2016 AFC Divisional Playoff - PIT @ KC [FULL GAME]

has the tomahawk chop this game was supposed to have started at a little past noon central time so some seven and a half hours later we are ready for the final game of this divisional weekend this is a prediction Derrick Johnson great linebacker who ruptured his Achilles in a game about a month ago so he's armed against the pound to drum before one of the loudest crowds in the league we all know by now if you follow the NFL you've got our head and you have Seattle and they would rank one too you picked the order Jairo Santos will be kicking off for Kansas City so Pittsburgh will get the ball to start and dropping back jeans is Justin Gilbert Sammy coach is also back there they're both inside the 5-yard line and so at the moment it is dry it could rain before this one is over away we go to determine who meets the Patriots next Sunday for the AFC championship from the two yard line this is Gilbert a good run back to begin things out to the 31 yard line as we take a look at the Steeler offense Ben Roethlisberger Miami Redhawks wavy ambu Michigan State Roosevelt mix Kent State University Antonio Brown Central Michigan Eli Rodgers Louisville Jesse James Penn State hungry vanilla United States Military Academy Vermont bolster Tennessee Marquette County latency or hi Daddy Castro Stanford more from Gilbert Lord that line has been tremendous the Steelers giving up a second few sacks in the league this year only Copeland allowed fewer so brockless berger starts out of the shotgun from the 30-yard line and he sucks it off and almost has it kicked off he was trying to get it to bail and Don Terry Poe the guy who threw a touchdown pass here on Christmas fight against Denver the defensive lineman is able to knock it down that would have been some way to start this game on nicely done by Chloe just sees the ball and almost comes up with it we know he can catch the ball we've seen him score a touchdown earlier on a little foot pass he can tack it he can throw it and almost had to pick so second down and 10 from the 30 and the crowd already wreaking havoc with Roethlisberger trying to call the signals there's Ramon foster looking back passing it on to Villanueva as walketh were required and that caught for a six yard gain Antonio Brown who had one hundred and six receptions this season second only to Larry Fitzgerald of the Cardinals third down Ben Roethlisberger has had a lot of success against the Kansas City Chiefs six starts five and one and is rating his highest against any team that he has started against at least three times third and three course those numbers include that five TV performance in the week core back in Pittsburgh Roethlisberger fires and that's quite a forward progress will met the first sound my rockers makes the catch Eric Berry in on the stop first out [Applause] one of the things you have to worry about is this guy right here coming back after the injury just in Houston and lady on bail as good a receiver as he is what's the highest priority make sure bin is still standing so he can throw the football the others going without a huddle again foster looking back the fake [Music] Jesse teams taking it to the 45-yard line he's done better and better as the years progressed Parker makes the tackle another Pittsburgh first down and Roethlisberger going to catch this ball and get it out of his hand that is a big departure from the days of let Ben beep in right when he would sit back and hold the ball and bodies all around him and he didn't care and now they're catching it and throwing it you're going to see the same thing out of the Kansas City Chiefs tonight two major departure you saw Mike Conlon can't be here never have a losing season trying to get into the championship game here Roethlisberger that shoulder Jake once again fired wide open making the catch at the 30 yard line again it's Jesse James Heath Miller retired the ladarius screen had been brought in from San Diego but he has been on the show much of you and injuries 16 yard game let's talk about this offensive line for a moment this group has really gelled into one of the top pass blocking offensive line in all the National Football League if they don't get more pressure than this on Ben Roethlisberger this thing will be over quickly [Applause] Fiddler's opening drive began at their own thirty so they've moved 40 yards in five plays lazy on delve into six let's take a look at the Chiefs defense our team new year Rocha for the myth I'm sorry whole myth first own myth to the state Justin Houston George Karen Smith Rota state universe Renee block George D for our University Martin Peters West Oakland California Harry Barry Tennessee Ron poker goober - Steve Nelson or the state university they're very happy of course to have his Houston back even heard a good part of the season second and four [Applause] that patience has become so probably some stories told about him and how different he is to the 14 yard line first down now here's what's going on here Ron Parker their typical back in the middle of field safety they're so worried about Le'Veon Bell in coverage they're bringing him down as a linebacker but now you've got to deal with Marquis bouncing blocking on Ron Parker and that's not a good matchup first out at the 13 yard line well again threats his way to the 4-yard line you look at this Chiefs defense they were 24th in the league not very good in terms of yardage allowed but when it comes to points allowed they were seven which is terrific boy that was a powerful pair of double-team blocked up front by this offensive line they're dominated second to everything the Chiefs that such a disparity is they had a ton of takeaways hooded eight in the Red Dog I could use one here second down and two [Applause] the cost to the outside then on a moon throws corner of the endzone it incomplete secondaries does its work pass intended for Le'Veon Bell third and reduce well there's no question that star on the defense for the Chiefs Marcus Peters they're turned over the coverage to the inside but it was just the juice from the pass rusher that ended up with the coverage on the outside to made the difference Steelers now go 5 wide [Applause] and next rockers and he had stopped short of the first down so report down at about a yard Ron Parker makes the tackle and they started to send in the field goal group and now they bring them back nicely done out here on the top by Ron Parker no pick whatsoever out of the slot if they could have gotten just the slightest rub probably would have scored and now the Chiefs take a timeout it looked like a fire drill that the Chiefs called a timeout they were running guys off and on the steelers started by sending their field goal unit out then they brought them back in the offense stayed out there and the chief said hold on a second let's just take a timeout before the fourth and one think he goes for it or just tries to draw them offside I think it goes for it I mean we know what Mike Tomlin is he's a guy that loves going for the two-point conversions and that's two yards this is nothing this is just a little but this is a sort of aggressive mindset there's Todd Haley the offensive coordinator that represents what Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers are all about this is playoff time you are not conservative in this situation you're playing to win and had a great Drive and here comes the field goal 2's after all that if nothing else at least they got Kansas City to use a timeout so much for all the aggression we thought we would see early on instead of 22 yard field goal attempt Chris Boswell had a good season but this little chip shot here berry to put it down [Applause] Pittsburgh starts by running 11 play five and a half minutes to take the early lead at Arrowhead this divisional playoff game brought to you by Southwest yes the Lopes is nothing to hide that's transparency by the Lincoln Motor Company by rocket mortgage by Quicken Loans push button to get mortgage and buy GE we imagined a better world and then make it real as you look at scenes from the LA Coliseum 50 years ago today Super Bowl 1 there's Lombardi the Packers with the Chiefs 35 to 10 I was there first in my passionate and there was Len Dawson who was the quarterback for Kansas City radio analyst now the great Lenny for the Kansas City Chiefs I work with Lenny for about 10 15 years on inside the NFL simply put not only one of the great players great guys of classy man it's a passing ball take off its feeling to the 20-yard line and this is Paris a tithing taking it out to the 45 yard line so they didn't want to kick it to Tyree kill and turns out to be pretty good for Kansas City anyways we take a look at the Kansas City offense [Applause] Alex Smith University of Utah expensive we're LSU Jeremy Maclin Mizzou Chris Conley Georgia Tahoe Pierce and diligent Travis Kelce Cleveland Heights Ohio Eric Fisher Central Michigan Zach will concede Mitch Morris Missouri long Johnny Douglas McGill University in provincial schwartz count keeps starting near midfield Spence aware is the running back inside the entity picks wolf regina to the 47 yard line as we look at the quarterback Alex Smith several years in San Francisco then here with Andy Reid four years ago only one pick in 186 post season passes five games that was like Ryan pushing his last year's game at Houston Kansas City routed it every Hill is now in the backfield and I'll give it to them on a sweet and he'll look for room and breakfast way for a Versailles gang tackle that's a 41-yard line and forget about being an ex back or an X Factor is somebody you don't expect everybody knows about this guy now Tyree kill and one of the things that you have to do if you're going to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers is try to get outside of them forever this defense has been predicated upon the idea that those outside linebackers are going to set that hard edge they're going to keep everything in-between so when you've got two speedster out there like Tyreke he'll only plays about 35 snaps a game there he comes a much bigger job [Applause] from the 41-yard i'm very many presents though the fact that pittsburgh didn't want to kiss the floor the pocket throws travis county tremendous season tight end he'll be going to the Pro Bowl stop by Sean Davis they take its out of the twenty in a first down one of the things that you're going to get with Travis Kelce is the guy who plays tight in but plays it like a wide receiver we just saw the inside linebacker Ryan shazier trying to read the eyes of Alex Smith Alex Smith is a veteran quarterback he is going to look at that zone defense look where he's not throwing it and then come back to the receiver beautifully done they're close to their fat receiver this season caught 85 halfway through the opening quarter the city's indifferent drive over the middle has taught by tire refills to the 12 yard line he goes you look at his numbers her off the chart here he averaged 11.1 yards per carry 24 carries this season and he caught 61 passes second-most on the team because he really didn't start playing very often until maybe in October I think you have to go back to the days when Randy Boggs first came on to seeing a guy that wasn't bet on a National Football League field is their second better than three [Applause] first and dolmen will be is jeremy lin e former Eagle came over with read when Andy took over