one thing no one here has pointed out yet regarding Pittsburg

[miesque1127]

From what I've heard, the biggest problem is when you have the nagging injuries late in season, a 5 hour flight sucks ass. Being couped up on a plane and not being able to use team facilities as much is what has the biggest impact on whether players are 80% or 90-100%

They don't fly coach.

The bigger issue is health. Winning on the road in the playoffs, no matter how many consecutively, isn't an issue. That was an extremely physical game, and the QB is far less than 100%.

Doesn't matter.

Williams might play, and they beat Cincy with a 3rd string RB. Chiefs have been fine without Charles. Losing a RB isn't nearly as important as losing people at other positions.

The key is getting Landry enough reps in practice to be ready. If they don't think Ben will play, Jones should be getting reps.

The issue is how healthy is Ben and can he make the throws. The RB situation isn't a major concern.

My guess would be that they give Landry all the reps anyway and let Ben rest, best of both worlds because we know Ben doesnt need all of those reps to be on the page with his receivers.
