The long wait is almost over for the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers. Let the game begin.

After a satisfying win against the Chargers in the final week of the season. The Chiefs gave everyone a chance to breath and rested both coaches and players during the bye. Andy Reid stated that all 53 players are healthy and will be available this Sunday. That’s big news considering Spencer Ware injured his ribs in Week 16 and Justin Houston missed the last two weeks of the season.

The Steelers managed to cruise past the Dolphins in the wild card round without significant injuries. Ben Roethlisberger did appear to at least sprain his ankle on the second to last play of the game, but has stated over and over that he’s good to go. This is just the second time the Steelers have had Ben, Brown, and Bell all healthy for the playoffs. The last time the Chiefs and Steelers faced they had the big three available. The Steelers were without starting linebacker Ryan Shazier, and the Chiefs were without Justin Houston.

Now that everyone’s healthy and ready to go. Lets take a look at some of the storylines heading into the game.