four years ago tackled air by RT burns first and gold I get the feeling the Jeremy Maclin might end up being a pretty big factor in this game he had a groin injury in weeks 10 through 13 and set out but every week since you've seen him with a little bit bigger role so much of this offense is Travis Kelce and Tyree killed if they can add a third element a third wide receiver to that mix tonight it is going to be huge for Andy Reid bill in the backfield Pittsburgh the only team to to allow the first drive touchdown this season and then in the playoffs they do as Albert Wilson makes the catch for the touchdown boy was that a good-looking Drive they took over at the 45 they run two runs and four passes to take the early lead you have Tyreke hill as the decoy gear fake away the entire defense goes that way and then as the I position the tailback position you have a wide receiver and Albert Wilson who simply just out maneuvers the young defensive back Artie burns tyro Santos for the extra point let's go quick to put it down [Applause] and we are often running in Kansas City he's scoring on its opening possession 7/3 [Music] you don't have to miss a moment of tonight's game with the NBC sports athlete locks the games anywhere live on your laptop tablet and connected TVs change the city expecting a big ice storm but most of the storminess was south of here right now it's exactly at the freezing mark 32 degrees or Santos to kickoff Gilbert was out of there Pittsburgh will begin to drive the 25 yard line with 609 remaining in the opening quarter Tyreke kill makes the difference even when he doesn't touch the ball watch when he goes this way with the face it's going to open up wide receiver Albert will sit for 101 right out here against hardy burn and no mass so far in this game pyrene Hill they're not kicking to him and that fake got field well here is Bell he gets stuffed at the line of scrimmage lady on Bell missed the first three games this season suspended violating the substance abuse policy then they kept them out of the last game of the season because it meant nothing Todd Haley coming back as the offensive coordinator done a great job with his offense over the last five years was the head coach here oh nine through 11 that fired for the end of the eleventh season after 13 games got into the playoffs in fact the last time a playoff game was played here Haley was the code so they lost to Baltimore second and ten Roethlisberger how to protection the fires and complete with brown the closest ideas then grimacing third down is ten defensive coordinator is pops such as plugs about the fact 24th overall turn from yardage allowed reports when they had a raksha's up and they did it at my first driving for either the fourth down in the red zone force a field goal instead of a touchdown that's whether 750 points allowed now the advantage goes through these pass rushers the crowd gets cranked up the offensive linemen can't hear as well do you think get a quick jump off the ball we're here they come and ban almost at sack fires be found feel and getting open and making the kacct over his shoulder is an Tonio browse live by the sword and die by the sword they blitz they almost got Ben he hangs in there that fires downfield through his go to receiver as you'll see you will not believe what you're about to see out here Justin Joosten is one on one an outside linebacker one-on-one against arguably the best receiver in the game give them a little credit at least to get them on to crown the Blitz didn't work they paid a heavy price from the 23-yard line that's a gain of 52 [Applause] and behind Jesse James the pass intended for the tight end it will be second down [Applause] there is the Blitz they're going to bring everybody after Ben Roethlisberger everybody comes on but this side it looks like it's going to happen tom motley could not grab the foot has been lifeless Berger if you don't get him on the Blitz then it's going to get you Provost I might succubus safety Terrence Mitchell second down and ten [Applause] the sparkline py rogers second year at a Louisville we he's been coming on just what the Steelers need is another good receiver huh pretty amazing how they just continue to develop these young receivers so Eli Rodgers has been tremendous Kobe Amazon we've seen make the plays the Marcus Ayers his deep developing over they all baked play you know what Amos Bryant was suspended all year Wheaton got hurt 37 for the 20 at all looking back to then way clock at five now at one and they just to get it off in the past of the outside to see hi intended for Antonio Brown fourth and seven that's too badly this throws between Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown on this Drive you don't see that in a must really Antonio Brown was wide open and that was going to be a first down two bad ones and one terrific one for 52 yards to set up a 38 yard attempt here for Chris Boswell and Boswell is 2 for 2 the 350 left remaining in the opening quarter Chiefs by one their receivers outside linebackers coach Billy Porter he was arrested last Sunday night I thought a pittsburgh bar Steelers put him on indefinite leave following the incident and he was reinstated by the team on Friday obviously here tonight and so Michelle we'll have more on that right after the kickoff here you can I refill standing in the end zone they kick the way from the last time and the Chiefs were able to start a drive at the 45 yard line and go all the way for this time is going to have a chance buzzing from the one-yard line a great fabric there that is this Williams different 98 is not on my watch this Williams was rocketing down the field a linebacker that no way is he's a fastest guy on this kickoff cover team and yet he was the first one down to field you talked about passion from a veteran player the Steelers are putting a lot of their first line players on special teams tonight he plugs at Tyreke Hill because of Hill because they've had a lot of problems on special teams especially coverage complete he gets around bill goes in motion to speedy one [Applause] directing traffic a field mashup completed we go to Michelle well Joey Porter's arrest led to multiple charges including aggravated assault on Friday the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office announcing it review surveillance video of the incident and intended to drop all the two of the charges misdemeanor disorderly conduct and public drunkenness and Porter was reinstated as you said any further discipline by the team or the league will depend upon the outcome of the ongoing legal proceedings out all right Thank You Michelle Joey Porter linebacker outside linebacker folks playing with the Steelers for a number of years made his mark on the field the 12 yard line it will shovel pass and that is OC up to the 25 yard line he goes well they got a lot of great little razzle-dazzle plays kind of all year long so here's what they're doing they're going to unbeliev this guy unblocked bring Kelsey around and Tyreke he'll rip and across there is going to leave a huge hole for this little shovel pass inside mr. taking James Harrison it's basically the best way to play and maybe leave him unblocked and use the razzle-dazzle to get around you ready to go to love his playbook and after years just category offense first and 10 here the fourth quarter the 25-yard line [Applause] where especially where a very interesting story in so many ways make Jamaal Charles was the guy but he's been heard for the better part of the last two years so where this year led the team in rushing with 921 yards and in receiving he averaged 13.5 yards per reception he led the team in average per catch and that's something you almost never see out of a running back warmer quarterback and high school great baseball player Alex Smith he said he understands what I'm seeing on my jock second down to his dentures the inside go to church and request and we have a flag first one of the game so we can tell you a Karl Jeffers is the referee Old English Karl number 61 offense 10-yard penalty second down always good when you can introduce the referee like 13 minutes into a game isn't it it is wonderful it is tremendous Andy Reid that makes this decision a little bit tougher here though but so far I tell you the thing that's been impressive so far in this game for me is the play of Alex Smith he is known for being a quick release quarterback right we talked about it all the time it gets the ball out of his hands as quickly as possible well Mike Tomlin on the cooler side according to Andy Reid says that he knows Tomlin reads the quarterbacks eyes so so far in this game we've seen Alex Smith look away and then throw back to a second target trying to take advantage of that technique the part of the great chess game play Clockers a few second and 16 mrs. crossed out was out of bounds this barely flag on the play Harrison James Harrison came in and hit Alex Smith at the end [Applause] ineligible man downfield is the initial call as scheffers looks at Tomlin ineligible offensive player downfield number 76 that penalty is declined we're going to play third down the runt is Varna II forgive me right gourds there you go one of the things this the Pittsburgh Steelers going to do is come out and jam superstar tied in Travis Kelce and you saw on that one Alex Smith looked there first Harrison was hitting Kelsey and there goes Tyreke Hill right down the middle of the field nobody saw him at all so if he had gone Kelsey back the hill we've got six points on the fourth third and 16 that hill on a screen and his getup ended well shy of the first down by RT burns and we will have our first punt of the game well you're going to see some odd formation here's the big trips here on the outside and the simple reason they just want to get the ball in the hands with high refill one of the fastest players in the NFL and give him a chance to do all that kick returning he does so well speaking to kick returning Antonio Brown is back for Pittsburgh Dustin Colquitt whose father on a couple of Super Bowl rings hunting for the Steelers back in the 70s bulgor and hold in by browse at the 28 yard line 48 seconds left in the quarter 7 to 6 can decision well she has the power to change the world and rewrite history in this week's heat meets the great Harry Houdini timeless is the name of the show returning tomorrow 10:00 Eastern the Pacific 9:00 central and mountain on NBC and the city on this Sunday night 48 seconds the ball is at 29 well tell you what how's this for the start of an encore to that other game huh rickety palace we're saying how how could you top that well - it took star tonight as Roethlisberger is going to take it himself the 33 now Ben last week was at a walking boot at the end of the game ever he got injured at the end of the game against Miami heard his ankle he told us last night he thought originally it was his shoulder but they had an MRI was an old foot fracture he came off the injury report and he's fine though he was in the boot until you've got the MRI and they told him he was fine took the day off the practices that I never practiced on that robot rule about nothing apparently as usual second thousand six from the 33 Le'Veon Bell dinging and threading his way for what thanks he first met honestly anything down to the end of the quarter line judge comes in looks like he's going to spotted a little shy which would mean a wee third down and one