The Steelers (10-5) secured a wild card berth and will host Cincinnati next Sunday for the AFC North title. The Bengals (9-4-1) host AFC West-champion Denver Monday night. Pittsburgh, in the playoffs for the first time since the 2011 season, held the Chiefs (8-7) out of the end zone and limited them to four Cairo Santos field goals. Kansas Citys playoff hopes are slim heading into next Sundays home game against San Diego (9-6). Shaun Suishams 23-yard field goal widened Pittsburghs lead to 20-9 with 4:04 remaining. That capped a 12-play, 70-yard march that took 6:14 on the clock. The drive was aided by a 24-yard pass interference penalty on Jamell Fleming on 3rd-and-3 from the KC 48. Santos split the uprights from 23 yards out with 1:37 left, but the Steelers were able to kill the clock when the Chiefs failed to recover the onside kick. Roethlisberger completed 18-of-25 passes for 220 yards. LeVeon Bell rushed 20 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in Pittsburghs third consecutive win. Alex Smith finished 31-of-45 for 311 yards for the Chiefs, who also received 29 rushing yards from Jamaal Charles. Suishams 23-yard field goal capped Pittsburghs 11-play, 80-yard drive to open the game. The big play of the march was a 44-yard reception by Martavis Bryant down the right sideline during a 3rd-and-4 play from the Pittsburgh 21. Santos tied the game with a 35-yard field goal on KCs first possession, during which Smith converted a key 3rd-and-16 with a 19-yard connection to Albert Wilson. The Chiefs pushed the envelope twice in the second quarter in an attempt to get into the end zone. First, they faked a field goal, and Travis Kelces 6- yard gain gave the Chiefs a 1st-and-goal from the 6. The drive stalled, and Santos kicked a 25-yard field goal with 9:25 left in the half. Pittsburgh battled back to grab a 10-6 edge. Roethlisberger converted a 3rd- and-7 with a 13-yard pass to Markus Wheaton to the KC 32. A 14-yard reception by Heath Miller brought the ball to the 6, but the Chiefs made two stops from the 1 on a pair of incompletions. On 4th-and-goal, Bell rushed off right tackle into the end zone with 4:18 remaining. Smith led the Chiefs from their own 16 to the Pittsburgh 12. but on 4th-and- inches and under 30 seconds left in the half, the Chiefs opted to run Charles up the middle. He was met by linebacker Lawrence Timmons and a host of Steelers for no gain. On the play prior, DeAnthony Thomas caught a 5-yard pass, which would have been a first down, but replays showed Thomas knee hit the ground before he stretched the ball to the marker. Charles was stripped of the ball midway through the third quarter. The turnover led to Roethlisbergers 3-yard TD connection to the middle of the end zone to Antonio Brown with 34 seconds left in the quarter for a 17-6 margin. Roethlisberger appeared to injure his knee during the scoring play when defensive tackle Vance Walker stuck his foot out and made contact with the Pittsburgh QB just as he stood in the pocket and threw the TD pass. Roethlisberger went to the locker room but returned in time for Pittsburghs next offensive series after Santos drilled a 43-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter.

Parise had two goals after missing five games with a concussion, and Scandella had the game-winner in overtime to give Minnesota a 4-3 victory over Winnipeg on Sunday. Minnesota blew a 3-0 lead in the third period before Scandellas low wrist shot from just inside the blue line beat Michael Hutchinson at 1:01. Scandella said he didnt realize the puck went in until he saw teammate Jason Pominvilles reaction. He was just screaming, so I was like, Whoa. Maybe I put that one in, Scandella said. It was nice. Especially nice for Minnesota since the Wild was reeling after Winnipeg scored three goals in five minutes in the third. The Jets outshot Minnesota 22-14 in the second and third periods. Their physical play led to 14 penalties in the second period, eight against the Wild. We ended up being short-handed so many times that we just lost a lot of the rhythm on our game, and its not the recipe we want to have, Wild coach Mike Yeo said. The Jets went 0-for-8 on the power play, including two 5 on 3s that lasted 36 and 47 seconds. Michael Frolik ended Niklas Backstroms shutout bid at 5:55 with a wrist shot from the left side of the net. Then Evander Kane scored his second goal this season when his backhander from the bottom of the right circle bounced off Backstroms pads and in between his legs at 8:19. Less than three minutes later, Adam Pardys shot from the point deflected off Andrew Ladd to make it 3-3 and fired up the loud contingent of Jets fans. Im really, really proud the way they handled a couple of real bad breaks there in the first period that would have shattered most teams, Jets coach Paul Maurice said. We got a little snarl on andd fought our way back. T. J. Leaf Jersey. Darcy Kuemper replaced Backstrom, who finished with 19 saves, after Ladds goal. Kuemper stopped all three shots he faced. Its frustrating to lose a game, especially when you came back and you came so close, but when you really look back on it youll see a lot of positives from this road trip, how we really came together and battled, Hutchinson said. Later on down the road this could be a huge point for us. It didnt take long for Parise to give his team a lift — his first goal came at 4:11 of the first with Minnesota already up 1-0. Parises pass from the right circle caromed off Jets right wing Blake Wheeler past Ondrej Pavelec to make it 2-0. His second goal didnt come off his stick either. About 15 minutes later, Pavelec blocked Jared Spurgeons shot, but the rebound hit off Parises leg and went into the net to put the Wild up 3-0. However they go in, Parise said. Looking back early in the year we werent getting those type of bounces for our team. Hopefully they continue. Nino Niederreiter, the Wilds leading goal scorer, gave Minnesota a 1-0 lead 2:07 into the game on a pretty wrap around that sent the puck around Pavelecs outstretched right leg and into the net. Hutchinson replaced Pavelec to start the second period and finished with 15 saves.
