In one of the biggest surprises from Week 3, Philadelphia and rookie quarterback Carson Wentz thoroughly dominated the Steelers in a 34-3 win while Kansas City was doing the same to the Jets with a 24-3 victory. Pittsburgh managed only 251 yards of offense compared to 426 for the Eagles. Ben Roethlisberger finished 24-of-44 for 257 yards and was intercepted once and the Steelers gained only 29 yards on the ground on 2.9 yards per rush. Pittsburgh was also outyarded in its win over Cincinnati in Week 2, but managed to win 24-16. Wentz embarrassed the Steelers defense, throwing for 301 yards on 23-of-31 and became the first QB in NFL history with no interceptions in the first 100 attempts of his career. Pittsburgh is now an uncharacteristic #27 in the league in yards allowed. Alex Smith was his usual efficient self in completing 25-of-33 for 237 yards against the Jets and Spencer Ware rushed for 75 yards. However, the big story was the six interceptions thrown by Ryan Fitzpatrick as the Chiefs finished with eight takeaways. The Steelers have not had much luck against AFC West teams, covering the number just twice in the last 11 games. The Chiefs have covered four of the last five meetings and also five of their last seven road games overall. Pittsburgh has gone OVER in 11 of its last 16 after a loss and based on last week's debacle, the Steelers pass rush has a lot of work to do as they have recorded just one sack this season. Smith could have a field day if given too much much time. Play the Chiefs and the OVER.
