The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Kansas City Chiefs face off on Sunday in Week 7 of the NFL 2015 regular season. These are two teams at the opposite end of footballing fortunes this season, with the Steelers right in the postseason race on 4-2, where as the Chiefs are all but gone already on 1-5. The game has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET and takes place from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.
Pittsburgh are preparing for today's game with third stringer Landry Jones under center. First choice Ben Roethlisberger is still out injured and needs more time before he makes his comeback, and that means they have little space for mistakes and must get things right to give Jones as much protection as possible.
Jones came in to replace injured backup Mike Vick last week, and did a good job, leading the Steelers to a 25-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
It is not out of the question for Roethlisberger to make a comeback today though, as his status was upgraded on Friday and he is now listed as questionable. However, expect Jones to play the larger part if Roethlisberger does make an appearance, as the first choice has still only taken part in limited training and practice in the run up to this weekend.
Earlier this week on Thursday Night Football, the Seattle Seahawks destroyed the San Francisco 49ers 20-3 as they shut down the 49ers' offense to great affect.
San Francisco were not even able to get onto the scoreboard until the second half, and when they did it would be a solitary field goal effort in the third quarter.
That result gave the Seahawks their fourth straight win over the 49ers, and it will have pleased them to dump San Francisco down to the depths of 2-5, effectively ending any lingering thoughts that the 49ers had of being able to make the Playoffs.
The Seahawks have been gaining a reputation for having fourth quarter collapses this season, and that has undermined their efforts for their division race. But there was to be no repeat of those collapses on Thursday, as they gained their first road win in four attempts to go 3-4 and within touching distance of a more mediocre .500 record.
On Thursday Night Football, quarterback Russell Wilson completed 10 of his first 12 passes to impose himself on the game, and finished the game with 235 yards passing. However, he was also alarmingly sacked five times as his team failed to give him adequate protection.
Marshawn Lynch scored a spectacular touchdown, jumping the pile for a one yard score, and overall ran for 122 yards, although the most memorable moment for many about Lynch's performance on Thursday may have been when he vomited on the sidelines in the first half.
