The Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day, marking their third consecutive defeat. With a record of 10-6, the Steelers fell out of first place in the AFC North after the Baltimore Ravens' win over the Texans. The Christmas Day games on Netflix achieved record viewership, with 65 million total viewers. The Ravens-Texans game averaged 24.3 million viewers, while the Steelers-Chiefs game had 24.1 million, making them the most-streamed NFL games in U.S. history. This was the first time Netflix streamed an NFL game, following previous issues during a boxing match. The Steelers will face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18, but their chances of winning the AFC North depend on other teams' performances.
