Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers looked dominant. And yet they still only beat the Kansas City Chiefs 18-16. While Pittsburgh’s offense stalled in the red zone, the team was bailed out by kicker Chris Boswell, who was a perfect 6-for-6 on field goals to set an NFL record for most field goals in a playoff game.
The game came down to a Kansas City two-point conversion attempt that was called back because James Harrison was held.
Here are the game’s best tweets:

If I told you Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown would EACH have 101 at the half, you would’ve guessed the #Steelers had a 12-7 lead. Right?

Right. James Harrison is blazing fast and punishingly strong for an NFL edge rusher at age 38 because of…acupuncture.

This drive is a lesson in not treating eight-point games like they’re one-score away.

So: Three future Hall of Fame QBs and a red-hot MVP candidate and first-team All-Pro in the final four. Sounds about right.
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) January 16, 2017

QBs left: Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Ryan. The position is pretty important, evidently.
