It’s a terrible Steelers offense. KC defense will have its hands full the rest of the AFC playoffs, whether it is Buffalo or Cincy or Tennessee. [Reply]

Yeah, but they had FORTY FUCKING YARDS.
Even a bad offense can get more than 3/4 of a drive's worth of yards in a half.

A HALF!
That was some dominating stuff.
It doesn’t mean much. They shutdown the same terrible Steelers offense a few weeks ago and then got torched by Burrow/Chase. All 3 of the other teams left in the AFC playoffs are strong enough on offense to give KC’s defense a lot of problems. [Reply]
If the defense has a weakness, it's vs. running QBs. That's where they've struggled all season. It was a big part of the reason KC lost earlier this season.
But the defense also wasn't healthy for that game. And there's no question that both Gay and Bolton have matured rapidly this year. I think Spags will be able to gameplan much better this time around, but Allen is still going to do some damage with all those receivers.
The offense needs to come out hot. The defense will only be able to do so much if good Josh shows up. [Reply]
