Embarrassing AP Story for Pit.

Chiefs clinch AFC's top seed by breezing past the skidding Steelers 29-10

(AP)
...were never really threatened by the Steelers (10-6)...

The Chiefs...hardly looked gassed while playing for the third time in 11 days.

...groans from a capacity crowd at Acrisure Stadium that has grown used to seeing Mahomes toy with the hometown team. 

Steelers, who went 0-3 during a brutal three-game stretch against Super Bowl contenders Philadelphia, Baltimore and Kansas City.

Perhaps more troubling than the losses is the way they played out. The Steelers lost each game at least 14 points...

One sequence late in the first quarter symbolized a frustrating day for Pittsburgh. A holding penalty negated a short touchdown run by Jaylen Warren and Wilson threw into triple coverage in the end zone on the next snap. Kansas City's Justin Reid had little trouble grabbing it to end the threat.

...the Chiefs...methodically pulled away.
