KC Chiefs: Five Reasons to be Optimistic for Divisional Round

OFFENSIVE WEAPONS ARE A GO

When the Chiefs played the Steelers in week four, the offense was lagging immensely. Nobody was clicking and the defense had been the reason they won in “blowout” fashion to the Jets the week prior.

Since that fateful game, the Chiefs have really established some of their top offensive weapons.

If the Steelers want to advance to the Championship Round, they’ll have to figure out ways to stop Hill and Kelce.

Tyreek Hill is the most notable one, recording 12 total touchdowns on the season as a rookie. Hill was a threat in the passing game, rushing game, and on special teams, and has shown that if he gets a jump on anyone, he’s almost impossible to stop.

Travis Kelce is another guy who’s had an incredible season. Kelce only had four touchdowns, but blew his yardage number out of the water. Kelce caught 85 passes this season for 1,125 yards and proved he’s on his way to being an elite tight end in the NFL.

If the Steelers want to advance to the Championship Round, they’ll have to figure out ways to stop Hill and Kelce. They didn’t have to worry about that much in week four, but you have to believe it’s definitely on their minds now.
