The Pittsburgh Steelers were just plain lucky to get out of Cleveland with a tie last week. They were guilty of six turnovers, five of which came out of Big Ben. They looked like a puzzled team, despite having some success on the ground. There is some concern here as Big Ben's 43 INTs over the last three years is his highest three consecutive year total since early in his career, and at age 36 there may be a drop off occurring. Pat Mahomes instantly learned who to get the ball to, and it is the electric Tyreek Hill. Mahomes completed 15 passes, seven of which were caught by Hill, and he generated 24.1 yards per carry, and two TDs. He is a huge weapon, and it seems like he already has a connection to Hill. Hill's performance didn't end there, as he brought back a punt for 91 yards, and yet another TD. The Chiefs have more non-offensive TDs than any team since 2013, finishing first two times, and third another. Mistakes could kill Pittsburgh in this one, so make the play on Kansas City.
