The Steelers are second in the NFL in red-zone efficiency in home games and they’re 27th on the road. That's bottom five territory....

That..coupled with the stats you posted, is a pretty stark difference. BigRape sounds bi-polar....2/3 of his TDs come at home. That's a large sample size too...3 seasons.

**** no. You put your defense on the field and let them make a statement. Plus you want that ball to start the 2nd half.

Agreed. KC has the #1 ranking in takeaways.. and my guess is that the KC offense is probably one of the better teams on drives to open the 3rd quarter.

Chiefs - 43 Steelers - 14 total reversal of the regular season game in Pittsburgh. Chiefs get touchdowns from all 3 units.

I'm looking for a Denver repeat, with a 36-14 score, 1st and goal in the final minutes..Dontari floats one to Conley in the back of the end zone.

Never. One, you want to try and dictate field position from the outset in getting them to punt and flipping the field to give you a better starting position. Second, the 2nd half is more important. You've had a chance to see how they've gameplanned throughout the 1st half and can come out after halftime with adjustments to better attack on offense and adjust on defense. Having 1st possession in the 2nd half means you'll have a much higher likelihood of getting more possessions than they will in the 2nd half, and since the end of the 4th quarter matters significantly more than the end of the 2nd quarter, you want to maximize your opportunities when there are more valuable and at a time when your strategy is better dictated by taking into account the time remaining in regulation. There are a few more reasons why logically and from a strategy standpoint you want the ball on offense to start the 2nd half, but the above is more than enough to justify why you shouldn't deviate from this outside rare rare circumstances.

Chiefs 31 - Steelers 21
