The Kansas City Chiefs secured the AFC's top playoff seed with a decisive 29-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, improving their record to 15-1. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, despite nursing a high ankle sprain, threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns, emphasizing the importance of the upcoming bye week for healing injuries.
Mahomes praised the team's resilience during a grueling schedule and highlighted the contributions of wide receivers Hollywood Brown and rookie Xavier Worthy. Tight end Travis Kelce set a franchise record for career touchdown receptions with his 77th TD, paying homage to Tony Gonzalez with a celebratory dunk.
With one regular-season game remaining, Coach Andy Reid faces decisions on player rest, but Mahomes remains ready to play, trusting Reid's judgment as they prepare for the playoffs.
