15, 2024, in Cleveland. (AP Photo/David Richard) PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Tomlin wasn't in the mood to get into a semantic argument. Yes, the Kansas City Chiefs have played a ton of close games this season.
Yet the idea that two-time defending Super Bowl champions are somehow more gettable than they've been? That's a nonstarter for the longtime Pittsburgh Steelers coach. “I guess I don’t know how dominant they need to be,” Tomlin said. “I mean, they’re 14-1.
” Even during a season in which the Chiefs often have looked ordinary as much as they've looked extraordinary, a victory in either of their final two games would assure them of home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs in their bid to become the first team in the Super Bowl era to win three straight titles. They'll get their first crack on Christmas Day in Pittsburgh. Playing on a holiday is hardly new for Kansas City.
Doing it in the middle of the week.
