The merry season has dawned upon the humble abode of American football. The reigning champions Kansas City Chiefs (14-1) look forward to driving through the metaphorical snow of Pittsburgh into a resounding victory against the Steelers.
As mistletoes hang and candy canes sing a merry tune, the Chiefs play for the holiday spirit to keep the candle burning until the very end. The Chiefs sustained a loss to the Buffalo Bills, terminating the chance of recreating the Miami Dolphins’ perfect season in 1972. However, a win on Wednesday could guarantee the AFC’s best record and a bye week in the postseason.
The Chiefs and the Steelers are meeting for the 38th time in regular season – the latter holding a nine win advantage over the Chiefs. The 38th appearance comes in a string of three games in 11 days for the both the teams. Kansas City, along with three other AFC playoff contenders, the Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, and Pittsburgh Steelers, are facing a rare challenge. Since 1933, only one NFL team has played three games in 11 days during December: the 2011 Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaking to reporters on the issue, Patrick Mahomes admitted not feeling good about this specific part of the schedule.
You never want to play this many games in this short of time. It’s just not great for your body. But at the end of the day, it’s your job, your profession. You have to come to work and do it.
Mahomes said.

Why would the Steelers win?
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a well-round offense that has a few flaws. The Steelers have a potential to turn grinch on Chiefs’ Christmas if they can iron out the flaws and get Russell Wilson scoring. Over nine games, he has completed 174 of 268 passes (64.9%) for 2,129 yards, 15 touchdowns, and just four interceptions, earning a passer rating of 101.7.
In a thrilling 44-38 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals on December 1, he delivered an impressive performance, completing 29 of 38 passes (76.3%) for 414 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. The roster is boosted with the presence of a stalwart like TJ Watt in the defense.
Why would the Chiefs win?
The Kansas City Chiefs have established themselves as one of the most dominant teams in the NFL, and for good reason. The Chiefs combine exceptional talent with a winning mindset under two-time MVP Patrick Mahomes. Albeit a dip in form, Mahomes has an ability to execute under pressure, paired with his uncanny athleticism and playmaking skills.
Under the guidance of head coach Andy Reid, the Chiefs have developed a strategic and innovative style of play that keeps opponents guessing. Their defense is headlined by Steve Spagnuolo’s tactics, playing a critical role in their success by delivering key stops in crucial moments.
The Chiefs have a momentum up and going which they will look to continue on the holiday. They could another day of catching the win no matter what, a season-long phenomenon. The Chiefs aren’t too bothered about the score, the end result is what they look at.
