KC leaders, Steelers players to watch Sunday

Four players to watch as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday afternoon.

No. 10, WR Tyreek Hill

24 years old, 5 feet 10 inches, 185 pounds, 3rd season

The Chiefs speedster set the bar very high after the first week. Not only did he play amazing games on special teams – the opening with a 91-yard touchdown is over. a dominant wide receiver. With seven receptions for 169 yards and two touchdowns, Hill operates the Chargers defense. He spent a month in Lincoln, Nebraska, where he worked during the off-season, and showed it last Sunday. Hill could get an even more favorable game against the Steelers this Sunday with cornerback Joe Haden (hamstring) dubious. If Haden is out, Cam Sutton will probably draw the mission to pursue Hill. Good luck.

No. 20, DB Steven Nelson

25, 5-11, 194, 4th season

Aligned as the Chiefs' right-half, Steven Nelson will likely be paired with All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown. It's far from easy. Nelson is doing well against the Chargers, but he has had some scratching games. He was lucky when he completely lost his man in the end zone, staying out when Travis Benjamin made his intervention. It would have been an easy touch, except that Benjamin dropped the ball. The Chiefs are not likely to be so lucky against the Steelers. To succeed, Nelson and the rest of high school will have to bounce back after a tough fourth quarter, in which they allowed two TDs and 196 passing yards.

No. 90, LB T.J. Watt

23, 6-4, 252, 2nd season

Before blocking the Browns' attempt in the final seconds of the overtime, Watt terrorized the Cleveland offense with four sacks. The second-year linebacker (and JJ Watt's younger brother) has been more productive since moving to the left side of the Pittsburgh defense. a vicious pass rush.

No. 7, QB Ben Roethlisberger

36, 6-5, 240, 15th season

Big Ben was limited in practice this week with an elbow injury, returning only to the field Friday afternoon. He had a tough race against Cleveland, throwing three choices in a tie in overtime. The elbow injury, which Roethlisberger described as a "bruise", occurred late in the passing period when he was sacked by Genard Avery. On the latest injury report of the week, Roethlisberger was considered dubious for Sunday's game. With Le'Veon Bell still in the lead, Roethlisberger is more than ever able to catalyze the Steelers offensive. Against the Chiefs last season, Roethlisberger completed 17 of 25 passes for 252 yards and a touchdown. He also launched an interception. After a tough performance against the Browns, there is no doubt he will seek to unleash some fury against the Chiefs.
