The Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC West and clinched a playoff spot in a 36-10 romp over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. Playing a bit short handed was no problem for Kansas City as they rolled to a 23-0 halftime lead.

Patrick Mahomes threw three touchdown passes and the Chiefs defense forced three turnovers that were converted into 17 points for KC. The Chiefs were playing without star tight end Travis Kelce, kicker Harrison Butker, punter Tommy Townsend and a few others due to COVID protocols.

Kansas City clinched the AFC West Title for the sixth straight year thanks to the Chargers loss to the Texans earlier in the afternoon. The Chiefs are still in control of first place in the AFC, a game ahead of the Titans.

Next up for Kansas City is a trip to Cincinnati to face the Bengals next Sunday at Noon. We’ll have coverage on the Chiefs Radio Network starting at 11:00 a.m. Sunday.
