The Chiefs struggled to find their rhythm, making this a critical win for Pittsburgh as they aim for a strong finish to the season.
Quarterback Drew Allar was the star of the night for the Steelers, throwing for an impressive 368 yards and four touchdown passes, effectively leading the offense. Wide receiver DK Metcalf was a standout target, racking up 135 receiving yards and contributing significantly to the Steelers' scoring onslaught.
