The Kansas City Chiefs (8-6) will be visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers (9-5) on Sunday afternoon in a game between two of the best run defenses in the NFL. Both teams are currently in second place in their respective divisions.

Last Sunday, the Chiefs used a 21-point third quarter to help them beat the Oakland Raiders and snap their three-game losing streak. They had 388 total yards of offense in that win, while their defense was able to hold the Raiders to just 78 rushing yards.

The Chiefs have relied heavily on their defense this season, which has only allowed opposing offenses to score 18.1 points per game against them. Running back Jamaal Charles has averaged 5.2 yards per carry this season and has 950 yards with nine touchdowns.

In their last game, the Steelers picked up their second straight win when they defeated the Atlanta Falcons 27-20 on the road. They had no turnovers in that win and ended up with 398 total yards of offense.

The Steelers have been able to gain more yards than any other team this year, averaging 424.9 total yards per game. Veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a solid 103.4 passer rating through 14 games by throwing for 4,415 yards with 29 touchdowns and just eight interceptions. Roethlisberger's top target has been wide receiver Antonio Brown, who has caught 115 passes for 1,498 yards and 11 scores.
