Patrick Mahomes and Kenneth Walker lead game-winning drive in OT as Chiefs beat Colts

Last season, the Kansas City Chiefs' magic in close games ran out. It might be back.The Chiefs got a great challenge from the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night. The Colts tied the game late in the fourth quarter and it went to overtime. But Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' defense had just enough to carry Kansas City to a 33-30 win.The teams traded field goals to start overtime, with the Colts getting one after an apparent game-ending lost fumble by Laquon Treadwell was overturned on a replay review. Indianapolis didn't go for it on fourth-and-8, so that meant Mahomes was getting the ball back with a little more than three minutes remaining, needing just a field goal to win. The Chiefs leaned on Kenneth Walker on the ensuing drive, and a 22-yard pass from Mahomes to Walker got them comfortably into field-goal position. Harrison Butker hit a 40-yard field goal as time expired and the Chiefs improved to 2-0. It was a rough loss for the Colts, who are 0-2. The Chiefs were 1-9 last season in games decided by seven points or less. That came after they won 17 close games in a row, an NFL record. Maybe a new streak is starting. A fun first halfThere were many more points than expected in the first half. A week after the Chiefs' defense did a great job against the Broncos, the Colts were able to sustain drives with little problem. Jonathan Taylor had 75 rushing yards in the first half. Daniel Jones threw an interception that led to a Chiefs touchdown, but he still did enough to keep drives going. Taylor scored on a 24-yard run late in the half to give the Colts a 20-17 lead. The Chiefs were moving it too. Mahomes was sharp, completing 14-of-19 passes for 138 yards in the first half. He threw touchdown passes to Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy. The biggest miscue the Chiefs had before halftime was a missed field goal. Everything else was smooth. Mahomes was decent last week in his first game back from ACL surgery, and looked a lot more comfortable on Sunday night in Week 2. Both teams looked good. They had 10 combined possessions in the first half, not counting one at the end of the half, and there was only one punt and one turnover. There was certainly some entertainment for the Sunday night audience. That continued through the second half and into overtime. Game remains close in fourth quarterMahomes stayed hot to start the second half. The Colts got a nice tackle on Walker on a third-and-goal run, but the Chiefs went for it and Mahomes found Jalen Royals for a touchdown. Royals had three catches for 9 yards in his career before that play. There might have been some concern over the offseason about how Mahomes would look coming off a major injury, but he has put that to rest early in the season. Even though Mahomes was looking good, the Colts refused to go away. They had some key conversions on a long drive in the fourth quarter and Taylor's second touchdown of the game tied it at 27-27 with 5:37 to go. The Chiefs weren't able to get any points to win in regulation. They had a quick drive and punted after a third-down pass was broken up by defensive back and undrafted rookie Kapena Gushiken, who was pressed into duty due to injuries and made some big plays for Indianapolis. It was the Colts' turn to have a shot at getting the win in regulation. They couldn't come through either. Jones was pressured on a third down and threw it away, leading to a punt with less than 30 seconds to go. The Chiefs couldn't get into field-goal range before time ran out in regulation and the game went to overtime. Mahomes made the first big play of overtime with a 30-yard pass to Tyquan Thornton on third-and-12. Kelce picked up another first down to get the Chiefs into field-goal range. The drive stalled and Butker got a field goal for a 30-27 lead. The ensuing drive seemed like it might last one play. Treadwell made a long catch but got up for extra yards and had the ball punched out. It was ruled a fumble, but the turnover call was overturned on replay once it was shown that Treadwell was being touched when he had control of the ball and then went down to the ground. Indianapolis retained possession but couldn't score a game-ending touchdown, settling for a tying field goal. Mahomes had a lot of time. The Chiefs started the drive slowly and then Walker broke a 22-yard catch to put Kansas City in position to win. As he has done many times, Butker finished the win with a field goal.
