The Kansas City Chiefs have accomplished something that they haven’t done since September 2007.
They’ve won two games in a row.
The first part of the current streak was an easy one, it came against the Raiders in Oakland.
The back end came the hard way -- beating the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime.
It appeared the Steelers would win the game on the first drive of overtime, but their drive was interrupted by an injury to Ben Roethlisberger, who appeared to suffer a concussion when he took a knee to the noggin.
Backup Charlie Batch looked sharp at first, but the drive sputtered at the Kansas City 38. The Steelers opted to punt, eschewing (I love that word) a 55-yard field goal try from Jeff “Beer Muscles” Reed.
Four plays later, Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel connected with Chargers castoff Chris Chambers for 61 yards, who took the ball all the way to the Pittsburgh four.
Then, Mr. Irrelevant (known to most of his family members as Ryan Succop) became quite germane for at least a day, delivering the game-winning three-pointer from 22 yards out.
The Chiefs are now 3-7. The Steelers have fallen to 6-4, losing two in a row for the second time this year.
