NFL fans who turned on Netflix to watch the league’s Christmas Day doubleheader had an experience much like college football fans had in the first round of the CFP, except the home teams were the losers.
The Kansas City Chiefs annihilated the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-10 at Acrisure Stadium in front of a crowd of 67,311. The Baltimore Ravens went into NRG Stadium and destroyed the Houston Texans 31-2 in front of 71,544 fans.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are imploding
The Steelers are imploding at the wrong time. Pittsburgh has now lost three consecutive games, all by double digits. The Philadelphia Eagles beat them 27-13 in Week 15. The Baltimore Ravens knocked them off 34-17 on Saturday.
Wednesday’s loss for the Steelers was concerning, as the team could only score 10 points against a Chiefs team missing their best defensive player, defensive tackle Chris Jones.

The Steelers have clinched a playoff berth, but they won’t be AFC North champions. Pittsburgh has one more regular season game to gain momentum before the wild card round when they play the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 5.
NFL Fans call the Steelers a fraud
Fans on social media grilled the Steelers after Wednesday’s loss, with many fans calling them frauds.
“What are we expecting? Chiefs are simply the better team and the Steelers are frauds and The Texans are on fraud watch despite being a division winner,” wrote a fan.
“They’re an absolute fraud same as every yr under Mediocre Mike. KC won three in 10 days. Steelers just have a god awful head coach who can’t/won’t get his teams ready to play. All that matters is having sound bites and going 9-8/10-7. They’ll lose by 3 scores in WC same as usual,” posted another.
“Steelers are a fraud. Chiefs first win by more than one score in months,” wrote a fan.
“I’m Steelers fan and I can declare Steelers are fraud! The defense fooled us to believe they were elite and the offense keep stepping on themselves mistakes after mistakes. They will exist quickly in the 1st round,” suggested another.
“Steelers are a fraud. The Chiefs have been in close games nearly all year, except when they play The Steelers and they roll them. Steelers defense is even more of a fraud. Changed need to be made on the Defensive Staff and Tomlin needs to go,” posted a fan.