losing in the second quarter head to 176 Kansas City and this divisional playoff game for Meredith continues after these messages material courage being brought to you by Geico down upon Union Station you can fit the old train depot some people like the Rockets out of town on a rail and that would be the destination or at least origination point third and one as we start the second cooler from the 38 yard line the handoff here goes to fell for a first down you know you look at the history of these two teams pittsburgh has won six Super Bowls been date Kansas City has been two to one one but they have been to 147 years it kind of in a stepchild through the years you know they really have and you've got to feel like that Alex Smith and company and Andy Reed hasn't won a Super Bowl yet he's been to all those played all fame what this would mean to come in against a franchise like the Pittsburgh Steelers and win this one in Arrowhead whether this game the Foxborough next weeks and with the Patriots here goes Dell with hard running out to home local interview to the 49 yard line partner takes them down there it will be second down in the 1f working at nine this really thought that it ever gets out of whack not running the ball enough but this is an unusual play for the Pittsburgh Steelers pulling Alejandro Villanueva from the left side typically they're pulling is from the Castro and Marcus Gilbert on the right a little bit of a new look ain't Henry Bill he's making that famous that that hesitations cuz it just bursting through the whole running it up in there hard he waits he waits and then he goes and the double double team that's why I end up calling this thing you get double teams and double teams and then he just waits and he's poor linebackers stacked behind his double team sometimes they can't even see Le'Veon Bell that patient has become his trademark and something I'm going to gents a lot of high school and even younger just start trying to do eight carries 47 yards fell again another seven yards and he likes himself that the Steph Curry of the Warriors say I'm not comparing myself to Steph Curry in terms of what he's investable but he said I could kind of change the way things are done much as you know curry has every guy you know she's 40 put three-pointers and Mike Tomlin into debating this week then okay Steph Curry you better lead us to the NBA championship second and three already 54 yards on the ground who fell and have been frozen at his spot and his brown to the 29 yard line for a sealer first down but now you're starting to see the dealers as they've been in the second half of the season you go play-action fake now you get the one-on-one matchup on the outside with Antonio Brown against Marcus Peters the quick throw this has been much more the Steelers look in the second half now they flank bell apps back on the right side you got felon Brown over there into the backfield first down from the 31 to come only a two-man rush and ninth back it is jumped off the Jesse James who takes it to the 23 yard line on the killer beez modern version then this year 31 completions of 120 yards downfield second most dirty defenses most in that category dell 157 scrimmage or third highest in history and brown for 81 since 2013 motion entacle history over a four season span and they have put up some phenomenal mumbles second and four [Applause] the office burger throws and missed on Hamilton have to come back the big tour to the first down by a yard third and long you better be careful those late throws the outside against these Kansas City Chiefs that one had a little bit of a chance visibly for I believe that was Marcus Peters out there then gets him to the line of the hurry didn't want Kansas City substituted defensively and his Bell again it's about hesitation to find that crease and pick up a first down at the 17 yard line you know that's really the Keane plan I thought we would see out of the Steelers tonight this has been pretty much a decimated front or the Kansas City Chiefs this year Derek Johnson their old world inside linebacker J Howard Allen Bailey the starters they have now been on 3rd and 4th string guys that linebacker a defensive end for bunch of this season and yet they still keep people out of the inside then try to wear that a little bit on this drive disparate one six plays and the kinks of run 11 and walking for requires only old Brown and I can't he can't make the catch Marcus Peters something to bust it up it will be second down roll ball or Marcus Peters going against the whole world Antonio Brown and watch on the back end here as Marcus Peters get his hand and at the last possible moment this was the catch Antonio Brown has the ball and Peter's just wrestled it down there got his arm in there and pulled it out great play by Peters who has 14 interceptions over his two-year career eight last year six this season about hesitating go to the slip as well Eric very consistent CP spot good not completely clear down to the level baby here we go Eric Paree is going to come right out of center field not even on your screen here at the beginning of this place wise up there we've seen what he's done in coverage this year remarkable play but they knew Eric berry would have to make the plays like that is the line of scrimmage against Le'Veon Bell this is the 13th play of a drive their opening drive at 11 play third and 11 [Applause] Roethlisberger step it up fire event incomplete Bell says where's the flag he thought he was felled by repeat Wilson said it's a fourth and 11 and it comes another field goal attempt here to try to make it 9 7 or nearly that's the kind of matchup you're looking for right there lay beyond Bell is good a receiver as there is in the game right now but repeat Wilson who filled in behind Derek Johnson and behind Justin March Lillard at that linebacker position nicely got 36 yard attempt Boswell trying to go 3 for 3 [Applause] which he does the Kansas City better give up a lot of yards but level a lot of points develop the three field goals so it's nine seven Pittsburgh this divisional playoff brought to you by Verizon joined a better network because better matters by Geico that the administered save you 50% on car insurance by Chevrolet the most awarded car company two years in a row and by TD Ameritrade six Super Bowl titles for the 70s and then one of 2005 won a 2008 revenge game in campus whether the two towers versus 2005 team at the stadium's I fill looks younger than he did 2005 and that's what coaching does here you look great the reason you say no employers right behind a penalty right stick off down into the end zone I wrinkled by 18 to the hat nine seven spirits roger goodell the Commissioner of the NFL was in Atlanta yesterday here tonight just paying a visit to we're talking about Bill Cowher is here Clark Hunt was with him a moment ago the man whose father founded the American Football League 1960 this team started of course in Dallas for three years as the Texans and came here in 63 for the 25 yard line has stacked three receivers to the right side the paint the blow water dispenser we're trying to get something going on the ground as we go to the show well Arthur most devote his time and resources to the raw McDonald House Charities of Pittsburgh with regular visits and fundraising and he was recently named to the organization's board of directors just one of the many reasons most explorers nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year presented by nationwide which will be awarded Super Bowl weekend at the annual NFL honors fair look forward to that Thank You Michelle is you look at moats third season with the team have sex in 2016 second down and seven from the 28-yard advances thought of seals as he picked up the first habit of so dance there and they will spot it mmm about that lines games while shepridge is going to go over to take a closer look those are the officials sticks on the far side of the field and it is the first time [Applause] a pirate he'll becoming a bigger and bigger and bigger Florida somnus I've fallen a little bit in their game last week that I reek Hill is as good without the ball if he is with the pole you have to do so many things to make sure that guy does not get outside on your defense then and all that attention opens up other opportunities external offensive linemen from readers of the game here and then run the place a mess it is he throws the ball off of the interest picked off at the 45 yard line Ryan shazier comes up with a budget and three came in Smith got chard as he released it and Dupree forces the interception bud Dupree has simply been red-hot of late he is finally fulfilling exactly what they thought he could be as an outside linebacker they bring in the extra offensive lineman JA Reed and it was bud Dupree who beats them cleanly around the edge and there is the break that the Pittsburgh Steelers have been looking for or stays here that is four interceptions in his last four games the last two in the regular season had one last week has one tonight and so since bringing out his arms so he may have paid a price on that as well where you bring in the extra offensive lineman you think you're going to protect your quarterback get it out quickly it throw that kind of interception when a quarterback get hit go figure for the 44 now Roethlisberger delay methacel del picks up nine more yards so Phil already tonight on a dozen carries has picked up 65 yards well you see some real mobility out of David de Castro the top end guard over here on the right hand side anytime he can get out in front that time gets a little shot on posed and gets down the field against the linebacker and then it's the patient of lay beyond bell - throw on top to the center we'll be going to the Pro Bowl [Music] the first man who picks up leaving on bail actually they hope they're not going to the Pro Bowl they were named to it but if you'd rather play into Super Bowl look at the patient's here you're going to talk about lay beyond Bell come here and just sit watch him just sit behind this double-team yeah no one every high school coach in the country before they saw a lady on bail would have gone crazy what do you do it tippy-toe it into the hole and yet he's been is an art form might get to college in the NFL sue the way he's going [Applause] for the 31 on this river that compensated to the 5-yard line the Jesse James has already caught four passes for 60 yards tonight first and goal Pittsburgh they're going to fake the quick screen out the Antonio Brown everybody comes flying up and then Jesse James instead of blocking turns up the field it comes up with a big play from the 5:40 213 yards seen by the Steelers and a quarter ahead they depict off it is [Applause] you've gotten eric parrey coming up with a huge interception created by frank Zambo so exactly what happened the Kansas City business the Steelers and the ball comes out to the 20-yard line [Music] clean up review the ruling on the field is he infirm the interception team players and you never bring the ball out of the end zone it is respect back so that's Eric Perry the ball touches the ground but he has control of it all the way through control there that at the end the ball touches the ground but that is legal so the interception for Eric Perry fans and the Chiefs take over the 20 and if you're wondering about any sort of safety anything like that remember that Barry would have had to have gotten