LT DJ Humphries is out,” Ian Rapoport of NFL Network <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1871595743338983868" rel="noopener">wrote</a> on X, formerly Twitter.</p><h2><b>Chris Jones dealing with injury ahead of Chiefs-Steelers Christmas Day game</b></h2><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-concerning-chris-jones-development-could-playoff-implications">Jones is dealing with a calf injury</a>. For now, he is questionable for Wednesday’s game. Although the Chiefs would obviously love to have Jones on the field, there is no reason to rush him back from injury. Kansas City currently holds the best record in the NFL with a stellar 14-1 mark, so the Chiefs are already focused on the postseason.</p><p>Kansas City would rather have Chris Jones rested and ready to return in the playoffs as opposed to risking further injury near the end of the regular season. With that being said, Jones could play if it becomes clear that his injury is not too serious.</p><p>As Rapoport reported, Jawaan Taylor is also questionable, while DJ Humphries has been ruled out. The Chiefs are hoping to get healthy before the postseason begins as they look to win a third consecutive championship.</p><p>Jones, who is still one of the best defensive tackles in football at 30 years old, has played a pivotal role in the Chiefs’ success over the years. In 2024, Jones has recorded 37 combined tackles, 19 solo tackles and five sacks. He has played in 15 games up to this point.</p><p>Jones’ status is in question for the Chiefs-Steelers Christmas Day game. Kansas City will continue to provide updates as they are made available. Regardless of whether or not Jones is available, the Chiefs will look to improve their record to 15-1 on Wednesday against the Steelers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The defending AFC champions, led by Patrick Mahomes, will look to continue their strong push toward the AFC’s top seed. With a packed Acrisure Stadium hosting the action, this matchup promises to be a gift for football fans. It will be a battle of playoff-bound teams showcasing grit, strategy, and star power. Here are some bold predictions for the Chiefs’ pivotal Week 17 showdown.</p><h2>A Dominant Season So Far</h2><p>The Kansas City Chiefs have once again proven why they remain the NFL’s undisputed favorites. Entering Week 17 with a record of 14-1, the Chiefs have found ways to win despite not having the most consistent offense. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-patrick-mahomes-confident-stance-christmas-clash-steelers">Mahomes has not exactly been his very best</a>, but he remains such an effective primetime player. At his peak, Mahomes can still dazzle fans with his arm strength, pocket mobility, and uncanny ability to create magic under pressure. Complemented by a solid receiving corps headlined by Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy alongside a rushing attack featuring Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt, the Chiefs’ offense continues to torment opposing defenses.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Xavier-Worthy-runs-the-ball-against-the-Houston-Texans.jpg"><figcaption>Denny Medley-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Kansas City’s Week 16 victory over the Houston Texans was a testament to their adaptability. Facing a feisty Texans team fighting for their own playoff hopes, the Chiefs leaned on a balanced game plan that saw Mahomes throw for 260 yards while the defense delivered key turnovers to seal <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401671780">a 27-19 win</a>. The win not only secured the Chiefs’ position atop the AFC West but also underscored their ability to find answers in tight situations. That’s a trait that will be crucial against a dangerous Steelers squad.</p><p><i><b>*Watch NFL games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/stream/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(free trial)*</a></b></i></p><p>Here are our bold predictions for the Kansas City Chiefs as they face the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Week 17 Christmas Day game of the 2024 NFL season.</p><h2>Patrick Mahomes shines with 300+ yards and 3 touchdowns</h2><p>Patrick Mahomes has provided an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-patrick-mahomes-sets-career-mark-despite-ankle-sprain">optimistic update on his ankle</a>, stating it “should be in a better place” for Week 17 against the Steelers. Despite playing on a sprained ankle in his last outing, Mahomes showed little sign of being slowed down. He’s expected to be fully ready for this pivotal postseason clash.