All the Steelers had to do was double-cover Hill and Patrick Mahomes would start coughing up turnovers, right? Or play two high safeties, that magical pentagram of a defensive alignment which supposedly ensorceles great quarterbacks. Or unleash Defensive Player of the Year frontrunner T.J. Watt, cracked ribs and all. Or get another crafty/wily/gutsy performance from Old Man Roethlisberger against the Chiefs defense which isn’t supposed to be all that great. After all, Steelers castoff Melvin Ingram starts for the the Chiefs, and all of Western Pennsylvania entered the game certain that Ingram has done NOTHING since his departure.

“I fish a lot and you never know when the fish are going to bite the bait. It teaches you patience. Just go in and grind and don’t look who is around you,” Pringle said during his postgame press conference on Sunday, December 26. “As long as we get that W at the end of the game, that is all that matters to me as a player. As a teammate, as long as we win and execute the plan and I took advantage of the opportunity that was given to me. I am okay with it.”

There’s one stat about the Chiefs that should scare the rest of the AFC | usatoday
The rest of the AFC better hope that the Chiefs somehow slip up over the final two weeks and don’t get home-field advantage in the playoffs because this one stat is bad news for the rest of the conference – the Chiefs have given up 10 points or fewer in their last five home games. That includes wins over the Packers, Cowboys, Broncos, Raiders and Steelers.

Why this KC Chiefs victory over the listing Steelers should excite you most of all | yahoo

“There’s a lot of sweat that goes into this, a lot of effort pushing through things that you don’t normally have to push through … both mentally and physically,” Reid said.
Particularly on Sunday, days after the Chiefs had as many as 13 players on the reserve/COVID-19 list and it was hard to know how much that might grow. Under the circumstances, the Chiefs could have reconciled and survived a loss and still been a potent playoff team, to be sure.
But doing what they did said something more about what’s here, especially about the resilience and adaptability of Reid and his staff and these players.

“Kansas City, for an offensive player right now, and the offensive climate we have in the NFL, is a dream destination,” Gordon told reporters. “It was an easy decision to make.
“I knew nothing about the city. I just knew there was a good group of guys here. The camaraderie, the family-life environment —when I got here, I knew immediately this was a place that could look out for me, take care of me, and I could reciprocate that back and come in and do my job and make it easy on myself.”

Anyone else still sleeping off the Christmas dinner coma?
Have to say, don’t remember ever seeing the addition of one guy to a defense be the catalyst of changing a defense from a piece of moldy old Swiss cheese into a brick wall. The addition of Melvin Ingram has saved our season. IMO he’s the MVP of our season (excluding Patrick of course).
Yes , absolutely love Ingram , just being able to move Chris back inside has been the difference and the turn around to this defense. Absolutely love everyone on this chiefs team. Just need to take care of business the next two weeks. Would feel a lot better Playing at home.
Not picking Ingram up earlier was
( probably a mistake ) 😁
I do not dispute the impact of Ingram and you are correct about the move to the inside of Jones. Add to that – the emergence and more snaps for Bolton and Gay, Ward came back from injury, Thornhill finally being put back into the lineup, Clark getting healthy and playing like it and so on.
A lot of pieces came together all at once. Ingram seems to have helped. Being able to play Dirty Dan like he should be instead of a full time player helped a lot, and getting the secondary healthy was a big part of that
Thornhill’s continued presence has been good. Definitely an improvement over Sorensen playing back there full time.
Yep. DD is a good player, but he has his role. Full time safety isn’t it.
Ingram was the missing piece
It’s going to be pretty cool for the Townsend brothers to share a couple of super bowl rings together!
GO CHIEFS
Go EAFOX….. hopefully you’re still on Christmas break. Enjoy your week….when are you posting the winning team. Hopefully I haven’t missed it..
Waiting to finish compiling statistics – I should get done today so I expect to start posting different results tomorrow.
Great Huddle to start the day Hoosier!
Anybody going to be at the Cinci game Sunday? The wife and I are planning on being there early to see if any local Chiefs fans will be tailgating.
