The Steelers (7-6-1) are coming off a comeback win against the Titans last week. Pittsburgh trailed by 10 points late in the third quarter before Ben Roethlisberger was able to sneak in a one-yard touchdown run to cut the lead to 13-10. Then kicker Chris Boswell helped convert three turnovers into nine points with three field goals in the fourth. The Steelers went on to win 19-13.
Pittsburgh will look to get rookie running back Najee Harris going again after he had a lackluster performance against the Titans. Harris compiled a season low 26 yards of total offense in the win. He also caught just two passes in the game, marking just the third time this season he failed to catch at least three.
The Chiefs (10-4) may not even remember that they had such a hard time at the start of the season. After their 3-4 start K.C. has strung seven wins together for the longest active streak in the NFL. However, this week they were reminded to take nothing for granted as all-pro tight end Travis Kelce was placed in COVID protocol as was wide receiver Tyreke Hill. They status for Sunday is unknow at this point. Kelce was coming off a 10-catch, 191-yard, two touchdown performance against the Chargers in Kansas City’s 34-28 overtime win last week. A win that featured Kelce’s incredible game winning touchdown reception.
One unique thing about last week’s win over a division rival, was Patrick Mahomes was needed to be the "Patrick Mahomes" who we’ve seen over the majority of his career. For the first time in six games the Chiefs’ defense allowed more than 17 points in a game, forcing their offense to step up and that’s just what they did. Mahomes threw for 410 yards and three scores while running for 32 yards on three carries.
The Chiefs are a 7-point favorites against the Steelers. The over/under is 44.5.

In the U.S., the Steelers vs Chiefs live stream is going to be broadcast on CBS, which is available with most cable packages and on one of our favorite streaming services: fuboTV.
The game starts at 4:25 p.m. ET / 1:25 p.m. PT today (Dec. 26)
You can get your local CBS network's NFL games via Paramount Plus, if you want.
The NFL game broadcast rights have stayed similar season over season. CBS gets AFC games on Sunday afternoons, FOX has the NFC games, NBC has Sunday Night Football and some Thursday night football, while ESPN has Monday Night Football. Amazon Prime Video has some Thursday Night Football games, while the NFL Network will continue to offer a bunch of games throughout the year.
So, that makes it really easy to recommend where cord-cutters should turn to watch the NFL season: Fubo TV. Built for all things sports, Fubo has all three of those local broadcasters, plus ESPN and NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
Sling TV doesn't have CBS (not without AirTV at least), so while that's one of our favorite services, it's not ideal for football fans.
Fubo.TV: One of the best streaming services with FOX, and the top pick for watching all of the 2021 NFL live streams, Fubo has all of the right network channels and the two cable channels you don't want to go without.
