Kansas City Chiefs meet the Favorites Pittsburgh Steelers in week 10

The Chiefs are the first to get the ball in tonight’s game. They get a first down and then another short pass for a 5 yarder and then they get stopped at the line of scrimmage on the 2nd and Pittsburgh gets a sack on third down. So the Steelers stop them in a 3 and out and they must kick. A great way for a great defense to start the game.

A short pass to Heath Miller and a 1st down. But then on 3rd and 7 they do not get it and they must punt. The Chiefs get their second possession with decent field position.

And on second down a short pass to tight end Tony Moeaki and they have a first down. And then another short one and they are clodse to a first down again. And then a run by Jamaal Charles and the Chiefs are in the end zone and they get their first 1st quarter touchdown for them this year.

I had actually had predicted in an article earlier today that on the the most likely candidates to make a big play. And one of them makes the play early in the game.

The Steeler start this possession at the 20. With KC taking the early lead they need to make something happen this drive. A pass to Miller and they are close to a 1st. On a 3rd and 4 Roethlisberger with lots of time finally has to throw it away and they go 3 and out a 2nd time.

Kansas City is now going to get their chance to actually take a more than 1 score lead on their next drive. It’s time for the Steeler defense to show the kind of play making that has made them the #1 rated defense.

It takes a few plays but they get a first down so the drive is starting to move down the field. Then on a second and 7 they give it to Charles again and he gets a first. Matt Cassel trys a play action and it falls apart and he takes 2 or so on his own and then a short run gets a few more. Then on a 3rd and 3 Cassel throws an incomplete and they have to punt.

Pittsburgh starts their 3rd drive from the 13 and on a short pass they get a few. After a first down they give it to Redman and he gets a first down but with a holding call on the run it brings up 1st and 19 with a minute and a half left in the 1st quarter. Then a second call for unsportsmanlike conduct for swearing at an official bringing the total yards needed to 29.

And then a fumble on the next run by Redman and the Kansas City Chiefs get the ball back with 1st and goal at their own 10 yard line. A short run and they are at the 4 yard line looking at the end zone. Are we looking at another one of the big upsets that I also talked about earlier and we have seen a number of times this season? It could be. It’s 3rd and goal with the football on the 3.

A nice play by Steeler outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley and he makes the stop and they take the field goal. This gives the Chiefs a 10 point lead with Pittsburgh now being down 10 to 0. The kick goes out of bounds so Roethlisberger starts from the 40.

Another fumble but the Steelers recover so they dodged a bullet there. A short run and that brings up 3rd and 2. Back to Miller again and a nice 1st down and a nice pick up and they are to mid field. On 2nd and 10 and a pass to Miller and he gets about 12 or 14 yards and another 1st.

A short pass to tight end David Paulson and he gets a few. A short run by Dwyer and another 1st. Suddenly it’s 3rd and 8 with footthe ball on the 18. Roethlisberger throws an incomplete and they need to take the field goal and the score is Kansas City 10 to Pittsburgh 3 with a little over 9 minutes in the first half.

Kansas City starts this drive from the 8 yard line with a 7 point lead. The Chiefs are doing a great job of getting those runs on the right side and Pittsburgh has unsuccessful stopping them so far. A flag for false start backs them up and then it is third and long. And the Steelers are able to break up the 3rd down conversion and KC has to punt from deep in their own territory.

This will give he Steelers will get the ball back at mid field on about the 50. They try a deep pass play in the end zone but it is incomplete. But a run by Dwyer and they have a 1st down. Another run by Dwyer and he gets 6 more. A play action play falls apart and Roethlisberger runs it for 14 yards and gets a nice first down.

And on 1st and 7 a pass to Mike Wallce in the end zone a one handed grab and he comes up with the ball The officials rule it a touchdown on the field so it will be reviewed. He does gain control of the ball before rolling out of bounds so the Steelers have tied the score with the extra point with just over 3 minutes left in the first half.

The Chiefs get a 1st down, and then no gain on the next down and it is the 2 minute warning. Kansas City is not managing the clock well and 3rd and 8 there is only 40 seconds left and the play is broken up and they will need to kick the football.

The Steelers get the ball back with 40 seconds left and 2 time outs and the football on the 13. They let the clock run out and go to the locker room at half time with a tied score at 10 each.
