class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Pickens had three catches for 50 yards during the game as he continued what has been a controversial season so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He brawled with a Cleveland Browns player last month and was then flagged for two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">There was no\u00a0<span data-track-module=\"internal-body-link\">Taylor Swift<\/span>\u00a0in attendance but\u00a0<span data-track-module=\"internal-body-link\">Kelce<\/span>\u00a0still managed to set a new Chiefs touchdown record as he finally surpassed fellow tight end Tony Gonzalez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span data-track-module=\"internal-body-link\">Patrick Mahomes<\/span>\u00a0also passed for 320 yards and three touchdowns as the Chiefs locked up the top seed in the AFC for the fourth time in seven seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The two-time defending\u00a0<span data-track-module=\"internal-body-link\">Super Bowl<\/span>\u00a0champions raced to an early 13-point lead and were never really threatened by the Steelers, who have dropped three straight as their

turnovers and hardly looked gassed while playing for the third time in 11 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Kelce caught eight passes for 84 yards while becoming the third tight end in NFL history to reach 1,000 receptions, joining Hall of Famer Gonzalez and Jason Witten.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Kelce sealed Kansas City&#8217;s fifth straight victory with a 12-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The 35-year-old celebrated by dunking the ball over the goal post, which drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and groans from a capacity crowd at Acrisure Stadium that has grown used to seeing Mahomes toy with the hometown team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Mahomes is now 4-0 against the Steelers in his career, with 17 touchdowns against one interception.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"mol-fe-zephr-outcome-wrapper\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NFL fans think\u00a0Pittsburgh
