Welcome to the Locked-on Steelers podcast.

I am your host, Tony Serino, and this is your daily dose of all things, Steelers.

Today on the show, it is crossover Wednesday here on the Locked-on podcast network.

Ryan Tracy of Locked-on Chiefs will join me later in the show to discuss this Sunday's

matchup.

A big game for the Steelers. They need a bounce back game,

especially from the offense given what we saw on Sunday. Of course, there was some offensive

success, but it was mixed in between, you know, a lot of turnovers there. The Steelers have

really owned this matchup with the Chiefs for the past couple years, right? The last time the

Chiefs beat the Steelers, it was Landry Jones at the helm.

That was during Ben Rothesberger's knee injury.

And the last time the Chiefs beat Ben Rothersberger, you have to go all the way back to 2009.

So it's been, you know, again, nine years since the Chiefs beat Ben Rothersberg.

The matchup over the last couple years has really been defined by two things. One, the success of Levion Bell in the Steelers running game, and the success of the Steelers'

defense against the Chief's offense. You know, Alex Smith and that Chief's offense was not one

that stretched the field vertically, right? And so it really didn't test this Steelers secondary.

In fact, it kind of played into the strengths of the Steelers secondary, which was kind of

keeping things in front of you, you know, and again, not allowing big plays.

The Chiefs weren't really going for big plays in a lot of these, and it led to a lot

of success for the Steeler defense.

And, you know, the Chiefs really have had a tough time scoring in this matchup.

That will not be the same this time around.
