The Kansas City Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, staged a dramatic fourth-quarter and overtime comeback to defeat the Indianapolis Colts 23-20, keeping their postseason aspirations alive after being down 11 points.
The Kansas City Chiefs, after struggling for the first three quarters with an offense stuck in a rut and piling penalties, dramatically rallied in the fourth quarter and overtime to secure a 23-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Two-time MVP Patrick Mahomes threw for a season-high 352 yards, orchestrating a comeback from an 11-point deficit. Kicker Harrison Butker was a hero, banging through his fifth field goal of the game from 27 yards in overtime to seal the win. Key offensive contributions came from Kareem Hunt, who ran 30 times for 104 yards and a score, and Rashee Rice, who caught eight passes for 141 yards, including crucial plays on the tying drive and in overtime. The Chiefs' defense also stepped up significantly, forcing Indianapolis to go three-and-out on its final four possessions. This vital win, improving the Chiefs to 6-5, injects new life into their playoff hopes as they prepare for a Thanksgiving Day visit to Dallas. Meanwhile, the Colts (5-6) blew a 20-9 fourth-quarter lead due to questionable play-calling and poor execution, particularly by abandoning Jonathan Taylor in favor of quarterback Daniel Jones, who struggled in the second half.
