Nothing to lose

The Steelers qualified for the postseason thanks to a combination of results after finishing the regular season 9-7-1 and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger knows they have nothing to lose against one of the best teams in the AFC.

Roethlisberger could play his last game with the Steelers if they are defeated. Amazingly, ‘Big Ben’ has thrown for more than 450 yards and four or more touchdowns in his last two postseason games.

The Steelers received an unexpected reinforcement in the figure of wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. The wide receiver had been ruled out for the entire season after suffering a shoulder injury, however, he has rehabilitated in the best way and will be ready to face the Chiefs.

Another piece of good news the Steelers received was that running back Najee Harris did not have a serious elbow injury. The Alabama rookie was injured in the first quarter of the game against the Baltimore Ravens.
