The Steelers face a tough opponent in their Sunday Night Football debut and need a win to rebound from a tough loss last week.

Throughout the season Still Curtain will team up with the opposing team from the FanSided Network to get a little intel and perhaps do a little predicting and/or trash talking for the upcoming game.

Today we have Benjamin Almquist of KC Kingdom, the Kansas City-themed site from the FanSided Network. Benjamin is here bringing us the info on those ball-hawking Chiefs defenders as well as his thoughts on Andy Reid and Alex Smith. He also provides us with a prediction for the game with score.

The Chiefs have been inconsistent through the first three games, getting that come-from-behind win against the Chargers to top it off but then coming up short against Houston before feasting on the Jets. Has the real Kansas City Chiefs team established themselves yet or is it still a work in progress?

"The Chiefs have started slow in both 2014 and 2015, so this is an unpleasant expectation. It’s probably safe to say that the Chiefs team we are seeing right now will be very different than the team we see in late November and December. A lot of that has to do with the absence of star pass rusher Justin Houston. The Chiefs defense is supposed to be based on the pass rush, but without Houston it isn’t that great. So now the Chiefs are adjusting, and the Jets found that out last week. Chiefs fans expect the offense to get better as well. KC showed some of what we expected during the comeback in Week 1, but other than that it has been quiet. That should change here soon though, especially with the return of Jamaal Charles."
