The Chiefs should beat the Steelers... but Big Ben's last game on the line... there's no way it's as easy as people seem to think it'll be. Don't be shocked if we don't know our matchup until the final minute of that game.
That said, I think we definitely want to play Tennessee. The Bills look a nightmare to go up against right now, and going there would be very tough. Far rather let them and the Chiefs knock the crap out of each other (what a game that would be btw), and try our chances with whoever wins that.
The Titans have been really good at winning games under Vrabel, and Tannehill seems like he's undergone a rebirth since he's been there. I don't think anybody thinks they're the best AFC team however, and I definitely think the Chiefs/Bills are better. But I also doubt most Titans fans wouldn't be happy with playing the Bengals first up.
Assuming it's the Titans, the key to the game is our defence against their offence. D-Line has got to limit Henry, as he can take the game over. We've also got to make sure Tannehill doesn't have a good day, as I think they win if he does. I'm not too concerned with our offence against their defence, I trust in Burrow to get the job done on that end.
Either way, unless we get wiped it'll be a one-possession game. I definitely think we have a realistic chance of a win and that's as good as it gets in the playoffs, you take that every time.
Can't count them out for sure.
Maybe the officiating crew will allow the steelers LB coach to come out on to the field and antagonize the Chiefs defense until they react then penalize the Chiefs... It's possible.