</p><p>Kansas City’s offense is poised for another electrifying performance, led by a vintage showing from Mahomes. Facing a Steelers defense that has struggled against the pass at times, Mahomes is well-positioned to dissect Pittsburgh’s secondary with his signature mix of precision and creativity. Big plays to Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, and Marquise Brown are likely in the cards. As such, Mahomes should rack up over 300 yards through the air and finds the end zone three times.</p><h2>Worthy and Brown combine for 150+ yards</h2><p>Rookie wideout Xavier Worthy <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-xavier-worthy-colts-draft-day-call-patrick-mahomes-team-up">continues to solidify his role</a> as a key playmaker in Kansas City’s offense. In the Chiefs’ win over Houston in Week 16, Worthy led the team in targets, catching seven of his 11 looks for 65 yards and a touchdown. His consistency has been a major asset to the Chiefs’ passing game.</p><p>Meanwhile, Marquise “Hollywood” Brown is finding his stride within Andy Reid’s system. Reid hinted at an increased snap count for Brown. The latter already made the most of his limited opportunities, catching five passes on just 14 snaps against the Texans. With his role expanding in Week 17, Brown and Worthy are poised to torch Pittsburgh’s secondary for a combined 150+ yards. Their pairing should add a dangerous dynamic to the Chiefs’ aerial attack.</p><h2>Isiah Pacheco breaks loose for 100+ yards and a touchdown</h2><p>Sure, the Steelers will undoubtedly focus on slowing Mahomes. However, that attention could pave the way for a standout game from Isiah Pacheco. The running back has struggled this season, but his relentless energy and physical style will be key to attacking Pittsburgh’s run defense. With the Chiefs’ offensive line opening up lanes and Pacheco’s ability to fight for extra yards, he’s set to eclipse the 100-yard mark on the ground and find the end zone at least once. His contributions will keep the Steelers’ defense off balance. Pachecho should perfectly complement Kansas City’s high-octane passing game.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Chiefs-running-back-Isiah-Pacheco.jpg"><figcaption>Jay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2>Chiefs book 15th win</h2><p>A victory over Pittsburgh would cement the Chiefs’ reputation as the team to beat in the entire league. With Mahomes leading a balanced offensive attack, the Chiefs should claim their 15th win of the season. Keep in mind that the Kansas City thrive under pressure. Another solid performance on both sides of the ball will ensure Kansas City’s ticket to a first-round playoff bye. As such, they will continue their march toward a possible Super Bowl three-peat.</p><h2>Looking Ahead</h2><p>As the Chiefs take the field on Christmas Day, the excitement is palpable. Both Kansas City and Pittsburgh have much to prove, with the Chiefs eyeing sustained dominance and the Steelers eager to cement their hold on the AFC North. Yes, the Steelers boast a resilient defense and a star quarterback in Russell Wilson. However, Kansas City’s experience, depth, and offensive firepower will likely prove too much for their opponent.</p><p>With Mahomes leading the way, Woorthy spearheading a fearsome receiver corps, and Pacheco delivering in the ground game, the Chiefs are poised for a statement victory. Add to that the electric atmosphere of Acrisure Stadium and the high stakes of a holiday game, and this Week 17 clash has all the ingredients for a memorable showdown. A victory over Pittsburgh will not only secure the AFC’s top seed. It would also send a clear message to the rest of the league: the road to the Lombardi Trophy still runs through Kansas City.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In the process, the Chiefs brought in a respected veteran at tight end.</p><p>Kansas City <a href="https://x.com/Chiefs/status/1871288641496236184" rel="noopener">has signed</a> Robert Tonyan to their practice squad, the team announced. Furthermore, tight end Peyton Hendershot <a href="https://x.com/Chiefs/status/1871288641496236184" rel="noopener">has been designated to return to practice</a> while linebacker Jack Cochrane was placed on the reserve/injured list.</p><p>Tonyan spent five games with the Minnesota Vikings in 2024, but he didn’t record a stat. He was with the Chicago Bears in 2023, catching 11 passes for 112 yards over 17 games. However, when fans look back on Tonyan’s career thus far, they remember his time with the Green Bay Packers.