Watch the Seattle Seahawks vs. Chicago Bears game on Sky Sports NFL starting at 1.15 am on Friday. Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, and Justin Watson all scored touchdowns as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers to guarantee the No. 1 seed in the AFC as they aim for a third consecutive Super Bowl.
With a 29-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, the Kansas City Chiefs secured the top seed in the AFC for the fourth time in seven seasons behind 320 yards and three scores from quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Steelers (10-6), who have lost three straight games as their hopes of winning the AFC North took another hit, never threatened the two-time defending Super Bowl winners, who jumped out to an early 13-point lead.
Even though defensive end Chris Jones, a perennial All-Pro, was sidelined due to a calf injury, Kansas City’s defence handled the majority of the scoring, with Mahomes connecting on first-half score passes to Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson.
For the third match in eleven days, the Chiefs played with barely any signs of fatigue, caused two turnovers, and sacked Russell Wilson five times. Travis Kelce joined Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten as the third tight end in NFL history to surpass 1,000 receptions, hauling in eight passes for 84 yards.
With a 12-yard scoring grab early in the fourth quarter, Kelce broke Gonzalez’s franchise mark for most touchdown catches with his 77th of the season and helped Kansas City win five in a row.
