What channel is Steelers vs. Chiefs on today? Time, TV schedule for NFL wild-card playoff game

January 16, 2022 admin

The No. 2 AFC seed Chiefs host the No. 7 seed Steelers on Sunday night for their wild-card playoff game.

The Steelers visited Kansas City just a few weeks ago, losing 36-10 in a blowout game. Since then, the Steelers won their next two games helping them get to the playoffs. What sealed the deal for Pittsburgh to capture the seventh seed was the combination of the Jaguars beating the Colts and the Raiders beating the Chargers last Sunday.

This could potentially be Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s final game as a Steeler. The 39-year-old hasn’t made his retirement official, but he’s hinted that this is his final season.

The Chiefs opened as 12.5-point favorites, which makes the Steelers the biggest NFL playoff underdogs in history.
