Steelers-Chiefs: 3 Keys to Victory

Hello, all. Tonight, I will be at Heinz Field for a Sunday Night Showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and my Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers badly would like to win this one, and here are three things they can do to ensure that they do so.


Key #1: Ring the Bell

Guess who's back? Back again? Bell is back. Tell a friend.

Yes, after serving a three game suspension to start the season due to a missed drug test, Le'Veon Bell rejoins the Steelers. There is no way to overstate how important it is that #26 is back in the Steeler lineup. Bell is one of the most valuable players in all of football when he is healthy and ready to go, and I expect him to be both of those things tonight. Bell hasn't played a game in nearly a year, but that won't get in the way of a fantastic performance tonight. Mike Tomlin wants to use Bell often, and Bell will not disappoint.
Odds of excution: High

Key #2: Next man up
Ryan Shazier is one of 7 Steelers that has offically been ruled out for Sunday Night

That's one of Coach Tomlin's catchphrases, and it holds true for tonight's game. 7 Steelers have been officially ruled out, including Ryan Shazier, Ramon Foster, Eli Rogers and Robert Golden. B.J. Finney will be replacing Foster at offensive guard, while rookie Jordan Dangerfield will be starting in place of Golden at Strong Saftey. To make up for the loss of Rogers, Sammy Coates will need to step up, and that will be no easy task. It is said that Coates matches up with KC's standout cornerback, Marcus Peters. Assuming this is true, Sammy will have his hands full, and it will be interesting to see how he can respond. The Steelers are dealing with injuries, but if you follow this team, you know that is nothing new, and that Pittsburgh can answer in the face of adversity.


Odds of excution: Solid

Key #3: Do everything differntly from the Philly game
34-3. That's the scoreline from the Steelers game last week in Philadelphia. And it was even worse than the score would indicate. So, the Steelers need to forget about Philly and remember that they are still a good football team that is playing at home, in primetime, and in front of 70,000 screaming fans that will welcome back one of the game's best players with open arms. The Steelers will be pumped up, and you can take that to the bank.

Odds of excution: Great


Final Prediction
It seems that whenever the Steelers lay an egg, they get right back up and bounce back the next week. Tonight will be no different. The Steelers will be determined to make sure that everybody understands that the Eagles loss was a fluke, and I expect them to win by a comfortable margin. If the Steelers lose tonight, than we have some problems.

Steelers 34, Chiefs 17.
