Jones capped an 11-play, 65-yard drive with a touchdown pass to Tyler Warren, and Jonathan Taylor's 24-yard touchdown run put Indianapolis up 20-17 at the break — the version of this offense the Colts needed after the Baltimore loss. Kansas City answered before Taylor tied it again at 27 late in the fourth on a second touchdown run, setting up overtime, with left tackle Josh Simmons still out for the Chiefs up front.
Harrison Butker made a 31-yard field goal to put Kansas City ahead in overtime, and Indianapolis had one answer left: a deep shot to Laquon Treadwell that looked like a bobbled fumble recovered by the Chiefs until officials overturned it, ruling him down by contact. The review bought the Colts nothing — Mahomes leaned on Kenneth Walker III to set up Butker's 40-yard, game-as-time-expires winner.
Mahomes finished 382 yards and 3 touchdowns with no interceptions, spreading it to Travis Kelce (9 catches, 101 yards, a touchdown) and Xavier Worthy, while Walker ran for 117 yards. Jones threw for 210 yards with a touchdown and an interception, and Taylor did the heavy lifting on the ground with 92 yards and 2 scores on 24 carries plus 40 yards through the air — the bulk of the load the injury notes flagged him for last week.
The Colts lost receiver Alec Pierce in the first quarter to a heel injury — the same heel he had surgery on in the offseason — and he was carted off after one catch; X-rays came back negative but Indianapolis will know more this week. That's the kind of margin an already-thin receiver room, already missing Ashton Dulin, can't easily absorb against a defense that also gave up chances all night to a Colts offense that outgained expectations.
