Steelers vs. Chiefs: what to watch for
By Justin Roem
Steelers Reserves
Not only were the Steelers embarrassed by the Eagles in a complete drubbing last week, they were also decimated by injuries. The injuries were no excuse for the lopsided loss, but they’ll continue to affect the Steelers for at least another week.
Ryan Shazier, Robert Golden, Eli Rogers, and Ramon Foster are all ruled out for the game against the Chiefs. In the cases of Foster and Shazier, the Steelers don’t just lose their play. The two are leaders on offense and defense, respectively.
The Steelers will have to do without on Sunday night. The next man up mentality means that the Steelers won’t be making any excuses if team play is below the line. This is an opportunity for some other players to show their worth.
L.J. Fort, Jordan Dangerfield, and B.J. Finney will all get significant playing time against the Chiefs.
