We hoped and longed for a competitive Wild Card affair in Kansas City and we got it for a little bit more than a quarter before Kansas City took care of business and dominated its way to a 42-21 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. What did our team think of the game, what did they take away from it and more is in our final Steelers' game reaction of the season. Our 2021-22 Steelers Autopsy comes out soon to recap the season that was.
The Steelers are headed to Kansas City for the second time in a month and this time it's with a berth in the Divisional Round on the line on Super Wild Card weekend. As big underdogs, the Steelers seem to be taking a house money, nothing-to-lose approach to the game. What has to happen for the Steelers to have a shot? Do we think they can pull off an upset? All that and more on Steelers Preview with the COMON Network Podcast team on Episode 104.
The improbable playoff berth has happened as the Jags beat the Colts, the Steelers beat the Ravens and the Raiders beat the Chargers. We're here to break down the gutsy win on the road in Baltimore as the city gets set for the NFL postseason.
