The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Indianapolis Colts 33-30 in overtime on Sunday night after a chaotic extra period. Harrison Butker kicked the winning 40-yard field goal as time expired, marking the second straight year Kansas City beat Indianapolis on an overtime field goal.
Patrick Mahomes threw for 382 yards and three touchdowns, while running back Kenneth Walker III rushed for 117 yards. Tight end Travis Kelce caught nine passes for 101 yards and a score as the Chiefs improved to 2-0.
“I mean, I think guys were resilient, and we just strained to finish. It wasn't always pretty. But guys continued to fight and we found a way at the end.”
The Colts fell to 0-2 after coach Shane Steichen chose to kick a tying field goal on fourth-and-8 rather than attempt a go-ahead touchdown. Steichen said they liked the look for a run but took a delay of game penalty and kicked instead.
Earlier in overtime, officials ruled a Laquon Treadwell catch a fumble, but replay determined he was down by contact. The ruling gave Indianapolis possession with a chance to win, but the drive stalled.
Mahomes said the team showed resilience despite inconsistent execution. The Chiefs regained possession with 3:11 remaining and used three straight Walker runs to set up the winning kick.
