Prediction: eventually the NFL will move its entire schedule to 4:30-8:30. There may be exceptions such as Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve but the NFL 1pm starting time will soon become a dinosaur.

The Sunday night game is now considered THE Game of the Week, so now they're just going to throw 4-5 games in that time slot? I don't see it happening.

One oddity about the Steelers Chiefs game is that it is only the eighth game in pro football history to have the same final score as the football game in the movie MASH - 18-16. The oddity is that the Steelers and Bengals played an 18-16 game last year in the Wild Card game.

Another Steelers game that ended with an 18-16 score had Pittsburgh on the wrong end of it: In 1976, when Joe Jones' pile-driving sack of Terry Bradshaw nearly broke the latter's neck.
