KANSAS CITY, Mo. Kevin Huber Jersey . - The Kansas City Chiefs hopes for a post-season berth go through a daunting matchup at the Pittsburgh Steelers.Kansas City (8-6) hasnt allowed a 300-yard passer and has allowed just two touchdowns rushing on the season.But the Chiefs defence hasnt faced an offence such as the Steelers (9-5), who are the NFLs top-ranked group.Theyre a very balanced offence, Chiefs cornerback Sean Smith said. They like to run and pass the ball. Great back, great receivers and a tremendous quarterback back there who can make all the throws, can take hits and make the throws. This is by far our biggest test of the year.The Steelers present the Chiefs a big challenge when it comes to defending quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, running back LeVeon Bell and wide receiver Antonio Brown.Roethlisberger, who is 3-1 against the Chiefs, ranks second in league in yards passing (4,415) and sixth in touchdowns (29).The 11th-year pro has been on a roll in the past eight games with 2,822 yards passing (352.8 per game) with 21 touchdowns and five interceptions.Roethlisbergers top option is Brown, who leads the NFL in yards receiving (1,498) and receptions (115).Browns 115 catches established a team record, and his 11 touchdowns rank third in the league.Covering the dynamic fifth-year pro takes a team-wide effort.Not one guy can stop Antonio Brown, Smith said. Its going to take all 11 (defenders). Pass rushers, great technique and were going to have to bring everything we got because those guys are playing at a very high level.Chiefs cornerback Jamell Fleming agreed, adding he understands what must be done in the teams press-man scheme if hes locked up against Brown.Just win my one-on-one matchup, Fleming said. Thats my mindset, and being aggressive with him. Hes not the biggest guy, so you want to be aggressive with him.Then there is Bell, an emerging star the Chiefs must account for out of the backfield.While Kansas City held the Oakland Raiders to 79 yards rushing in Week 15, the Chiefs were hurt in Weeks 11 to 14 with a total of 738 yards rushing allowed.Bell ranks second in the league in rushing with 1,278 yards and the former Michigan State star is a good receiver out of the backfield with 76 catches for 765 yards.Bells 2,043 yards from scrimmage rank second in the NFL and set a single-season team record.Bell has the admiration from a fellow Spartans alum on the Chiefs, who will be on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage attempting to keep Bell in check.Hes a Michigan State guy, Chiefs defensive end Kevin Vickerson said. I know how hes built coming from a program like that. Hes a bell cow. Hes used to that pounding and gets better through the course of the game toward the end. We just got to stay pounding him.Pittsburgh ranks sixth in the league in scoring (27.8 points per game).The Chiefs approach against the Steelers appears to be one of containment with an understanding of the difficulties to completely shut down elite players.A great offence is going to score eventually, but its how fast can they score, Chiefs safety Kurt Coleman said. If we can make them run the clock out and give our offence the ball, we got to be able to create a turnover. I think thats going to be the name of the game: Who can control the line of scrimmage, who can limit the big plays, and then who can get the most turnovers?NOTES: Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe (illness), defensive end Jaye Howard (illness) and tight end Anthony Fasano (knee) did not practice Wednesday. ... Running back Jamaal Charles (knee, ankle) was limited. ... Cornerback Phillip Gaines (concussion) and defensive end Allen Bailey (concussion), both of whom did not play in Week 15, returned to a full practice. ... The NFL selected Chiefs running back/punt returner DeAnthony Thomas as the AFC special teams player of the week. ... Thomas recorded eight punt returns for 156 yards, including an 81-yard punt return for a touchdown, in Week 15.___Online:AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Quinton Flowers Jersey . "I only want to go through this one more time," Crosby said Friday. The 24-year-old captain hasnt played since the symptoms resurfaced following a loss to Boston on Dec. 5. Doctors allowed him to return to full practice on Tuesday and while Crosby is pleased with the way his body is responding he refuses to put on his return. Boomer Esiason Jersey . The 30-year-old Texas native was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 20th round of the 2001 amateur draft. Duke spent six years in Pittsburgh and also had stints with Arizona, Washington and Cincinnati. Sang Hwa Lee skated a terrific pace in the final race of the womens 500m, setting a new Olympic record of 37.28 for a combined time of 1:14.70, also an Olympic record. Lee won the gold medal, defending her title from the Vancouver Games. Russians have a new medallist to cheer. Olga Fatkulina won the silver medal in front of the home crowd. Fatkulina finished with a combined time of 1:15.06. Margot Boer became the first speed skater from the Netherlands to win a medal in the womens 500m, taking the bronze medal with a total time of 1:15.48. Nesbitt was the fastest Canadian, finishing with a combined time of 1:17.15, finished 12th. She was assigned a false start in the second race but avoided a penalty with a clean start on the second attempt. "I was better in my first race than in my second, which is very frustrating," Nesbitt said afterr the race. Michael Jordan Jersey. "I false-started in my second race, which took me off my guard." Joining Nesbitt in todays races were Calgarys Anastasia Bucsis, Marsha Hudey of White City, Sask., and Danielle Wotherspoon-Gregg, from Red Deer, Alta. Hudey and Wotherspoon-Gregg are making their Olympic debut. Hudey was the first Canadian to race in the second race, finishing with a combined score of 1:19.22. Wotherspoon-Gregg finished with a combined time of 1:19.32. Anastasia Bucsis finished with a combined time of 1:18.52. Nesbitts priority is to use the 500m as a tune up ahead of the 1000m on Thursday; she is the defending Olympic champion. "Its going to be tough on Thursday," she said. "The girls have stepped it up in the last four years and this season. Ive got work to do, but thats why Im here, to compete."
