PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers are reeling following a 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Pittsburgh has dropped three straight to fall to 10-6. The slide has severely damaged the Steelers’ chances of winning the AFC North. Pittsburgh struggled on both offense and defense against the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs. Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for three touchdowns and the Chiefs defense sacked Russell Wilson five times. Pittsburgh gets an extended break before hosting Cincinnati in its regular-season finale.
