Can the Pittsburgh Steelers do the seemingly impossible by following the blueprint of another team that accomplished the same nearly two decades ago? They may have to try if the Kansas City Chiefs continue heating up en route to a perfect season. With their acquisition of edge rusher Preston Smith, Mike Garafolo can’t help being reminded of the mid-2000s New York Giants. That overachieving Giants team used a relentless, deep pass rush to take down an undefeated New England Patriots team and Tom Brady in the Super Bowl.
Of course, the Steelers can’t beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl since they’re in the same conference.
