The Chiefs and Steelers matchup was easily the sexiest looking game we had going into Week 6. It ended up with the Chiefs’ first loss of the season, and the Steelers being the team that we thought they were — word to Dennis Green.

The Steelers reasserted themselves as AFC contenders with the win. Up until Sunday afternoon, most storylines surrounding the Steelers involved Alejandro Villanueva accidentally going out for the national anthem, Le’Veon Bell’s slow start, and Ben Roethlisberger questioning if he had it anymore. Sunday, they simply outplayed the Chiefs, narratives be damned.

Le’Veon Bell proved once again that he was back. He had 32 carries for the Steelers, with 184 yards and a touchdown. Antonio Brown also showed out for Steel City, with eight catches for 155 yards and a touchdown.

Brown also had one of the most breathtaking plays of the weekend with his one-handed catch that was tipped by a Chiefs defender. It was a game that we knew the Steelers were capable of winning, and they finally put it together.

But let us not forget about Ben Roethlisberger.

He said last week that he simply might not have it anymore, and he followed that up by beating the best team in the NFL. Sure, he didn’t stuff the box score with stats but did say afterward via ESPN, “I guess this old cowboy’s got a little bit left in him.” Because you know, old quarterbacks say corny things.

The Steelers have had the Chiefs’ number as of late. They not only beat them in both the regular season and postseason last year, but Roethlisberger has won six straight against Kansas City. With Pittsburgh now sitting at 4-2 — a game behind the Chiefs’ 5-1 for the AFC’s best — the win will be big for the Steelers if it comes down to tiebreakers later in the season. The chances aren’t low that they’ll meet again, and NFL fans couldn’t be too upset if that were the case.
