From broadcast information to complete analysis, here’s a home base for you to use to prepare yourself for today’s Week 2 showdown between the Chiefs and Steelers.
If you thought everyone was talking about Patrick Mahomes this week after a season-opening win over the Los Angeles Chargers, he has a chance to become a true household name today—at least among NFL fans. The Kansas City Chiefs are in Pittsburgh today to face the Steelers in an early showcase of two AFC powers, and the two teams are getting a nationally televised audience in the early afternoon slot.
In other words, a lot of people will be watching Mahomes vs. Ben Roethlisberger.
Last week, Mahomes came out of the gate and put up enough stats to win the conference’s Offensive Player of the Week award against one of the NFL’s most lauded secondary units. That said, no one will ever confuse the Chargers and Steelers overall right now in the lives of both franchises, and Pittsburgh in particular has proven to be kryptonite for the Chiefs in recent years. A new season and quarterback can change all of that, but memories of recent losses to Big Ben and company will hang overhead like a cloud until the team can produce a victory.