</p><p>Through the first five years of his NFL career, Tonyan caught 137 passes for 1,437 yards and 17 touchdowns. His best season came in 2020, when he grabbed 52 passes for a career-high 586 yards and 11 touchdowns.</p><p>At this stage of his NFL career, it’s unlikely Tonyan will revert to his Packers numbers; which is why he was added on the practice squad. Still, he’s a sensible addition for a team with established weapons already at the position.</p><p>Travis Kelce may not be as explosive as usual, but he still leads the team with 89 receptions for 739 yards. Noah Gray is tied for the team lead in touchdowns with five.</p><p>So it’s not like Robert Tonyan is going to immediately come in and carve out a role. However, if either player were to suffer an injury, the Chiefs would lean on Tonyan’s experience. The playbook would undoubtedly change, but at least they have a tight end who has played in big moments before.</p><p>The Chiefs are attempting to become the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row. Tonyan won’t push them over the hump to glory, but he’ll certainly relish in the legacy.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Expect a high-stakes showdown at Acrisure Stadium.</p><p><i><b>Here are the Chiefs-Steelers <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nfl" rel="noopener">NFL Prop odds</a>, courtesy of FanDuel. </b></i></p><h2><b>NFL Odds: Chiefs-Steelers Prop Odds</b></h2><p><b>Pat Freiermuth Anytime TD Scorer (+250)</b></p><p><b>Patrick Mahomes Over 16.5 Rushing Yards (-113)</b></p><p><b>Russell Wilson Over 0.5 Interceptions (-114)</b></p><p><b>Xavier Worthy Anytime TD Scorer (+260)</b></p><h2><b>Why Pat Freiermuth Will Score A Touchdown</b></h2><p>Pat Freiermuth has a great opportunity to find pay dirt in this Christmas Day showdown against the NFL-leading Kansas City Chiefs. Freiermuth has been on a touchdown streak, finding the end zone in three out of his last four games, showcasing his growing chemistry with quarterback Russell Wilson. The Steelers face a Chiefs defense that has struggled against tight ends, allowing 6.27 receptions, 72.67 yards, and 0.33 touchdowns per game to opposing tight ends.</p><p>Additionally, with the absence of key receivers like George Pickens, Freiermuth has seen an uptick in opportunities, especially with red zone targets, making him a focal point when the Steelers are inside the 20. The Chiefs’ pass defense ranks 18th in the league, indicating vulnerabilities that Freiermuth can exploit. Given these dynamics, expect Freiermuth to capitalize on his opportunities and find the end zone this Christmas.</p><h2><b>Why Patrick Mahomes Will Have Over 16.5 Rushing Yards</b></h2><p>Patrick Mahomes is likely to surpass 16.5 rushing yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day. Mahomes has averaged 18.7 rushing yards per game this season, demonstrating his ability to extend plays with his legs. Even after being diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain two weeks ago that had him sit out the remainder of the Chief’s victory over the Browns, Mahomes was able to extend plays with his legs against the pass rush of the Texans rushing for 33 yards on 5 attempts and 1 touchdown. Moreover, the Steelers’ defense has shown vulnerabilities against mobile quarterbacks, allowing 218 yards on the ground this season and 14.53 rushing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks.</p><p>With Mahomes often facing pressure, his instinct to scramble will be crucial. In recent matchups, he has utilized his mobility effectively, especially in critical situations to where he has averaged 19.7 rushing yards per game this season. Additionally, with the Chiefs likely to face a competitive game, Mahomes may need to rely on his rushing ability to keep drives alive.</p><h2>Why <b>Russell Wilson Will Have Over 0.5 Interceptions</b></h2><p>Russell Wilson is likely to throw more than 0.5 interceptions against the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day. Despite a solid touchdown-to-interception ratio of 15 touchdowns to 4 interceptions in 2024, Wilson has faced challenges, particularly under pressure. He ranks among the league leaders in sacks taken, which often leads to rushed throws and mistakes.</p><p>The Chiefs’ defense excels at creating turnovers, currently ranking in the top of the league in interceptions with six in their last two games alone. Their aggressive pass rush can force Wilson into uncomfortable situations, increasing the likelihood of errant throws. With the stakes high and the Chiefs’ defense focused on capitalizing on mistakes, expect Wilson to struggle against their pressure, likely resulting in at least one interception this Christmas.