The Kansas City Chiefs continued their impressive season, securing a resounding 29-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day. The win locks up the AFC’s top playoff seed and earns the Chiefs a bye in the conference championship.
Patrick Mahomes led the offense, completing 29 of 38 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns. His performance was instrumental in the Chiefs’ dominant display, which saw them score a season-high 13 points in the first quarter alone.
The Chiefs’ defense also performed well, disrupting Russell Wilson and holding him to just one touchdown despite his efforts to rally the Steelers late. The Steelers were unable to mount a comeback, falling behind by as many as 22 points early in the fourth quarter.
Kansas City’s tight end Travis Kelce had an outstanding game, catching three passes for 84 yards and tying Tony Gonzalez’s franchise record with his 77th touchdown reception. His celebration of breaking the record involved dunking the ball over the goalpost, which drew a penalty but did not dampen his joy.
The win marked Kansas City’s third consecutive victory by eight-plus points, following recent wins against the Browns and Texans. The Chiefs’ performance was notable for its completeness on both offense and defense, setting them up as strong contenders for their first Super Bowl three-peat in NFL history.
