The Steelers came into Kansas City looking to bounce back after their loss to Jacksonville last week. In another low-scoring affair similar to last year’s playoff game, the Steelers jumped out early, ran all over the Chiefs, and got big plays from Antonio Brown and James Harrison to seal the win. Here are the best tweets from today’s game.

Of course they're loud in Kansas City ….. there's literally NOTHING there but that stadium and the Chiefs. …. NOTHING! #Steelers

The Steelers got the ball first and drove into Chiefs territory, but…
Ugh, Ben gets sacked in the one place on the field you can't take a sack – right at the edge of field goal range

SAFETY!!! bad snap…. 2-0 #Steelers..

The Steelers got a break when the Chiefs backup center snapped the ball over Alex Smith’s head and out the back of the end zone.
Steelers 2-0. Top of the second.

But committed an error of their own when AB and JuJu couldn’t field the free kick and the Chiefs recovered in field goal range.

The Steelers came back and drove down the field with Le’Veon carving up the Chiefs defense up the middle.
Running cures all. It will open up passing attack. I love it.

Le'Veon Bell getting stronger — that's 71 yards on 11 rushes. He said running the ball a formula for winning, and he's backing that up. Steelers having success with perimeter runs, giving Bell the option to cut back inside.
— Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) October 15, 2017
Bell cashed it in for 6, because running in the red zone works.

RB @L_Bell26 broke a tie with Rashard Mendenhall (29) for sole possession of the fifth-most rushing TDs in #Steelers history, now with 30.
— Dom Rinelli (@drinelli) October 15, 2017
Bell got flagged for excessive celebration for boxing the goal post though.

So let me get this straight, @NFL. You can play a choreographed game of duck, duck, goose after a TD, but can’t punch a goalpost? #Steelers
— Josh Rowntree (@JRown32) October 15, 2017
"Extra exercise" is a penalty.
— Steve Braband (@stevebraband) October 15, 2017
Obviously we just scored from the red zone. Also we don't understand the celebration rule. Obviously you're yelling at your TV.
— Obviously (Not) Tomlin (@Tomlin_Sense) October 15, 2017
The Steelers were having success running the ball and throwing to the left (away from Marcus Peters). But they got too smart for themselves and tried a throw to the right and Peters picked it off.
Interception. Peters. Brown stopped and Roethlisberger threw the slant. Looked like Brown read one thing and Roethlisberger another
— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) October 15, 2017
Another INT that is not Ben’s fault. AB completely stopped on his route.
— Steelers Network (@SteelersNetwork) October 15, 2017
Antonio Brown either stopped his route on that interception or was running hitch. Either way, he and Ben not on same page, as they say
— Gerry Dulac (@gerrydulac) October 15, 2017
Okay on second glance Brown looks to be at fault there.
— Dom Errico 🗣🎙🎩🏀🏈🏐⚽ (@SteelCityVoice) October 15, 2017
The defense stepped up and got a 3-and-out
Steelers defense really has come to play after two AWFUL blunders. Chiefs are too explosive to just rely on D, gotta cut out mistakes
— Jimmy (@Dorkewicz) October 15, 2017
Vance McDonald finally caught one

The Steelers got down to the 2, but they didn’t run the ball on first down and were held to a field goal.
Ben switched to that crap again
— Noll Schooled (@Nollschooled) October 15, 2017
I can not describe how bad it is to line up in the shotgun at the 2. Knew they’d be held to a FG at that point
— Chris G. (@ChrisG_PIT) October 15, 2017
Three shotgun plays from the two. Perfect.

The Chiefs got their chance at a two minute drive, but Vince Williams came up with TWO big sacks to send us to halftime up 12-3.

The Steelers had to punt, and seemingly had the Chiefs contained but Mike Mitchell whiffed on a sack then committed a roughing the passer ON THE SAME PLAY
Mike Mitchell missed sack, roughing the passer. Double drink. No chaser.
— Cnic △⃒⃘ (@Cnic__) October 15, 2017
Mitchell free on the blitz but grabs Smith's facemask and dumps it to Hunt for a HUGE gain!! Knew it was gonna happen sooner or later.
— Ahmad (@bigarashad) October 15, 2017
I've had enough of Mike Mitchell. I'm pretty much every aspect.
— Jesse Marshall (@jmarshfof) October 15, 2017
What a cheap shot by Mike Mitchell. Disgusting.
— mike vukovcan (@mvukovcan) October 15, 2017
Mike Mitchell might have just singlehandedly let the Chiefs back in this game. First, he misses the gift sack and then a dumb penalty.
— Ray Fittipaldo (@rayfitt1) October 15, 2017
Mitchell just needed a ridiculously unwarranted celebration to complete the hat trick
— Brian McElhinny (@rtjr) October 15, 2017
Rather than kicking a field goal and cutting the lead to 6, the Chiefs went for it on 4th and 2 from inside the 5. The defense stepped up big time.
HUGE STAND by the Steelers defense! Heyward pressure, Shazier hurry, Sean Davis rips the ball awayu from the TE in the end zone.
— SteelCityBlitz (@SCBlitz) October 15, 2017

Credit Davis for fighting hard. Dude made a man catch. I'd throw at Matakevich too. I'll bet that's why they went for it. VW still out.
— Neal Coolong (@NealCoolong) October 15, 2017
The Steelers made it to midfield after the turnover but punted back to the Chiefs.
We have to finish on off, def playing lights out and the offense has 12pts, really? 12? Got to do better a TD or FG ends the gm #Steelers
— Melvin Daniels Jr. (@melvind02) October 15, 2017
The defense couldn’t hold forever, and Smith found De’Anthony Thomas down the sideline who made a few guys miss and took it to the house.
-Too much time to throw
-Lost big-play threat in coverage
-Missed tackle
-Another missed tackle=TD

The Steelers drove it to midfield and Ben nearly threw a pick on third down, but the ball bounced off the corner’s hands and into AB’s lap. He turned it upfield and the rest was history.

The Chiefs marched quickly down the field, but the Steelers defense held to a field goal. Just like in January, Andy Reid opted to kick deep and trust his defense. This time, the Steelers couldn’t convert on 3rd down.
KC going to get the ball.
— Steelers Network (@SteelersNetwork) October 15, 2017
#Steelers 3 and out Will punt back to KC with 1:59 remaining
— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) October 15, 2017
As usual, I counted on this team's offense putting an opponent away. That was my mistake.
— Neal Coolong (@NealCoolong) October 15, 2017
It was up to the defense to stop the Chiefs, and James Harrison came through in the biggest of moments with a third down sack of Alex Smith.
Harrison on Fisher. Rinse. Repeat.
