Steelers and the Steeler Face return from bye week to face Chefs

A lot has changed since the Steelers last took the field.  The Baltimore Haters have started to manage handling winning and have posted impressive victories, including a key division battle against the Cincinnati Bungles last Sunday, and the San Francisco 49ers in a Thanksgiving Night Harbaugh Family Puke Fest.  At 8-3, the Haters now control their own destiny and Pittsburgh (7-3) may well be playing for a wild card.

Other changes include Hines Ward dropping down the Steelers' depth chart as Central Michigan University's Antonio Brown continues to emerge as a favored target of Big Ben.  Also, Chris Kemoeatu loses his starting job and at left guard to Doug Legursky, who has impressed on Pittsburgh's front line since last season.

This week the Steelers travel to Kansas City for the first time since 2009 when they donated a 24-27 overtime game to the Chefs.  Pittsburgh dominated the game except for an opening kick off return for a touchdown and an inexplicable pick-six when the Steelers were near the Chefs goal line.

Pittsburgh should win this one easy, but because they never do, look for the Steelers to win a nail-biter, 27-24.  The Steeler Face is 5-4 (including one perfect pick) forecasting Steeler games this season.
