A franchise of the NFL past and one of the NFL present meet in a battle for the NFL future on Christmas Day.

The Pittsburgh Steelers is one of the most decorated teams in NFL history. With six Lombardi in the trophy, it is impossible to tell the story of the league without including Pittsburgh. Still, it’s been nearly 15 years since Mike Tomlin’s team was able to capture another Lombardi Trophy and raise a banner in the “Steel City.”

But this season Steelers exorcises ghosts from past seasons. With a new-look offense Russell Wilson below center, Pittsburgh is in a battle for the AFC North. If they keep pace and win the division, it will be their first AFC North crown since 2020; their current drought is the longest they have had since the 2002 NFL divisional realignment.

However, they face the monster of the NFL’s Christmas present. The chiefs owns the NFL’s best record and is in the hunt to secure the no. 1 seed in the conference. Kansas City recently re-added Hollywood Brown to its receiving ranks and gave Patrick Mahomes another weapon to use as chiefs gear up to a threepeat.
