Pittsburgh 24 (6-4), Kansas City 27 (3-7)

Nov. 22 was a bad day for the top two teams in the AFC North. Hell, it was bad for all the teams in that division, as they each lost their respective games. Unfortunately, outside of the Baltimore Ravens at 5-5 (who lost to the now-10-0 Indianapolis Colts), the rest of the AFC North's members did not lose to opponents, that were....well—respectful competition.

The Steelers somehow, someway, lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime: 27-24. Chris Chambers may not be on a Super Bowl contender, but he has revitalized his career in Kansas City, after a so-so stint with San Diego—on a young team that has nowhere else to go in the future but up. Pittsburgh quarterback Big Ben Roethlisberger threw for a career high 398 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. Not terrible, but not great either. Anytime Big Ben throws for THAT much, then normally, the Steelers would not be in great shape. Then again, look at the discrepancy in total offensive yards:

Pittsburgh: 515

Kansas City: 282

So just how was Kansas City able to knock off the reigning Super Bowl Champions?

Their special teams unit played a huge part, specifically Jamaal Charles, who had a 97-yard kick return for a touchdown. Quarterback Matt Cassel also did his thing, going 15/30 for 248 passing yards and two touchdowns. Notice I left out the number of interceptions because Cassel had none. Big Ben had two picks as a result of a Chiefs defense that just wouldn't quit, to the point where they knocked the Pittsburgh QB out of the game (unintentionally of course). Big Ben seemed to have suffered a concussion after a knee to the head. Not good.

Backup Charlie Batch stepped in and the Steelers' series in overtime went downward. Once Kansas City got the ball back, Cassel dialed up Chris Chambers' number for a 61-yard reception! This could be a great QB-receiver duo the next year or so.
