Steelers fan here and couldn't agree more. I think this is what makes them look pedestrian. They haven't had a good back since Leveon left (I'm not a huge James Conner guy). They have the weapons on offense and even with Ben being on the very downside of his career, their offense would be much more explosive with the threat of any running game. Claypool is a star and the defense is legit. No one is touching the Chiefs though, IMO.
I'd still go Chiefs/Steelers in the AFC title game though, but if recent history is any indicator, Steelers will lose to someone early in the playoffs.
