The Pittsburgh Steelers defense opened the scoring before the Chiefs scored three straight TDs.
On a first-and-10 from the Kansas City 31-yard line with 10 minutes, 41 seconds remaining in the second quarter, the Chiefs snapped the ball to wide receiver Mecole Hardman, who fumbled the hand-off to running back Darrel Williams.
Williams recovered the ball just before Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward knocked the ball free again. Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt scooped up the ball and ran 26 yards for the touchdown.
It gave the underdog Steelers an early 7-0 lead.
