3 teams that could keep Pittsburgh out of Super Bowl LV
By Austin Lloyd
Kansas City Chiefs
Why Pittsburgh Should Look Out:
Kansas City is not only the most visually-intimidating challenger for the Steelers to have to bookmark, but they are also the most obvious. So with that said, we will get them out of the way first.
The defending Super Bowl champions are looking very promising so far in their attempt to run it back, holding a 9-1 record up high for all to see. With that in mind, it is fair to assume that many may see them as the favorite to come out on top of the AFC playoff bracket. But the prime question on the minds of Pittsburgh fans everywhere is would the defense be strong enough to at least somewhat contain that star-studded Chiefs offense?
Led by scoring genius Andy Reid on the sidelines, Patrick Mahomes II has proven that he alone is plenty in regards to making the chains move. But no, he also has a field composed of nothing but playmakers, including but not limited to tight end Travis Kelce, wide receiver Tyreek Hill, and running back/former Steeler Le’Veon Bell.
Of course, Pittsburgh’s defense has played at a phenomenal level every Sunday. But then again, they have not faced a regime quite like this one. So all one can do is hope that the Steelers are solid enough to keep Kansas City at bay.
