That is prompting some oddities in the NFL schedule, with the Steelers one of four teams who played last Saturday and are now playing on Wednesday. What ever happened to "any given Sunday?"

Anyway, the rest is equivalent to that of teams who play on Thursday following a Sunday game, but with the Saturday contest, it all comes out to three games in 11 days for the Steelers, and former quarterback Ben Roethlisberger isn't happy about it.

"It's not a good feeling," Mahomes told reporters a couple weeks ago. "You never want to play this amount of games in this short of time. It's not great for your body. But, at the end of the day, it's your job, your profession. You have to come to work and do it."

It will be the Chiefs and Steelers in a 1:00 p.m. showdown on Christmas.