the entire football across the outside of that goal line and then brought it back to had any kind of issue whatsoever he clearly did not thought about it and thought better for the 20 now Alex dispenser we're and we're bringing two three second down and seven the other unusual part about that play it probably was some sort of a hot because otherwise Alejandro Villanueva would have gone right out there there's ombo and tried to chop them at the knees so he could you get up in the air to make that kind of a play so I'm guessing it was one of those automatics on the part of Ben Roethlisberger trying to get it out - Antonio Brown nobody else may have even known about it neither here that the way and that's Pudsey free really come on it Center for Kyrie killed plus as we second here is the number one grant was out of Kentucky last year he is really like the rest of this defense picked it up week after week yeah and the instincts that we're starting to see he never even rushed the quarterback on that one he went straight out to the stream but remember here's a guy that missed so much of training camp he had groin surgery he didn't come back until his first step was week 11 and since then he has been simply sensational third said about a little right you are they clock at two [Applause] takes away hosannah ten complete try to get a dispenser where who put forward in along the sidelines fourth down and coal food comes in to punt Oh Alex bet there's going to be six they had the nose tackle Javon Hargrave on a zone blitz type thing out in coverage against Spencer where his top receive running back and they missed it good play by Smith to get away but they had a chance for a big one the Brownback to return the punt Colquitt with his second punt versus 43 yards [Applause] and he gets it away short kick round 239 trying to get around a quarter and brings it back to just about six filled with 503 remaining of a hand nine seven Pittsburgh it's a phrase you've heard a million times bent don't break and no better example in this team 24th in yards allowed per game but allowing only 19 points per game so the history of the league it's the most yards allowed per game among the more than thousand teams to allow less than 20 points part of that of course the 33 takeaways the most pixely the most fumble recoveries in the league first team to lead the league is both categories buddy Ryan's Eagles back at 89 the first time these three came they broke and they've been common for anybody from the 45-yard line well fixes the building here's Dell the first time these teams met we wish to stun tonight it's week four were in Pittsburgh it's 22 to nothing at the end of the quarter it's 29 nothing of the ham how's that for the ratings huh yeah tell me tell a lot of stories back actually this but it really I think in some ways change what they're doing on the defensive side was Bob Sutton and Andrew rate they went a little more conservative on that side of the ball and just decided hey let's keep the ball in front of us see what happens if we match up don't let him in the end zone exactly as they've got here tonight second today [Applause] fires low throw by Brown and then he runs into the Chiefs page with their scoop it up be third down and five the heck of a catch plug a tremendous down and all through round I tell you there aren't this guy can do everything a you can dance to we saw him on you know the answer was sparse we have dancing in the end zone just one of the great players in the league one of the great smiles a guy you love being around Rufus are pretty amazing celebrations as well some of which can put the penalties over to pretty cool third out of four they clock at one [Applause] afford a flat to lay a game here he is yep it's going to be a delay the way of being okay your family Lockwood's is zero and then take a look in it there it was and it's very cool [Applause] remember the mechanics of that for that back judge he's looking at the clock if he sees it go to zero and then dropped his eyes and sees the ball not snap it's a foul sometimes it goes to zero and the time between when he's looking at the clock and looks down can actually work the offensive favor yeah good point if you see that a lot look at the clock at zero and with it why wasn't there a flag at that time we looked up double zero and give it the bell on the third pick up the first down more before we get a little white piece now see how many centers you see feeds away but of course this is why the spread goes to the Pro Bowl almost every year at the University of Florida obviously a great athlete if he leads the way out in front of Lavy on bail here and now the Steelers are back into the mode that they do best when lay beyond Bell is taking over with the running game then you see the rest of this thing come to life what they've done his caries went from 17 to about 47 after that Dallas law a 30-7 would fix the full-back in the game is beautiful to watch Nick's helping to lead the way the full-back second year at a Kent State gain of six second floor okay we've been having a little fun what does maybe on style reminds you of well if you're old enough you remember the old game quarter and that's kind of what it looks like he just sort of slowly worked his way to the next level then to the next level and dances around and you go come on maybe on run and then it by the end of the game Rodgers got about 200 yards at his classic Fricka deadly come up with some fantastic graphics and that laid me on bail he is close to a hundred yards tonight that is a hundred on 17 carries two-minute warning at Arrowhead nine seven Pittsburgh [Music] coming up throughout a half I'm names only embody back in her studio on the first that case you haven't heard back repeated countless because it you've heard 3431 unbelievable game Aaron Rodgers postgame Reax all coming your way on the Toyota Netz top first and ten with two minutes to go in the hand two-point lead to the Steelers fall into 25 [Applause] he gets corralled after a walk 18 carries 101 yards for baby on bail and one of the things that appears to be happening here al it looks like the Steelers offensive line is starting to take over a bit I thought it might be very difficult for the inside linebackers and these defensive linemen and the chief to hold up to this offensive line of lavr fell all night we'll see how it goes along that was a good first down top though gives it a chance here this purple runs 40th play the piece of run 17 second and nine [Applause] he has much of the passion game delight Terry the ball goes a common time for me Wilson make the tackle this timeout taken here on Thursday two weeks from today hockey goes Hollywood and a joke all-star games the home of the Kane Staples Center coming your way and until all-star game Sunday January 29th right here on in the to the 106 to play in the head it's third down and 12 have a time to the jinx right here Chris Jones a fitness crowd fired up during the break number 95 he needs to play not much so far tonight [Applause] third and 12 yards on four-man rush Roethlisberger prior flying past and incomplete and again looking for a flag at Eli Rodgers here please none Boswell will have to come in and pick a fourth field goal to get some Pittsburgh points is Rogers and Roethlisberger both look up at the board and say come on it's their interference no Chris Jones though it's not there's the tipped pass so everything that goes on after that is absolutely by the rules so Chris Jones got the crowd fired up then got a little piece of the ball and big play just enough this is a 45-yard field goal attempt [Applause] Boswell has accounted for all of the scoring dealers five possessions floor field goals most invented to go back in 30 seconds 2017 Provo comes your way presented by aqua pink January the 29th back to the good old format AFC NFC Robo skills showdown Thursday January 26 on ESPN the killer bees how they doing tonight well Roethlisberger 141 the one pick Bell already over a hundred yards and brown with four catches for 72 but the Kansas City defense keep it up in the game because Pittsburgh 246 yards they're in a piece for 500 yards tonight but haven't been in to the end zone yeah I've been really impressed it's really how they've made their living this season ranked fifth the red zone simply because of what they've done tonight they don't allow touchdown three sports so give a little credit to those guys are hanging in now they need a little help for the opposite side so 55 seconds Casey is one time on so get the ball and they will get the second hand kick off as well the hills way he does he had the green light he responds to six yards in after the 50 so again very good coverage by the Steelers on a couple of his run back Jordan games feels maybe tackle well expenses done a nice job on lease on that opening drive watch him look off these linebackers get Ryan shazier to move and then come back to Travis Kelce they've got to get back to some of that that is the thing that has been working so well on that opening drive and they've gotten away from it here they've had a few penalties they've had a few issues let's see if Alex Smith can put together another drive like that opener tips and a punch where's the interception with this and we've been across now he's gonna come again caught on the outside with us until he gets bottled look at the 20-yard line second down let's go - hustle up there only one timeout left for Kansas City and Alex that's going to the hard count out trying to get the Steelers to show that blip wahoo Hill in the slot on the left side [Applause] that is not complete Chris Connolly was out of bounds and behold it is Ross cockerel with a flag on the play was hovering on there's no foul roughing the passer hundred fifteen people for contacting the quarterbacks helmet 15-yard penalty automatic first down so they call that on she's here with 20 seconds remaining in the half give a little credit to Spencer where for stepping up and making the block and then shazier had to reach out and try and get him just hit him right in the face easy call so a year before the game 32 degrees is not without a shirt that's nothing he was out without a shirt last week in Pittsburgh when it was 17 Florida kid or body like that a shirt I hope you thanks up for the 35 [Applause] looks again he got Ericsson to come across the wine and hopefully their clothes start though they III authorized it five-yard penalty first down Zack Fulton now he went about two or three hard count that time until finally got back home to don't got to get up outside it's really an effective tool when you're at home and the crowd is out of it on the offensive side because if the Steelers tip the Blitz now Alex Smith can change the protection and take a shot down the field I think counting on coastal penalties this year I believe we have two games here person Santino [Applause] and that's incomplete dropped at the 43-yard line Gary Mackin took it down they got him to show the hard count any news that Ryan shazier was going to go all the way across the field here and Alex has tried to get it out just going to make the catch so some good quarterback play going on for Andy Reid but they have to execute the plays afterwards second and 15 category West are complex miss in the back here [Applause] they drafted and it's recovered by Pittsburgh at the 41 yard line but by the time this burg gets possession of the bull there's only