How are the Steelers and Chiefs performing this season?
The Pittsburgh Steelers are enjoying an impressive season under the Super Bowl-winning head coach, Mike Tomlin. He has been instrumental in the team's 10-5 record, making tough decisions and reaping the rewards.
One such decision was benching Justin Fields after Russell Wilson was cleared to return to action. Some pundits initially criticized the decision, but Wilson repaid his head coach's faith. The Steelers are in prime position to make a decent postseason run, and they'll be a tough nut to crack in January.
The Kansas City Chiefs enter Christmas with a lot to be thankful for. The reigning Super Bowl champs have the best record in the league (14-1). They have a stingy defense that rarely lets opposing teams score over 30 points, and arguably the greatest quarterback of this generation, Patrick Mahomes.
The Chiefs will fancy their chances in the final two games of the regular season.
