At halftime in Pittsburgh, the Chiefs led 13-7

The Steelers were able to slow the Chiefs’ offense after Kansas City scored touchdowns on its first two possessions, but there is still more work to be done if they want to win at home on Christmas.

Russell Wilson’s one-yard touchdown run cut the Chiefs’ lead to 13-7 with 10:28 to play in the first half, but they failed to score any more points on their final two drives of the half. That gave the Chiefs a lead of six at halftime, and the Chiefs will get the ball at the start of the final 30 minutes of the game.

Wilson had another chance to score, but he didn’t see Chiefs safety Justin Reid in the end zone and Reid intercepted a pass to prevent the Steelers from scoring. Wilson also lost the ball in a sack on the Steelers’ first possession of the afternoon, but was able to recover the ball.

Wilson is 10 of 15 for 105 yards and Patrick Mahomes is 14 of 18 for 143 yards and touchdown passes to Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson. The Chiefs punted three times after those points but looked for another scoring opportunity before a penalty on right tackle Jawaan Taylor negated a fourth-down conversion by tight end Travis Kelce.

The Chiefs will look to regain their early offensive momentum from the break, and the Steelers will need to prevent that from happening in order to pull off this game.
