Chiefs edge Colts in overtime behind Mahomes and Kelce

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Indianapolis Colts 33-30 in overtime at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday night, improving to 2-0 on the 2026 season behind a historic combined performance from quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce. Kelce, who turns 37 in a couple of weeks, led the Chiefs with nine catches for 101 yards and a touchdown, his first 100-yard regular-season game since 2024. Mahomes, 31 and coming off major knee surgery, passed for 382 yards with three touchdown throws. According to Opta Stats, the Chiefs became the first NFL team in history to have a quarterback over 30 throw for 300 or more yards in the same game that a tight end aged 35 or older recorded 100 or more receiving yards. The performance capped an offseason of scrutiny over Kelce's fitness. A viral, AI-generated video appearing to show him overweight was dismissed as fake, and questions lingered about whether the wedding and honeymoon following his marriage to Taylor Swift would leave him less prepared. Kelce said one training camp goal was to get in the best shape of his life, crediting coach Andy Reid for setting a demanding standard.
