Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs persevered at home to take down the Indianapolis Colts in a 33-30 overtime thriller on Sunday night.

Kansas City began the 2026 campaign on a strong note, blowing out the Denver Broncos 31-10 at home. It marked a strong return for Mahomes, who played his first game back after tearing his ACL last season.

Indianapolis was the next team on Kansas City's schedule, who aspires to be in the playoff mix after missing out last season. This game was in primetime hours, and both teams showed why they deserved that slot.

Kansas City and Indianapolis traded blows throughout the course of the game, taking it all the way into the final seconds of overtime. Despite the visitors' efforts to stun the hosts, the Chiefs got the last laugh when Harrison Butker converted the go-ahead field goal from 40 yards for the win.