</p><h2><b>Why Xavier Worthy Will Score A Touchdown</b></h2><p>Xavier Worthy is set to score a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day. As a rookie wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, Worthy has already demonstrated his explosive playmaking ability averaging over 10 yards per catch in his last 6 games. He has been heating up over the last 6 games of the season with 31 catches for 313 yards and 2 touchdowns. His remarkable speed, showcased by a record 4.21-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, makes him a deep threat that defenses struggle to contain.</p><p>The Steelers’ secondary has shown vulnerabilities, particularly against speedy receivers who can exploit mismatches. Worthy’s route-running skills allow him to create separation, making him a prime target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. With the Chiefs likely to utilize their dynamic offensive scheme, Worthy’s ability to stretch the field will open up opportunities in the red zone. Given his current form and the matchup dynamics, expect Worthy to find the end zone this Christmas, solidifying his impact in the Chiefs’ offense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His in-depth knowledge of two of the most passionate and raucous fan bases in the country gives him a truly unique writing voice.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Kansas City Chiefs</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>When Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered an ankle injury versus the Cleveland Browns in Week 15, fans speculated that he could miss the next one or two games. The three-time Super Bowl MVP has no intention of resting before his team clinches the No. 1 seed, however.</p><p>Mahomes did not carry an injury designation into Saturday’s matchup against the Houston Texans and looked spry on the field, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-patrick-mahomes-sets-career-mark-despite-ankle-sprain">rushing for a 15-yard touchdown</a> in the 27-19 win. He <a href="https://x.com/bynatetaylor/status/1871255228458348849?s=46&amp;t=0VgLvCcpTsmLUyl6hpiIew" rel="noopener">expects his ankle to be even stronger</a> for Wednesday’s Christmas showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers.</p><p>“I think I’ll be in a better place ankle-wise,” Mahomes said, per The Athletic’s Nate Taylor. “It should be in a better place.” With his team only one win or a Buffalo Bills loss away from earning home-field advantage in the playoffs, the face of the NFL is not communicating any physical weakness.</p><p>His high pain tolerance is well known by now, but he is still human. Mahomes must enter the postseason in fair standing if the Chiefs are going to truly pursue their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-news-tom-brady-did-not-stutter-super-bowl-pick">third consecutive championship</a>. He knows his body, though, and will likely limit the wear-and-tear he incurs during this short break between games.</p><h2><b>Will Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs reach another gear?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Patrick-Mahomes-with-KC-Chiefs-1.jpg"><figcaption>Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 29-year-old QB is somewhat vulnerable because of an inconsistent offensive line and passing attack, but he is ramping up at the right time. Mahomes has thrown eight touchdowns and no interceptions in his last five games, displaying better judgement in the pocket than he did earlier in the season. He will still have to elevate his play if Kansas City is going to once again outlast the Bills, Baltimore Ravens and the rest of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs">the AFC field</a> this winter.</p><p>A functional ankle is a central part of that level-up process. TJ Watt and the Steelers will try their hardest to put Mahomes under great stress this week. Such a task is rarely completed to full effect, though. KC is scraping by without a peak No. 15. If he can stay on his feet, avoid turnovers and develop sufficient chemistry with an unpredictable pass-catching group, history could be made on Feb. 9 in the Caesars Superdome.</p><p>That is obviously a lot that has to break right, but Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs (14-1) have built an empire by surviving the adversity in front of them. They will attempt to trudge through another battle on Christmas Day, starting at 1 p.m. ET. in Acrisure Stadium.