Steelers headed back to KC for playoffs if they make it

Assuming nothing crazy happens in the Sunday night game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be in the NFL playoffs as the No. 7 seed. This is after the Steelers found a way to gut out a 16-13 overtime win over the hated Baltimore Ravens.

What does this mean? It means, should things work out Sunday night, the Steelers will be heading back to Kansas City for a rematch with the Chiefs.

The Chiefs laid a beatdown on the Steelers back on December 26. Pittsburgh came out of the gate slow and never stepped up. Even the announcers noted how it looked like the Steelers had given up early.

Pittsburgh won its last two games of the season to put themselves in this position and the team definitely feels like it’s rallied, especially on defense. Will it be enough to get past the Chiefs in a rematch? Let us know in the comments if you think the outcome this time would be different.
