Lawrence almost threw a puck going the other way from the 5. Thought Mosley was trusting to help the draft pick by not catching.
It’s a sad state of affairs when you guys are probably now my second favorite team in the division.

There are only 3 games. So they will show the game that isn't in commercial.
Yeah, they have way less discretion in the late window. Probably the Broncos and Raiders had a few stints where the other two games were in commercial.

But man, that snow game is easily the most entertaining of the three going on right now.

Would not have guessed that Trent Green was the career leader in TD passes at Arrowhead Stadium prior to today.

That McManus kick was one of the cooler kicks I have ever seen. It waved in and out of the goalpost twice, before waving back in.

How do you toss it five yards backward on 4th and 1 against a defense that you have barely moved the ball against?!?

The Steelers are a mess.

I'm sure there is an obvious answer to this, but how is a false start differentiated from a pre-snap movement by a lineman, say, for communication purposes? I can't remember which game it was today but a tackle was called for a false start after he turned to look at the guard, the DE jumped, and the whistle blew. Meanwhile that seems to happen on every play and it's never called. I understand that a false start is supposedly when a player simulates the start of the play but how is a defensive player supposed to know the difference?

Steelers haven't scored a first half TD in the last 5 games. The last time that happened was 1940 when the players wore long hair for helmets.

Bad sack by Russ probably costs his team 3 points.

Maybe this was covered earlier, but CBS sends their "A" team to a game anyone and their brother knew would be non-competitive? Weird

True but the Steelers are a huge draw and still in playoff contention, even though pretty much everyone with a brain thinks they suck. I am mildly surprised the Steelers defense didn’t play better. They are a solid unit and Kansas City is without Kelce and hill has been limited. BUT the Steelers offense is just putrid. Big Ben has to call it quits after this year