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But that means the AFC games are finished and the playoff picture has cleared up. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-sean-payton-calls-out-need-to-be-smarter-after-loss-chargers">Chargers beat the Broncos on Thursday night</a>, starting the week with a big win. Wins by the Chiefs, Bills, and Ravens helped clear things up as well. We’ll take a look at the AFC playoff picture heading into Week 17.</p><p>Five of the seven AFC playoff spots are clinched through 16 weeks. The Broncos could have clinched a spot by beating the Chargers on Thursday but they collapsed in the second half. That win sent the Bolts’ playoff chances to 94%, so there is a very slim chance the playoffs change in the final two weeks. But anything can happen in the NFL and until there is an X next to seven teams, nothing is locked in.</p><p>Week 16 is over and done and the holidays are around the corner. Who is in a playoff spot and who is grasping to slim chances? Here is the AFC playoff picture.</p><h2><b>#1: Kansas City Chiefs (14-1, 1st in AFC West)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Patrick-Mahomes-with-KC-Chiefs-5.jpg"><figcaption>Denny Medley-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Chiefs won another one-possession game on Saturday, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-andy-reid-makes-bold-claim-after-tight-chiefs-win-over-texans">beating the Houston Texans 27-19</a>. They have a quick turnaround for a Wednesday game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road. Mahomes and the crew have a magic number of one to clinch the AFC’s top seed. If they win, they will secure the all-important bye in the first round.</p><h2><b>#2: Buffalo Bills (12-3, 1st in AFC East)</b></h2><p>Despite going down 14-0 in the first quarter, the Bills took down the Patriots at home in Week 16. They have already won the AFC East and are nearing a clinch of the number two seed. That does not mean what it used to be with the extra playoff team but it does mean more playoff football in Orchard Park.</p><h2><b>#3: Pittsburgh Steelers (10-5, t-1st in AFC North)</b></h2><p>The Steelers lost an important game to the Ravens on Saturday that brought the two teams to a tie. Pittsburgh would win the division if they ended with identical records because of their conference winning percentage. That makes both Christmas Day games very important, as the Steelers host the Chiefs and the Ravens travel to Houston.</p><h2><b>#4: Houston Texans (9-6, 1st in AFC South)</b></h2><p>The Texans lost more than just the game on Sunday. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-news-demeco-ryans-reveals-tank-dells-return-houston-dislocating-knee">Tank Dell left with a gruesome knee injury</a>, adding to the cavalcade of injuries for the team. They have already clinched the AFC South and the playoffs, so the loss does not crush their playoff standings. Nico Collins will have to step up on Wednesday to give fans hope for the playoffs.</p><h2><b>#5: Baltimore Ravens (10-5, t-1st in AFC North)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Lamar-Jackson-with-Baltimore-Ravens-10.jpg"><figcaption>Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Ravens evened the season series against the Steelers and clinched the playoffs on Saturday because of a great performance from their defense. The pick-six was the final nail in the coffin for the game. Now, the Ravens still need the Steelers to lose one of their final two games and Baltimore needs to win out. The good news is that Pittsburgh plays Kansas City this week. A win over Houston and Lamar Jackson could secure another division title.</p><h2><b>#6: Los Angeles Chargers (9-6, t-2nd in AFC West)</b></h2><p>The Chargers came storming back to beat the Broncos on Thursday and nearly secured their playoff spot. If they win against the Patriots on Saturday afternoon, they will secure a return to the playoffs. Jim Harbaugh has them in the playoff conversation after a miserable 2023 season and Thursday’s win proved that.</p><h2><b>#7: Denver Broncos </b><b>(9-6, t-2nd in AFC West)</b></h2><p>The Broncos had a 21-10 lead in the second quarter but collapsed to lose to the Chargers on Thursday. A win would have secured their playoff spot and the same is true for Week 17. They play the Bengals on the road, which is a tough matchup for their strong defense. