The Kansas City Chiefs shook off a slow start and stormed past the Pittsburgh Steelers 42-21 in an AFC Wildcard contest at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday night.

After a scoreless first quarter the Steelers got on the board first on a fumble recovery touchdown by TJ Watt. The Chiefs responded with 21 straight points before halftime and rolled the rest of way.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 404 yards and 5 touchdowns with 1 interception on a tipped ball early. With running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire out of the lineup Jerick McKinnon came up big with 61 yards on the ground and 81 yards receiving with a score. Travis Kelce had 108 yards receiving with a touchdown right before halftime, and he also threw for a score on a unique goal-line play to Byron Pringle.

In what is likely his last game Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw for 215 yards and two touchdowns.

Kansas City improved to 13-5 on the season and earned the right to host the Buffalo Bills for an AFC Divisional Round Playoff game next Sunday night. We’ll have coverage on KJAN.
