When the very last player to be taken in the 2009 draft came out onto the field, 2008’s best team was doomed.

On Sunday, just a few minutes following Ben Roethlisberger wobbling off the field due to a possible concussion, a field goal of 22 yards was kicked by Ryan Succop with 8:28 left to play in overtime, as Kansas City snapped a 10 home game losing streak, with a 27-24 win over a stunned Pittsburgh team.

A catch and run of 61 yards by Chris Chambers set Succop up. Mr. Irrelevant was able to boot the game winner through for Kansas City (3-7) whose stadium was full of towel waving Steelers (6-4) fans.

Roethlisberger had 398 passing yards along with three touchdowns before he was kneed in the helmet while Derrick Johnson was sacking him. Charlie Batch came in to replace him. Mike Tomlin, Steelers coach said, he wasn’t sure how severe the injury was.

Tomlin said, he took a harsh blow. It was concussion oriented. I doubted he would come back to the game. I don’t have much information about where he is at or his availability. As we proceed we’ll have more information.

Right before the big play by Chambers, Ike Taylor, Steelers cornerback dropped a potential interception.

Todd Haley, Kansas City rookie coach said, this job’s not for the faint hearted.

Matt Cassel, Chiefs quarterback, had a terrible first half. He only passed for 35 yards and had four completed passes. However during the last two quarters as well as overtime he came through, finishing the game with a total of 248 passing yards along with two touchdowns.

Haley said, I have to give Cassel credit. The kid is a real fighter. Haley grew up going to Steelers training camp with his father who was a personnel executive with Pittsburgh. During the Super Bowl last year Haley lost to the Steelers while was the offensive coordinator for Arizona.

Haley said, it’s nice getting rewarded against this type of team. The guys showed a lot of guts and heart.

Facing third down, Cassel connected on a pass to Chambers, signed just three weeks ago from San Diego off waivers. Chambers moved the ball 61 yards until he got pushed out on the 4 yard line.

Ryan Succop, who was the last player selected this April, came into the game and clinched the first home win for the Chiefs in over a year. Late third quarter Succop had a field goal of 27 yards to tie the game at 17.

For the Steelers, it was their second straight loss. They have also lost to the Bengals, their division rivals twice, and were playing without Troy Polamalu, their Pro Bowl safety, who is injured. Chris Kemoeatu, guard, also left the game due to a knee injury.

During regulation, Pittsburgh (6-4) held onto the ball for nearly 19 minutes more than Kansas City (3-7) and also out gained the Chiefs 463-206. Kansas City stayed in the game with the 97 yard return by Jamaal Charles during the opening kickoff as well as an interception return of 94 yards by Andy Studebaker.

Hines Ward, Steelers wide receiver said, during the third quarter we lost some momentum with all of our turnovers and things like that. Ward caught 10 passes for a total of 128 yards and one touchdown. When you allow a team like that to hang around, you give them the chance. Whenever you give that team hope, the feed off of the crowd noise. In overtime they did what they needed to do.

Studebaker, who was making his first start in the NFL, intercepted a pass from Roethlisberger inside the end zone during the third quarter, returning the ball down to Pittsburgh’s 8 yard line before he was drug down by Rashard Mendenhall, Steelers running back.

Studebaker said, once I had the ball picked off, 100 yards seemed like a very long way. That was a very fun play.

During the next three plays, however, Cassel got sacked twice. Kansas City settled for a field goal of 27 yards by Succop.

A touchdown pass of 8 yards from Roethlisberger to Mendenhall gave Pittsburgh the lead back at 24-17 after Pittsburgh recovered a turnover by Cassel at the 27 yard line.

However, Kansas City, who was playing without Dwayne Bowe, their suspended wide receiver, came back. Cassel connected with Lance Long on a pass of 30 yards, and then a 47 yard pass to Chambers to set up a touchdown pass of 2 yards over to Charles to tied the score at 24 with less than 5 minutes to play.

Cassel had a touchdown pass of 21 yards to Leonard Pope as well early third quarter.

Jamaal Charles, who got the first rushing touchdown for the Chiefs the week before, this week got the first kickoff return touchdown for the Chiefs in four years. Charles got the ball on the opening kick off near the 3 yard line, then veered to the right and was barely touched, for the fourth kickoff touchdown return allowed by Pittsburgh in five games.

It was Kansas City’s first home victory, and first defeat of an opponent with a record over .500 since defeating Denver in 2008 during the fourth week last season. In addition, it was the first time posting consecutive wins since October 14-21, 2007.

Succop said, to beat the Super Bowl champs is a really great feeling. Lots of hard work went into this. Our players, coaches and everyone has bought into it.
