| Pittsburgh, PA (MySportsbook) - Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Joey Porter is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Porter injured his hamstring in practice before the game against the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday. Pittsburgh's top backup linebacker, James Harrison, is sidelined with a high ankle sprain. If Porter misses the game, it will be the second game the Steelers will lack Porter and Harrison. In that case, the team would revert back to the combination of Arnold Harrison an |

ALEXANDER UPDATE Holmgren revealed on Monday that Alexander, who has been out since Week 3, will not be available for this Sunday's battle against the Minnesota Vikings, and could also miss the team's Week 8 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. When the cracked bone in Alexander's left foot was originally diagnosed, it was thought that he would be back by at least this week, but Holmgren wishes to err on the side of caution in regard to his All-Pro running back.

| (MySportsbook) - The Chiefs' 45-7 loss in Pittsburgh this weekend is the kind that must be tough to deal with. It's the type players like to forget about immediately as they already shift their minds to the next game. The Kansas City Chiefs have the luxury of pretending like this game never happened, but somebody has to talk about the thrashing that took place at Heinz Field, so here it goes. At first glance it seems that the Chiefs just ran into a very angry Pittsburgh club that was thoroughly embarrassed at |

Rowen joined Arizona in January 2005 after spending six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs as the tight ends coach. Kruczek, who owns two Super Bowl rings as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been the team's quarterbacks coach since Green's arrival in 2004.

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Troy Polamalu made so many plays, was so irritating and unsettling, that the frustrated Kansas City Chiefs finally did what has seemed inevitable since the All-Pro safety began wearing his hair down his back. The Chiefs' Larry Johnson, wasting considerable energy to run down Polamalu on a 49-yard pass interception with the Chiefs already down by 31 points, grabbed Polamalu by his long black hair and yanked him to the turf. After having an offense-disrupting game Sunday in the reawakened St |

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Kansas City Chiefs kick returner Dante Hall was deactivated for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh with a hip injury that occurred the week before while returning the second-half kickoff in Arizona. Hall did not practice during the week. He is third in the NFL with a 12.8 yards per punt return average, with a touchdown, and is averaging 23.2 yards on kickoff returns. The Steelers did not hold out starting cornerback Deshea Townsend (hamstring), but second-year defensive back Bryant McFadden was t |

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Great teams, poor teams. Good weather, bad weather. Playoff game, or one that barely counts for anything. Herm Edwards knows it doesn't make any difference. No matter the circumstances or the personnel involved, the Kansas City Chiefs coach knows how difficult it can be to win in Pittsburgh. That's why he seems to care little about the Super Bowl champion Steelers' 1-3 start, Ben Roethlisberger's ragged play, the inconsistencies in their passing game or their defensive letdowns in the seco |
