Chiefs defeat Colts 33-30 in overtime thriller

Published 21 September 2026

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Indianapolis Colts 33-30 in overtime on Sunday Night Football at Arrowhead Stadium, extending their remarkable streak of consecutive overtime victories. The win improved the Chiefs' record to 2-0 and marked their sixth straight overtime win, a streak dating back to the 2021 AFC Championship Game. The game was a back-and-forth contest that required extra time to decide. After both teams traded scores in the extra period, the Chiefs secured the victory on a 40-yard field goal by Harrison Butker. The decisive drive was set up by a critical third-and-12 conversion, where quarterback Patrick Mahomes connected with wide receiver Tyquan Thornton for a 30-yard gain. Mahomes delivered a strong performance, finishing with over 360 passing yards and three touchdowns without an interception. It was his first 300-yard passing game since November 23 of the previous season. Running back Kenneth Walker III was also a key contributor, finishing with 30 touches for 178 scrimmage yards. The Colts, who fell to 0-2, were hampered by injuries during the game.