three seconds remaining but that's enough of course for one number seven to throw the ball into the end zone and request just trying to reposition the ball lost it and you assume I don't know we're even going to try a field goal that long would it be about 58 yards and so far this year Boswell over to 50-plus [Music] and city only 17 turnovers during the regular season they've already had two in the game tonight Diego I would take my chances of a Pittsburgh with Roethlisberger throwing a Hail Mary as opposed to Boswell making a 50-yard field goal what are you I would to Boswell's long as career is 51 it's cold out here you don't expect that ball to carry now it would not surprise me to see them try to go some kind of a hard count and see if they can get the Chiefs defensively to jump all sides and steal that five yards the other thing too is you can have a run back on the with Tyree Hill back there so if it sure you might have a run back do I get all kinds of action along the offensive front as you can see the slow first charge Pittsburgh a 30-second timeout you didn't know what that have the special teams honor your defense or whatever yeah and I'm not so sure the sight of tyree kill back there may not alter the strategy I'm with you I mean think about what you have out there you have about eight offensive linemen a couple of tight ends a kicker and a holder do you really want Tyree killed going and I think that my time there and Erie's is understood what was going on and then Mike Tomlin responded appropriate he did and he sense Roethlisberger there's one of the best special teams coaches ever Dave Toback Sulli was interviewed by the Broncos and the Chargers within the past week for the head coaching position got neither but in Chicago and painted City he is the magnificent work over a decade a half Travis Kelce the tight end it is going to the chief [Applause] tonio Brown listen 11 yard line fire so the only touchdown of the half belongs to Kansas City but the lead belongs to Pittsburgh 12:7 Steelers of the break coming up next - at a half-time these messages from your NBC station [Music] Simmons first-half highlights are brought to you by Chevrolet [Music] in cages it even ice the chief battle of Pittsburgh Steelers in this AFC divisional playoff game oh baby here we go Albert Wilson makes the catch for the touchdown boy was that a good-looking Drive then gets hit as he throws picked off Ryan Shay [Applause] [Music] Chevrolet the most awarded car company two years in a row well seven Pittsburgh leading Kansas City winner of the game on to Foxborough next Sunday to face the Patriots for the AFC Championship so then Roethlisberger tonight 170 yards through the year that one interception of the deflection 14 of 23 overall lay beyond Bell over the 101 rushing yards second-most in the first half of the Pittsburgh kosygin James Franco Harris holds that mark Antonio Brown tying the record held by Larry Fitzgerald fourth consecutive playoff game with a hundred or more receiving yards he's already the triple figures and the KC defense were talking about all the yards they allow how few points they allow Payson point begin tonight 275 allowed and 12 points allowed no touchdowns for field goals Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City and they had a ship I saw of the sheets this morning but right now whether holding 33 degrees who had no precipitation and Kansas City will reveal the second half kickoff and Pittsburgh special teams coverage you to doing a very good job on the two kicks to Tyreke tonight [Music] Boswell's accounted for all the scoring for the Steelers sending it back toward Hill third quarter underway at Arrowhead Hill is gonna let me come back in the six some blocking out of closet slips and down he goes at the 24 yard line from there Tyree kill who's been so explosive this season for the Kansas City chief here's a lot as a decoy in that first half you take him out there hit the ball - Kelsey inside make it to him running why go glute lake back the other way for the touchdown and then there he was wide open on the one play that the Kansas City Chiefs had a chance to break one an Alex hesitantly those building I think I've ever seen person runs a fourth floor what is in lotion 24 yard line sack has to get it away before he goes down and it will be second down pressure put on by Stefan suet that's been now step on to it right out here who really has become the main man up front for the Pittsburgh Steeler says Cameron Heyward was injured at the pectoral issue and there's Eric Fisher who's been hanging in there pretty good so far against James Harrison and James Harrison the number one sacker amazingly at age 38 on this pittsburgh steelers pink look at their officials on up on a wall graphic these two NFL that the tackle here by being terrible still rolling along James Harrison what a career he's had talked to a couple of folks last night is he a Hall of Famer maybe you know I mean he's won two Super Bowl championships I mean there is no more exciting or dramatic plays in Super Bowl history and his hundred yard interception return of course if you're a Giants fan when David Tyree with that catch there Santonio home was made a catch in that same game against Arizona but a hundred yards at the end of a head on another steps and run back Kurt Warner there's the RT showed on that return I think pretty much told it all about his a lot of traffic and it's incomplete and the crowd wants a flag but we'll get one and send it for Travis Kelce and they have done a good job on Kelsey tonight holding him to two catches well if Kelsey sort of stops and drives back hard into the ball he probably gets this Paul he tried to the Cockrell ends up getting there just a little bit early in reality that is interference means and that's why you hear all the bullying this would just replay that on the big screen Dustin Colquitt is there punt of the night at the point [Music] [Applause] the pic field of the point to brown it's hot side by Albert Wilson back at the 25-yard line every bit before yard hoot Michele Tafoya back in Kansas City and after being held at for field goals in the first half I asked my problem how can you get the end zone he said just keep doing what we're doing nothing new no new plays no new concepts keep doing what we're doing and do it better I'm not going to make up something that isn't there now - Heather top Michelle levy on bail patient running fails in the focus for the Chiefs defense all week with Justin Houston telling me the worst thing we can do is wait if we do he'll make us miss so far the Chiefs haven't been able to execute the game plan with bail running for over a hundred yards in the first half all right Heather here his bail he's got a lot more here look at him off to the races again before it's drag I'm going and drag down to 36 you're really close to the linebacker runs them down finally and that is a gain of 38 yards to the 36 yard line this line is getting displaced these double teams are moving guys back so these linebackers just can't find a spot to come through there and lay beyond bail is so slow to the hole it's giving this bigger better offensive line for Pittsburgh a chance to displace and move the defensive line of the chase 167 yards on the ground last week against Miami it looks like the plane is older and he goes to the 30-yard line again waiting and waiting and seeing what develops out in front of them I kind of gain is six he now is 145 yards tonight watch him skip I mean this is what you do down the sidewalk that's wait all right tango all right let's give pallfy a little chicken run through I have never seen it I've talked to a hundred people this week and asked them about that running South they all say the same thing I've never seen their works get some the Zuma's it's not over mine second and four from the 30 [Applause] crazy to watch isn't it though so first now you know what ditch think though is that Mike Tomlin his whole life high school peewee football whatever his whole life everybody told him that he was wrong that he was wrong that running style was wrong Mike Tomlin went up the Scout Kirk Cousins at Michigan State and met him for the first time and watch them on tape and said I love your patient and about knocked Le'Veon Bell over the fact that here's an NFL coach that finally got what he was doing 21 carries tonight he's been a big part of their passing game during the season was tonight only one reception [Applause] and walk with burger throws and I've been complete understand second and ten most rushing yards and the players first two postseason games while Arian Foster then of the Texans at 285 and spell right now 316 and he still has almost a full half to go so much of this story is because of Le'Veon Bell the Steelers keep converting on third down and the Chiefs have yet to convert on third down over 3 in this game dieudonné ratio in plays Pittsburgh is 146 Chiefs have had 23 second and 10 they gave it the bell again [Applause] Gardevoir loosened in on the stop actually done by remiel wilson this time he's going to avoid the block of Marchese Pouncy this is something they have not been able to do much of when it made the place so here they are again the Pittsburgh Steelers is dominant as they've been they have been getting stuck in this end of the field and kicking field goals and basically keeping the Chiefs in this game more field goals and a pick six drive inside the KC 30 third time [Applause] and dumps it off bail unable to get out of the backfield that will set up a fifth field goal attempt for Boswell really remarkable isn't it that Bob Sutton's defense can just do this time after time they've done it all season long and they've really done it tonight out with very little help from the pass rushers we have not seen Holly we have not seen Chris Jones we have not seen just in Houston or deport have much of an impact on this game at all barely pulled any of their names 43 yard ascent and for Chris Boswell he is just time in NFL postseason record five two Eagles done for the 11th time 10:06 to go in the third 15 7 Pittsburgh lecture this week with Jimmy Fallon the great Michael Strahan will be there there is Michael king he is a new Pittsburgh Steeler fan I know he's not pins and needles tonight for Tonight Show with Jimmy called this week on NBC of the 3-yard reduce very good to the 21-yard line Pittsburgh Steelers you go through these last ten seasons or more North American pro sports baseball the NBA NHL none and then you go to Pittsburgh the Steelers Chuck Noll 23 years Bill Cowher 15 Mike Tomlin ten years so you've got three guys who have coached the Pittsburgh Steelers six Super Bowls there is Bill Cowher mention that he was here is also the defensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs back in 1899 he was led to his getting the head coaching job at Pittsburgh excreting falling down dispenser where you know you look at the Steelers three coaches in almost a half century sometime in the near future the San Francisco 49ers will hire their fourth head coach in four years I thought your veterans well no I'm just pointing it out as a fact but I mean you're talking about stability solidness and all of the rest Network no question about it and of course it helps to have three great coaches right I mean all careers OSHA has been Celinda but it's a great tribute to the Rooney family their patients and what do they tell Mike Tomlin all the time