Look what the Wind blew in and when Steelers Offensive Coordinator got the Job he had to look at the Schedule when  it came out and tell himself I need the Chiefs on this Schedule. Well Coach Haley the Football Gods have obliged and NFL Week 10 its Monday Night Football with the 1-7 Chiefs vs the 5-3 Steelers. Two Teams Playing with one Team moving to the Penthouse and one to the Port-A-Potty.

NFL Week 10 #MNF
8:30pm ET 
ARROWHEAD Contingent 
@ Heinz Field 
vs
STEELERS

This Game has Two Story Lines with One being the Steelers have the Ravens coming up Sunday Night and they need to be 1 Game back. The Other Story Line is Steelers Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley calling Plays against his Former Team. Everyone will downplay the Ladder Story Line but we will see if the Steelers come in with all the Bags of Tricks.

The Chiefs come into Heinz with this being their Super Bowl. They made Changes last week as Chiefs Lead Man Romeo Crennel steps down as Defensive Coordinator and named Backers Coach Gary Gibbs Defensive Coordinator. What doesn't change is Chiefs QB Matt Cassell, a Lethargic Defense that has Big Time Talent on every level, and a Team that is heading South quickly. Cassell will get the Start as they tried the Brady Quinn Science Project and that didn't do anything. They have RB Jamaal Charles but they put him on Ice last Week as he got under 10 Carries. WR Dwayne Bowe is in a Contract Year and he is going to Put Up Numbers because at this Point its about Me not We. The Steelers need to account for those Two as they are the only Chiefs Weapons capable of hurting the Steelers D.

The Chiefs D has OLB Tamba Hali, ILB Derrick Johnson, OLB Justin Houston, CB Brandon Flowers, and Safety Eric Berry. Those Five Names are Pro Bowl Caliber without a Doubt. So can New Coordinator Gibbs stop Big Ben in Company as the Chiefs are 29th in Points Against at 30 ppg, 23rd in the Run D 123 Yards per game, and 11th in Passing Defense and that is largely due to Flowers and Berry. The Steelers are going to Pound it and can the Chiefs Front stop it.

The Steelers come off of a Huge Win at Met Life Blue last Week and the Steelers are getting their Mojo back and that for the AFC let alone the NFL is a Problem moving towards December and January Football. Big Ben will be without WR Antonio Brown as he may miss a couple more Weeks. In his place will be Go Go Sanders and he is just as capable. Vet Jerricho Cotchery will step in as the 3rd WR and we have TE Heeeeeeeeeeeeath and the Chief don't. The Run Game has come full circle and it looks as though RBs Rainey and Dwyer will join REDdawg Redman as the Steelers will have a Staple of Backs including Baron Batch and FB Will Johnson. The Chiefs will have to Stop the Run Game and if they don't it will be a Long Night.

The Steelers D is #1 in Yards Allowed and against the Pass. They are also #4 vs the Run. They have tightened up that back End and the Steelers are worried about QB Cassell but more worried about RB Jamaal Charles. WR Bowe and TE Moeaki will get some attention but the Chiefs Lights are not just going to come on and they play above 1-7 they are what their Record says they are. The Steelers must concentrate at the Task at hand as they have the Ravens in their Rear view Mirror for a Sunday AFC North Tilt that will impact the Whole AFC.


Winner: STEELERS 31-6 as the Steelers dominate on both sides of the Pigskin...Coach Tomlin tells Coach Haley to take Foot off Gas Pedal in 3rd Frame..Haley runs Triple Reverse Half Back Pass for Pay Dirt...My Bad Coach
