were destroyed by the Pittsburgh Steelers 43–14, which put the Chiefs on 2–2 for the year. After the bye week, however, the Chiefs won their next five games and were sitting at 7–2 on the season until an upset occurred as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were able to eek out a two-point victory against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, as the Bucs won 19–17.