just be yourself we hired you for a reason fears oh he's 34 condley and now you get a flag at the 40-yard line [Applause] so will the fans finally get the result they're looking for him Tomlin saying this uncatchable was over his head and then Andy Reed will say it's uncatchable because ross Cockrell pushed them and called scheffers rule let us know momentarily after interference number 31 defense automatic first down literally knocked him off the path of the ball and that was exactly what the Chiefs needed Mike Talman is never going to buy into that when I'm not sure it would have been catchable but he got knocked so far off the path you'll never know oh here we go hmm I went with going to coach him up now this this young secondary and young players in general that Mike Tomlin is developed on this team it made a huge difference in the second half run Sean Davis he's trying to calm down Rockville right now one of those young players but we're back at Seattle for a minute from 238 yards now is the three yard run up the middle here for Spencer's where make it second down and about seven or eight and one of the young guys we've been talking about it's simply a superstar on the outside now his blood to freeze this is a guy that really has had very little training whatsoever but he had that kind of explosiveness at the University of Kentucky and yet you didn't see him finish plays there the way that I thought that he might be able to he's always the best athlete on the field and yet here under Tomlin system under chief Butler the defensive coordinator is starting to fight second down and seven for the 41 [Applause] you know he's about to disastrous to your point the Steelers and defense has always been their hallmark going back to the Steel Curtain years they were old and slow no doubt they were the oldest as you look at their the Steelers defense average age of the starters now they're the 11th youngest building through the traffic started three rookies last week and speed you know youth in speed Ryan shazier one of the fastest linebackers there's already burns very fast out of University of Miami Sean Davis at its speed on the pack and 33 they now are very explosive people third that was great we're who takes them staff that directs antics of the first down lined up in the diamond formation synaptics aware and he picks up the first they just switched positions basically pitcher we're now the quarterback and alex smith the tailback and here they go running a little read option I told you Spencer we're back in Cincinnati if Princeton High School was a option quarterback and showed a little bit of those skills they're halfway through the third quarter by Sean Davis his second attempt just a mystery there by Tyreke Hill he's so fast but it's those little nuances like that they keep him off the field he just had a linebacker sitting inside of them you just have to turn and sort of work away from him he worked back inside Alex Smith had no idea where he's going [Music] and Roethlisberger trying to get to his fourth Super Bowl Saturday [Applause] very close to a first time most guys just going to cut a trot or amble in motion she Sprint's take a look at this al from James Harrison's perspective right here this is going to come so fast across here you either have to take his head off I'll worry about Alex s and it's a second decision and then all of a sudden then they'll bring Kelsey back around and do the little shovel pass this is a great package right now they don't block the outside linebacker and just play games with right yeah Harrison still looking for the number of the license plate third or two at the 39 yard loss it's up on the right slot and now you've got Melissa because of snack the lay of game off a five-yard penalty they're down cannot do that they're finally got themselves on a roll they got the penalty third and two you're down and possibly four down territory if you want to run a twice just a huge mistake [Music] third and seven now back of the 44 the Travis Kelce still with just paint catcher he is typically the go-to guy I have cut off twist to the right in the slot five receivers [Applause] that's enough and there's change Eriksson hits the sack back to the 49 yard line fourth and law I don't know how you beat father time but this guy has at age 38 he's been the best player on the Pittsburgh Steelers defense let's just tell exactly how it is he's their leading stacker he spends three hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year taking care of his body some of the most bizarre acupuncture drive puncture company whatever it is that anybody can put in front of him he does it he's playing for a thousand bucks a day Colquitt spunk and this is going to pin the Steelers very deep so a perfect kick the Spotted of the to 512 to go in the third Harrison gets the sack another 115 seven shillings [Music] that particulars begin this drive from their own two yard line little over five minutes ago in the third we're going to get to trip the Fox bro me to pay for it next Sunday and a chance to go to the Super Bowl NYX is the full-back Bell is the running back and don't think it's truck at the line of scrimmage Brummie collusion 5300 a nice night makes the stop second attempt Ramin Wilson is the one guy who is consistently attacked maybe on bail tonight he just continues to attack the line of scrimmage and has wavy on dances he's often there to make the play now lay beyond valve can't dance too much as you certainly don't want to give up to point and if the kicked in the 20 eight-point game down [Applause] from the team [Applause] and a pullback and their self the birdie moves its amount of the fat loaded Lobos to the 11 yard line and we third and one there's his buddy Roosevelt Nick the big pullback they think he's made a big difference for lay beyond bail he missed six to the first eight weeks with a bad back here's a guy that was the defensive lineman in a good wood in college and now he says oh it's easy to handle 250 pound guys late to play against those 300 pounders all the time third and one from the 11th this time they're going to suck them at the last rivet px dot nor seeing a pumpkin deep in their own territory Zombo links exact on for the first time in the game the Pittsburgh Steelers will have to punt it Chris Jones who may be one of their best defensive players able to stand them up and here nicely done they finally get a little bit of pressure up the middle that was Jarvis Jenkins as well and that blade style didn't work that time and we have seen a lot of chipping has on the outside urinary his first punt of the night and kicks it away from hill and out-of-bounds up there not bad for an angle kick and watch it out who as good as original book 47 yard line of Kansas City three minutes left in the third eight-point game it's divisional playoff game on NBC being rough you buy the 2017 Kia Sorento or more it viacom by Samsung pain turn your phone into your wallet by nationwide nationwide is on your side and by AT&T bullets Green Bay Atlanta and the NFC it's the winland against the winner of this one of the AFC 15 7 is the score pink stork and good field position after a 35-yard cut from the pittsburgh 46 hold on delcie their number-one receiver has not caught a ball since the first quarter those you should have had that one wow this is killer because they've got the matchup they want they have Lawrence Timmons the middle linebacker you can't stay with Kelsey and Kelsey can't hang on give a little credit to Mike Mitchell for coming over with the hit but that was just a drop and that was what they've needed they have basically taken away the two big threat as they did in the first matchup Kelsey and Hill no real factor so far second ten are there five three [Applause] protection the food secondary coverage marine debris yeah he's right there he had more or less McMahon more of Miami in to fight for it back to week four take a look at what they've done with these two guys in the two games it sort of fell a check Ian isn't it they take away the star players on the other team and make somebody else beat them so maybe now Andy Reid needs to say okay if they're going to play those guys tough who else can step up and make a play for me Chris Connolly's made a few in the past Jeremy Maclin I haven't seen the other guys making plays either really they have very little offense because so far yeah go running 47 off your as opposed to 164 for Pittsburgh minutes is going to get a lass up with the blowing dental beforehand against certain others turned out who a time I was taken I have a city and now the officials are coming in saying hold on a second meet Kelsey is actually somebody when the play was over Travis Kelce yes one of the Pittsburgh Steeler players after the place unnecessary roughness number 87 offense 15-yard penalty third down timeout was called like every city he's a hothead he's done it before he got kicked out of the game earlier this year costly penalty here next Saturday Premier League on NBC two great soccer houses collide Manchester City taking on top of 12:30 Eastern Saturday on NGC metal American football and two City third and 20 after that penalty moves back to the 44 yard line [Applause] tremendous tax by Jeremy Maclin right at the marker which should be a first down needed 20 I believe gets 20 as though spotted first down watch how early this hall is grown by Alex Smith about a yard or two before the break and he gets it in how do you convert that one so the huge mistake by Travis Kelce has just been saved by Macklin and Smith what a play we talked about Kelsey and he'll be and the guys they've taken them out you need somebody else to step up and Macklin steps up there Kelsey who was at the last play is back in the ball at the 36 yard line something happening on the left side fourth was let's go back to Kelsey's penalty when he knocked on cold for the ground and remember he's frustrated right he dropped the long pass down the field now you're going to see cockerel just sort of give him a little shove at the end of the play and then stand there great job by cockerel believe me NFL players practice that all the time you mess with a guy you say a little something to give them a little pump and Justin juice to make crazy on the sideline over there if you practice that we've talked about it you can [Music] it was a to thrilled either second down 11 from the 37 hurry thought thereby coverage possibly baskets the penalty 2/3 down at 4 at 13 to 7 yards there you go now they're doing it now they're starting to spread this thing around a little bit more and Andy Reid he knows his tight ends frustrate at this point Tyreke Hills been having a little bit of a tough time so now they're starting to get it to the other guy Jaclyn with a big catch Conley with a big catch wouldn't be surprised to see them engage Spencer we're a little bit out of the backfield dominated by Pittsburgh the numbers little your DEQ's possession it's the one possession game 15 7 third and 4 here at the 31 seconds of the quarter [Applause] we may have one complete Wilson who has stored the games Tony touchdown can't hold in 4,000 for William gate covering on the play playoff time you have to make those plays nightly Jean me clear out with Travis Kelce Amy Ruiz beautifully designed play got them right in behind good throw to catch the ball and turning up one yard the Brazilian Cairo Santos with a 48 yard attempt [Applause] Santos's kick

