Steelers vs Chiefs live stream: How to watch the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs online

The Steelers vs Chiefs live stream arrives tonight, and it has Ben Roethlisberger and company in Kansas City after some crazy late-season heroics put them in the playoffs.

Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will try to do whatever it takes to make sure this NFL live stream is, in fact, Roethlisberger’s last NFL game.

The Steelers (9-7-1) are miraculously a playoff team. A basket by Daniel Carlson of the Raiders in the final seconds of the 2021 regular season propelled Pittsburgh into the playoffs.

At the start of Week 18, the Steelers needed to beat the Ravens and then make the Chargers and Raiders game end in something other than a tie. Whoever won or lost that game didn’t impact Pittsburgh’s playoff chances. The Steelers would mind their own business and beat the Ravens 16-13, in overtime. Then, as fate would have it, the Chargers and Raiders went to overtime. A tie was, in fact, looming, sweating Ben Roethlisberger and the entire town of Steele until Carlson’s 47-yard field run through the uprights in Vegas for the final play of the regular season.

Steelers rookie running back Najee Harris will look to help Roethlisberger extend his career by at least one more game as the 39-year-old veteran quarterback is set to retire at the end of the season. Harris was Big Ben’s best weapon as the rookie led the NFL with 381 total touches. He scored 10 touchdowns in all and rushed for 1,667 yards. He did all that, without fumbling the ball, ever!

The Chiefs (12-5) are back in the playoffs for the seventh straight season and the eighth time in nine years under head coach Andy Reid. Their slow start was well documented as very hot takes flooded the airwaves of sports media. Kansas City quickly quieted those critics as they went 9-1 in their final 10 games of the season.

Patrick Mahomes entered Week 14 already tying his career high with 12 interceptions, but threw just one in his last five games with 12 touchdowns. In what has been a “down year,” Mahomes has consistently posted a 98.5 passer rating.

The Chiefs are heavy favorites by 12.5 points against the Steelers. The over/under is 46. These teams played each other on December 26th. The Chiefs won that game 36-10 in Pittsburgh.

So who wins this leg of the 2022 Super Bowl race?
