Kansas City is marching toward the AFC's top seed, and Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans was another step in the right direction. Patrick Mahomes playing with a high-ankle sprain, put on a show with 260 passing yards, 1 TD, and a rushing score to boot.
Xavier Worthy shined as Mahomes' go-to guy, with 7 receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown, proving the Chiefs' depth is a major strength. With Mahomes playing through the pain, Kansas City's offense remains one of the most dangerous in the league.
The Steelers are hoping for a Christmas miracle as they look to bounce back after a 34-17 loss to Baltimore. Their offense, hampered by George Pickens' absence, has struggled to find rhythm, but Pittsburgh got some good news this week, Pickens practiced Monday and is expected to return for this game.
If Russell Wilson can connect with Pickens and the Steelers' defense can make life difficult for Mahomes, Pittsburgh has a chance to give its fans a late holiday treat.
Prediction
While the Steelers are a scrappy bunch, the Chiefs' consistency and offensive firepower make them the clear favorite. Expect a spirited effort from Pittsburgh, but Kansas City's depth will ultimately carry the day.
Final Score Prediction: Chiefs 28, Steelers 17
