Kansas City has a record of 2-1 straight up, 1-2 against the spread, and 1-2 over/under the total. Kansas City ranks 7th for total offense, 6th for passing, 22nd for rushing, and 4th for scoring.

The Colt defense frustrated Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Accordingly, Indianapolis gave up just a field goal in the second half and two touchdowns following turnovers in Colts territory. While the offense did just enough to take advantage of some uncharacteristic Chiefs miscues.
But when it mattered most, Matt Ryan was at his best. He finished 27 of 37 for 222 yards. Despite getting sacked five times and losing two fumbles. And he threw for touchdowns. The first gave Indy its first lead of the season. And then the second one gave Indy the win.
Chiefs kicker Matt Ammendola missed an extra point in the first half. Additionally, he blew a 34-yard field goal just before Ryan led the decisive drive. Ammendola was replacing an injured Harrison Butker. Also, a fake KC field goal resulted in a turnover on downs. Patrick Mahomes was 20 of 35 for 262 yards with one TD. He was also the Chiefs’ top rusher with four carries for 26 yards.

The Bucs were held without a touchdown for the second straight week into the fourth quarter. Finally, Brady led them into the end zone on a 1-yard pass to Russell Gage with 14 seconds remaining. But Tampa Bay’s bid to force overtime with a 2-point conversion was thwarted. Tampa Bay self-destructed when it mattered with the game on the line. First was a delay-of-game penalty. Following that was an incomplete pass.
