Worthy was penalized after the play for unsportsmanlike conduct, and Harrison Butker was wide right on a point-after try from 48 yards, leaving the Chiefs’ lead at 6-0.
Worthy leads the Chiefs with nine touchdowns, six on receptions and three on running plays.
It was the 12th first-quarter TD the Steelers have allowed this season, most in the NFL.
