The Chiefs didn’t just beat the Steelers; they obliterated them. It was a Christmas Day massacre, a performance that left even the most seasoned football observers in awe. 29-10 defeat for the Pitts.

Pat McAfee summed it up perfectly: “The Chiefs beat the absolute dog sh–t out of the Pittsburgh Steelers. What do the Chiefs do? Just beat the hell out of them. This is the best Patrick Mahomes has looked all year. Their defense is putting people to sleep. Having a holly jolly time literally the entire day.”

The Chiefs, fueled by a dominant Mahomes and a stifling defense, sent a league-wide warning with a commanding win: they’re back, baby, and eyeing the throne. As for Russell Wilson and Co., the throne might be slipping away with the 3rd consecutive loss, dropping them to a 10-6 record.

But here’s the kicker: when Patrick Mahomes is not messing around, breaking his own trend in a way that had the stats geeks buzzing. Do you really think the Steelers had a chance?

Until this game, Mahomes had managed just two first-half touchdowns across 15 games. Yeah, you read that right. But against the Steelers? Boom—he tossed two touchdowns in the first half alone.

Talk about flipping the script! It wasn’t just a win; it was a masterclass in shaking off the old narrative and setting the tone for what’s next.

Patrick Mahomes was a heavyweight against Pittsburgh

What do you get when Patrick Mahomes is in rhythm? A masterclass. Against the Steelers, Mahomes was practically untouchable in a 29-10 win. The numbers? Pure gold: 29 of 38 completions (76.3%), 320 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Oh, and a shiny 127.1 passer rating to wrap it all up. The Steelers didn’t sack him once—not even close.

Mahomes was like a magician pulling touchdowns out of thin air. And here’s a stat for the books: Mahomes now has 75 games with multiple TD passes, more than anyone in NFL history under 30.

It’s wild, right? Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin summed it up best: “You give credit to them and Mahomes in terms of diagnosing coverages.” Translation? The guy was playing chess while Pitts was pitted with checkers.

But wait—Kelce wasn’t sitting this one out. With eight catches for 82 yards and a score, the man is now Kansas City’s all-time leader in touchdown receptions (77), surpassing the great Tony Gonzalez. And Patrick Mahomes has been gunning for this moment. “He’s done so much for this organization. At the end of the day, he wants that ring more than anything,” Mahomes shared postgame.

By the end of it, they are the Chiefs… If anyone doubted their readiness for another run at the Lombardi, this game was their not-so-subtle reminder.