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix has been strong this year and can prove it in this game. If they lose, they will have another win-and-in scenario against the Chiefs in Week 18. They should be rooting for KC on Wednesday so they have nothing to play for in Week 18.</p><h2><b>#8: Indianapolis Colts (7-8, 2nd in AFC South)</b></h2><p>The Colts are in the eighth spot and hold the tie-breakers over the Dolphins and Bengals. That means they only have to look ahead to the Broncos for their playoff chances. They need to win both games, Week 17 against the Giants and Week 18 against the Jaguars. Then the Broncos or Chargers have to lose both of their games, Week 17 against the Bengals and Week 18 against the Chiefs. The Athletic gives them a 14% <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5698572/2024/12/22/nfl-playoffs-projections-odds/" rel="noopener">chance of making the postseason</a>.</p><h2><b>#9: Miami Dolphins (7-8, 2nd in AFC East)</b></h2><p>The Dolphins have the tiebreaker over the Bengals but not over the Colts. So after their big win over the 49ers on Sunday, they need a lot of help. It starts with Miami winning out against the Browns and Patriots. Then, the Colts need to lose or tie at least one of their two games. And the Broncos or Chargers need to lose both of their games. If all of that happens, the Dolphins will make the playoffs. The Athletic gives them a 12% chance of making it.</p><h2><b>#10: Cincinnati Bengals (7-8, 3rd in AFC North)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Joe-Burrow-with-Cincinnati-Bengals-6.jpg"><figcaption>Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Bengals are the last team with playoff chances in the AFC. They started 0-3, cratering any chance they had of making the playoffs but a remarkable stretch has them grasping to hope. They do not have a tiebreaker over the Colts or Dolphins but they play the Broncos and can clinch that tiebreaker. They need to win both games (v Broncos, @ Steelers), the Broncos need to lose in Week 18 to the Chiefs, and the Dolphins and Colts both need to lose or tie one of their final games.

Sylvanie-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While some thought Crosby’s social media post was about a future trade to the Chiefs, he was actually just excited about Raiders’ K’Lavon Chaisson after a crucial third-down sack on Mac Jones.</p><p>It was relatively silly to think Crosby was talking about the Chiefs for multiple reasons.</p><p>The first reason is that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2024-nfl-trade-deadline-buyers-sellers#:~:text=The%202024%20NFL%20trade%20deadline%20is%20on%20Tuesday%2C%20Nov.,trades%20will%20occur%20than%20normal.">NFL trade deadline</a> has already come and gone. If the Chiefs were to trade for him, it’d be weird timing for Crosby to say something in Week 16 of the regular season.</p><p>The earliest the Raiders could ship Crosby off is Wednesday, March 12, 2025, at 4 p.m. ET. So, why would Crosby be this excited about a trade that couldn’t be made for another three-ish months?</p><p>On top of that, Crosby’s been very clear that he’d like to spend <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/raiders-news-maxx-crosby-addresses-trade-buzz">his entire career with the Raiders</a> if he could choose.</p><p>Sure, people can say one thing and do another, but if Crosby really wanted out of Las Vegas, he’d have tried to get traded earlier than Week 16.</p><p>Again, the Chiefs couldn’t even trade for Crosby right now if they wanted to. There’s no doubt they’d want to, as there are probably 31 other teams besides the Raiders who would like <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-2-best-trade-targets-round-out-2024-roster">Crosby on their defense</a>.</p><p>But, Raiders fans can all let out a sigh of relief, as their star pass rusher doesn’t appear to be going anywhere. He was just showing love for his guy Chaisson for coming away with the crucial sack in their first win since Week 4 of the regular season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the win did not come without consequences, as the star defensive lineman <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-concerning-chris-jones-development-could-playoff-implications">Chris Jones sustained a calf injury</a>, which may keep him out for this game and beyond. The defense has been one of the major reasons why the Chiefs are 13-1 this season. Therefore, losing Jones for any time will hinder them, especially against a tough opponent like the Steelers.