Night Football we didn't think we that was sudden that I came it's but but we did we're like we should you know that Santos this is a passing ball fielded at the six yard line Sammie Coates will run a fact why the fever by trade back out to the 30-yard line let's go to Heather Allen Alex Smith found out that less than 1% of foster kids graduate college he was motivated to do something about it and

quarterback to the Ben Roethlisberger's of the Congress and the Aaron Rodgers he just wants a shot overall number one draft choice but according Iraq 1005 bill fixes to the 32 and that takes us to the fourth quarter end of three with the score Pittsburgh 15 Kansas City 10 this divisional playoff continues after these messages City tonight aerial coverage being brought to you by Geico Arrowhead Stadium KCl Michaels Chris Collins were in Michele Tafoya Heather Cox with you 15:10 is the score Pittsburgh has a second down and nine as we begin this quarter from their own Eric Paree on the defensive side is their playmakers a lot of people hit here over the middle to the 45 why Rogers worried Pittsburgh for town well Eric Paree here's a guy he thought his career was over maybe he was his life a couple of years ago contracted lymphoma not only overcame it didn't came back last year had a phenomenal year and once again this year he's on to another Pro Bowl made so many huge plays obviously made another one here tonight in this game to basically won the Atlantic game with a few of those plays that he made to return one for a two-point conversion on the defensive side one for a touchdown [Applause] if it around for the 49 and goes to Le'Veon Bell lady on bail by the way with little skirmishes developing for a second there 157 scrimmage yards per game the season that is the third highest in the history of the league number one would be priest Holmes did it for the Chiefs back in Oh two and OJ Simpson would be second with the 75 bills selling you know they're starting to bottle them up a little bit you know he's been dancing but nothing's been popping open here lately like it was earth second and seven for the 48 [Applause] which off-screen set up here that goes to DeMarcus Ayers who makes these property taxes that I use are working they picked them in the seventh round of the University of Houston brother before the practice flawed about a month ago in Kobe Hamilton and lot of guys out there but if Marcus Peters is going to play that far off they're going to go automatic to those screens they simply had them outflanked nice shot by Roethlisberger two recognized third of about a half a yard give it to sell and you neither yard and he will get you that two lunatics 28 carries 166 ground yards forum just so much of this offense is built around David the cache or the pole bowlers nice push off of Chris Jones and then get up to repeat Wilson who's been the guy who's been stopping LaVey on bail on some of those plays we've had one bad game all season long against Philadelphia and Fletcher Cox I thought you about the blind folks by a hall-of-famer Mike Munchak a job he's done with these guys as raucous burger pump fakes fires over the middle and that is caught and that his team who gets unbelievably free it takes you to the 21 yard line right down the middle for Jesse James having a big night five catches for 83 yards that one's good for 23 the dreaded pump fake from Ben Roethlisberger everybody jumped to the underneath coverage because that's where he pumped and then Jesse James wide open in behind it there is nobody in this league that does that pump fake like Ben Roethlisberger I can't believe the ball doesn't come out of his hand doing it for 13 years and for the great rack back to go for with new on running Philip Rivers Roethlisberger the 11th overall pick for the 21 mallet first down because again competing to watch him run to the 1930 second end of the year they're starting to use their defensive lineman and a tighter alignment now trying to clog up those middle rushing lane and then stacking room ich Wilson right in behind see they're kind of not quite the Bears front and then there's Wilson right there so they're trying to keep him clean let him go and Dan back there with Le'Veon Bell and react up and make the play second today for the length team eleven minutes remaining in the fourth brought the burner fires and incomplete over the middle at the goal line Eli Rogers called in frustrated a third name I was some recovery by Steven Nelson the slot corner you had a lie Rogers fake hard inside Nelson got off track and then goes up and then just recovers in time [Applause] lawful purgatory could have had a third and eighth from that I saying [Applause] let's go in the pocket of the bath at the 24-yard line it gets twisted as well so Roethlisberger gets sacked here for town complete coverage sack it was a great job the offensive line blocked long enough down the field they had coverage across the board there's Wilson on Navy on Bell who has to be exhausted by this point as the James covered up nowhere to go and then finally it was D Ford who came first and then Jarvis Jenkins so a 43-yard attentive he makes it and be the most field goals in any postseason game in NFL history and he is able to bang it through from 44 realities of comical hole 18 points as boswellia that's 18 to 10 Pittsburgh nbc's divisional playoff being brought to you by Toyota let's go places by fidelity investments by Sprint visits print.com and by Coors Light whatever your mountain climb on if Matt Ryan Brady of course Aaron Rodgers with a key that was today some moments from postseason Arrowhead Stadium they're hoping that their ballclub can find its way to Foxborough next week the store watch will drop in the end zone and the duel will sound it there kind of the way the night's God for these two superstars Travis Kelce all night long has been trying to work his way open against these two inside linebackers not a lot of lock there's Lawrence Tim in front of would have down the field of course we've seen this one a few times Kostas team 15 yards and there's a speedster Tyree kill on the outside this is a Pittsburgh defense that is only about two touchdown passes thrown two receivers more than 20 yards beyond the line of scrimmage all season that's the lowest total in the NFL and it's showing up again here tonight Jeff this formation your four receivers set to the right on first half 225 now they break that as Wilson those emotions now see he gets free and kills he a tough guy to bring down route to the 49 yard line Travis Tilton Seguin 224 so you get the stack formation over here and you're going to have guys basically dispersed across once Wilson goes in motion faked the screen that way and come back the other way and maybe this will get Kelsey going it has been those kinds of plays it's almost been when Hill has been the decoy that it's opened up more space and a stealer feedback than anything else third catches my first since the first quarter okay-y done good run here at for Spencer where exactly by the safety bicycle gain of ten first Afghan de city a little bit of the mobility that time of Alex Smith I think just held James Harrison for a fraction of a second on the backside but this is a good team he's going to try and come down but you have to honor the fact that Alex Smith is a mobile guy and that's one of the few good runs we've seen so far out of the Chiefs tonight they need for he Philly 57 round yards ah turning around attention please Jeremy Maclin looking inside back to the outside the rookie at a Miami party verse covering just the killer they've got this wide open down the left side here perfect position inside man coverage and I know what Smith was trying to do drop it in over the outside shoulder but he had him beat so badly if he just gets it out in front of them it's a touchdown so we have seen already didn't see Tyree kill and completely misses that time with a big opportunity [Applause] the same spot in complete this kind of majority burns covering Hill you get a flag down back at the 47-yard locale face now number 32 offense 15-yard penalty second down oh that Sprint's are we're hanging in there to block it gets cold for the facemask well Ryan shazier one of the best blitzing linebackers and you're going to see right here Spencer we're trying to pick him up gets away gets the hand on the facemask and here go to the Chiefs walking backwards again 50-yard foul they can get second down and 25 back at their own 45 yard line this has been a sensational performance tonight by this Pittsburgh Steelers defense they have been getting better and better and better they transition to their youthful secondary a couple of young guys up front and they have got sensational tonight these Ludlow the defensive coordinator this and that's paw at the 38-yard line tells you get two pairs so on a second and 25 they get 17 of those packs sitting of a third down and eight I never ceases to amaze me and I'm sure chief Butler as well you got them second down in a million you run a little crossing route underneath your linebackers and they all react up and they work it in behind to the most dangerous receiver on the cheese but there was the longtime linebacker coach and then radicular Bowl left to go to Tennessee and got the DC position halfway through the corridor to third inning bottom line it's looking Smith pressured chased by Harrison and for specific throw it away so Harrison able to come from the backside finally again a great coverage by that secondary in his fourth date let me remind you that James Harrison is 38 years old he got a sack bumble that turned the first playoff game against Miami almost doing that he came from coverage back on the back end and ended up getting the pressure once again there goes Tyreke he'll down the middle of field and they'll see it so it's for today to both the 38 they have to go for it here with 7-eleven develop regulation I can't think of five why comes down with it fire is crisp calmly converting at the 26-yard line you play the other receivers right the other receivers have had to step up and that just could not have been a bigger play Andy Reid has seen enough playoff losses in as a he goes for it takes a big chance he dials up a guy that doesn't have a ton of catches form this year's huge play second task for calmly tonight I'm Lee the big guy he's like Jeff Green he is a little different looking out there on the field but they give him more chance he'll wind up he could've thank you I got nine yards behind the line of scrimmage hemacue averaging 11 yards for rush this season this country picks up about three she's here makes the tackle second at 7 Harrison for the moment out of the game he ran about 200 yards on that one pressure package coverage all the way back around there plenty of depth at that outside linebacker position but once they settled on two three and Harrison that seemed to be one of the things that turn this defense around after this change back in 2013 of Georgia second down and seven what again jaws formation on the outside and they were scored 200 bucks is going to speak but then gets corralled and stopped at the 25-yard line and it brings us to a third down third and nine Cooper's he's one of those guys that when he walked in the room we get your attention I asked him to show his pass brush moves to me one time when I was pretty pissed he said well this is how I try to break the guy's arm like what here's yeah when you I'm rushing around the corner I want to take his and twist his elbow and he did it about how I said okay forget it that's good with a scowl to third and nine locked and under five minutes to go more man look Rock Creek County with a flat comes in two of them you see them golden oddly it's whack Sean Davis the rookie at a Maryland this is a helmet to helmet for I believe and that Macklin's going to get into it with the secondary and let's see about the cool meanwhile you yet another little plaque came out when you throw it you throw the flag that's another penalty meanwhile you got calmly still down on the ground at the two yard line it was the rookie Sean Davis