</p><p>Patrick Mahomes seemed fine despite a report that said he would be week-to-week with an ankle injury. He went 28 for 41 with 260 yards passing with one touchdown while also rushing for 33 yards and a score. While it has not been the best season for Mahomes, he remains stellar when it matters, ensuring that the Chiefs get enough points to win games.</p><p>And the Chiefs have definitely won a lot of games. Significantly, they have 11 one-score victories this season. As impressive as it sounds, the Chiefs have ground and found ways to close games, escaping game-endangering situations. The Chiefs have won games even without their best offensive players doing well. Ultimately, they won despite just 82 rushing yards combined from Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt on Saturday.</p><p>The defense remains elite, even without Jones. However, they will have a Pittsburgh offense that is inconsistent yet dangerous. The Chiefs must contain an elusive quarterback who can still make plays.</p><p>The Chiefs will cover the spread if Mahomes continues to command the offense and makes big plays. Then, they must contain the Pittsburgh rushing attack.</p><h2><b>Why The Steelers Could Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The Steelers have thrived all season. However, they suffered their second consecutive loss on Saturday, losing to the Baltimore Ravens. Overall, it was another bad game, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-mike-tomlin-pittsburgh-never-did-ravens">Mike Tomlin blamed the run game</a> for the defeat. They allowed Derrick Henry to go off for 162 yards on 24 attempts. Yet, they could not match it on offense, with Jaylen Warren rushing 12 times for 48 yards and Najee Harris rushing nine times for 42 yards.</p><p>Getting the run game going will be the first step for the Steelers. Unfortunately, not many teams have been able to run the ball against the Chiefs this season. But not having to face Jones this week might help them. Additionally, the Steelers need Russell Wilson to have a good game. While he did not play badly last week, he must be extra careful when holding onto the football.</p><p>Of course, the defense has been the heart of this team, which is why the Steelers are in first place in the AFC North. Their subpar performance against the Ravens raised questions of how well they can hold up going into the postseason. Regardless, they will be at home after two consecutive road games and looking to bounce back.</p><p>The Steelers will cover the spread if they can establish the running game and chew clock to keep Mahomes off the field. Then, they must contain Hunt and Pacheco, while also forcing Mahomes into making some bad decisions.</p><h2><b>Final Chiefs-Steelers Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Chiefs are 7-8 against the spread, while the Steelers are 10-5 against the odds. Moreover, the Chiefs are 4-3 against the spread on the road, while the Steelers are 5-1 against the odds at home. The Chiefs are 4-6 against the spread when facing the conference, while the Steelers are 7-3 against the odds when facing the AFC.</p><p>The Chiefs have had a lot of luck this week.

While winning alone is good enough, the Chiefs also saw star wide receiver <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-officially-activate-marquise-brown-week-16-matchup-texans">Marquise Brown make his season-debut</a> after he missed the first 15 weeks of the season due to a sternoclavicular injury that he suffered back during the preseason.</p><p>KC’s offense, particularly their pass-catching corps, has dealt with a bevy of injuries this season, but they got a look at what things could be like for them down the stretch when they added Brown into the fold alongside Travis Kelce, DeAndre Hopkins, and Xavier Worthy. After the game, Brown opened up on what it was like debuting with the Chiefs, and he sounds excited to <a href="https://twitter.com/HaroldRKuntz3/status/1870614932212858981" rel="noopener">continue helping them</a> as the playoffs draw near.</p><p>“It felt good,” Brown said after the game, per Harold R. Kuntz of FOX4 News Kansas City. “Just taking it all in.

After trading for Hopkins and getting Brown back, though, the Chiefs could end up looking very scary as they attempt to win their third straight Super Bowl this year.</p><p>As he gets more and more up to speed, Brown figures to become a more dangerous weapon for Kansas City, and we have seen in the past that he has the ability to be a No. 1 receiver. After making his season debut, Brown will quickly turn his attention towards Week 17, where the Chiefs will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas day.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