who came in helmet the helmet on a defenseless receiver no question it's the right call now what happened afterwards we shall see personal foul Italy will hit on a defenseless receiver number 28 he pays a penalty will be enforced calf of justice field goal automatic first down so whatever came in afterwards not announced meanwhile all the attention right now on calmly and it should be first and goal from the 1 yard line [Applause] well at the one it comes back out to the 12 yard line is where the penalty it's enforced meanwhile it's finally the Tollan donor attends rich with Davis like the former secondary coach back after this you have what it takes to be crowned a madman 17 Club Series champion check it out and if L got consolation Madden's dance NFL after the report calmly goes back to the sideline that helmet the helmet is the personal foul so it's half the distance to the goal line as opposed to pass interference which was not which would have given them a first and goal so it's half the distance the ball is dismissed as well they taught the combi on the sideline Harrison is back in the game on that I stripped for him the fight request is in the backfield and they noted for it it makes the 70 yard line Davis and Mitchell make the tackle that will make its second down and four perfectly executed play there they brought the slides lift off of that side and the wide receivers they're just blocking down the field but this is the point in time now where we've seen Alex Smith start to run the football three touchdowns in the last three games running Sean Davis on Annie and inside the boundary so it's going to be an injury timeout situation meaning the net amount of ink at least one play Oh 28 Davis come in and he did hit him with his head first I know exactly what happened to him Jordan Dangerfield comes in to take his place except the one finger to come out for one play he should be back in for the next one but in big second and for Dangerfield not a bad player especially in run situations for Keith Butler he played quite a bit a week ago after taya Conley is back in the game he passed a soda for into the slot to the right Hill is in motion what a great tackle by William Gay a great play by yay taking a third down at 2 now you're going to see Kelsey come through here we saw Larry Fitzgerald score a touchdown on that one a season to go into playoff but somehow I think William Gay who's been covering in that slot all night long just had a sense for that when they hit it for a big play earlier that was a huge tackle on you have to think the Chiefs are going for it even if they don't make it here you do Sean Davis back in the game where is the running back it's third and 2 rolling is Smith and looking at drawing and it's incomplete he got fourth down now intended for Demetrius Paris and with 329 to go he has to go for it that's a tough play anytime you try and go roll out against the zone defense you just pack all those defensive players on that half of the field and there's just nowhere to go man teams maybe sometimes that ends up working but here we go and this is now the biggest call the game for Andy Reid end of the season and meanwhile Kansas City will use a timeout and that's big because if they don't make this in Pittsburgh gets the ball they got only have one timeout they will get the benefit of the two-minute warning but it's conceivable that Pittsburgh could run it out all the way to the finish line a little surprising you had to believe that they knew they're going to go for it on fourth down but this now for Alex Smith his mobility in some way shape or form is probably going to come into play here the read option stuff all the options off of that that's when they've been at their most effective down here but you also know the Pittsburgh Steelers have been watching that same tape too so they know it's common longest drive of the night in terms of plays yards this would be the 12th play of the drive Phil bottom of the spring take it too and that should be it's a nice sermon they've gotta pull back into the game set him up to the left side and he's able to pick up the first down first and goal with one say capture your attention with their fastest guy Tyriq hill coming across and then the full-back is going to go back the other way probably the least cover guy on the field and they hit it great ball that time by Andy Reid first catch of the night for Sherman for two on fourth down really inside accessor where for the touchdown [Applause] two-point game and a two-point conversion to come [Applause] [Music] [Applause] just going to see and make the read right across here James Harrison was right there in the hole and it forswear to bounce around nice run for him and here we go season on the line for the Kansas City Chiefs how was this for a playoff doubleheader today I can't imagine kind of baked or something the tyree people won't be involved here is by himself at the bottom of the screen [Applause] receivers more than set to the right [Applause] put the two-point conversion to the flag to ensuring its Paris makes the catch you got a Collier holding we're going to the left then you're said probably offenses on the phone I'm Eric Fisher is six foot seven James Harrison maybe six feet he dips underneath and watch what Eric Fisher does he gets them hooked around the shoulder pads a little grab the officials right there and those two points come off the board they come off the board and it moves the ball back to the 12 yard line lynnie 12 yards to tie the game [Applause] on the left side you'll see on the left side as well Smith to try to tie it away in the end zone Sean Davis those four guilty of that helmet the helmet busting up intended for backless two-point game 2:43 left 2:43 so play head coach right now if your and Erie do you try an onside kick the kicking team this year recovered 11% of the onside kicks that's about one out of nine or do you kickoff you have one timeout as it goes over things would they've told the special teams coach one time out plus the two-minute warning meanwhile you talk about pressure postseason Kansas City trying to win a home playoff game for the first time since 1993 Pittsburgh trying to go to the AFC championship game and get to the Super Bowl they are anticipating the Steelers are as you can see obviously the onside kick which would have to go 10 yards there's a lot of space down there if you wanted to pooch it and let it bounce around down the field use the two-minute warning use your timeout a lot tougher to call plays when you're backed up because if you throw an interception down there Santos is going to send it down to about the 8 yard line or Gilbert is all the way back to the 5 and then the ball for the moment looked like it was ready to come out Eric Murray made the tackle to the pen of D but now it's all a matter of the clock 238 what's the regular there again the brackets the winner goes to the women from the AFC side Green Bay goes to Atlanta on the NFC side the ball is at the 5-yard line the Pittsburgh Steelers 2:38 and to City one time out plus the two minute warning ears fell picked up a couple in games inferior that you thought to take their time out here and they do a couple things to keep in mind down here now you're sitting here at a two point ballgame so obviously a safety but if you have a holding call in the end zone if you have intentional grounding in the end zone all those are worthy of two points and how much courage do you have these are some great players on the pittsburgh steelers often how much courage do you have to throw the ball in this situation knowing a sack fumble safety a hole back there any of those things an interception is a shot at a field goal for the Camden City - well I don't throw it here because this is going to take it to the two-minute warning Kansas City's out of timeouts second enemy from the seventh [Applause] they are going to throw it play action and it could be caught at the 11 yard line by Eli Rogers so it turns out it's fine for Pittsburgh disaster mistakes can clock down to the two-minute warning it's also going to set up a third down for and the bottom line is if they convert they can run the clock out if they don't they'll have to punt you got Hill going back there no question about it to return it and then Kansas City could win it with a field goal so a lot of stuff going on but that will all come on the other side of the two-minute warning flank to the finnex an arrowhead Pittsburgh 18 Canton City 16 most women postgame report coming up a fill on the field starts the game Bob break it down the brackets to look ahead to the championship games next weekend meanwhile it comes down to this it's a third down and three folded glow if they convert it's all but over just awestruck [Applause] Roethlisberger surveying [Applause] throws hot ground at the 19-yard line Antonio Brown first catch of the second half Wow Antonio Brown just too fast he's going to come across you're going to see Justin Huston drop underneath this thing and he's right there he's right in the throwing Lane been some bought enough time for Bell to work around him or Antonio Brown to work around him and converted the biggest third down of the season team and they can run or not so Brown who had five catches in the first half was blanked in the second half and the Pittsburgh Steelers can begin to think about Foxborough not crisper a 30-second timeout 30-second timeout with a play clock running down and to answer our own question how much courage did Todd Haley this play caller have a ton you threw it twice than that see Quentin so you've got the killer bees and then add a fourth tonight you've got Roethlisberger Bell Brown and how about Chris Boswell there have been over 500 postseason games 534 in the history of the league it's the first time somebody's made more than five field goals in the game Boz Lowe who joined the team last year took over for Josh Scobee has kicked six tonight you've got a ball game tonight here in Kansas City Chris you had two touchdowns in the game both by one team and they lose and a holding call to keep it from going to overtime lightly he has the two-point conversion they converted on fourth down a few times the old man moves on James hares and a brandy read postseason 12 the postseason perspiration just continues Amy's coach down 23 postseason games and he's going to have a record of 11 wins and 12 losses back to the holding call the two-point conversion and it's that guy right there James Harrison that draws it against the former number one overall pick Eric Fisher take two off the board can't drive it in there on the next one and for Todd Haley the play caller for the Pittsburgh Steelers fired by the Kansas City Chiefs as their head coach how sweet is this one for him very so this will do it one kneel down and the Pittsburgh Steelers run the table at the end of the regular season win their last seven beat Miami come in to Kansas City beat them on the road and will play for a ninth Superbowl trip next Sunday respect between those two guys is the Steelers win it by a score of 18 to 16

This game also featured Bob Sutton’s master plan: having Justin fucking Houston covering AB 40 yards downfield

[u/Dave_Matthews_Jam]

Boswell when you could trust him

[u/ShiftyMoves25]

The Chiefs would have given the Patriots a far better AFCCG than the Steelers did.

[u/THEW0NDERW0MBAT]

I believe Le'Veon powered through a groin injury this game. Probably helped doom him for the next game.

[u/757beardsman]

That defense with KC's current offense would more than likely win a Super Bowl or at least make the Super Bowl, lose and rip my heart out in the process.

[u/KCShadows838]

As a Chief fan I like this game

It ensured that KC would do anything to draft a QB in 2017

That was when the Steelers had WRs named Eli Rogers, Cobi Hamilton and Demarcus Ayers after Antonio Brown, and Rogers didn't bother turning around when a seam pass whistled past his earhole at the goal line, and even Brown dropped a pass in the end zone, but somehow it was the QB who played poorly and held the Steelers offense back, according to r/NFL.
