Mahomes and Walker shine, Butker hits winning 40-yarder as Chiefs beat Colts
33-30 in OT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) --- Harrison Butker kicked two field goals in overtime,
the second a 40-yarder that Patrick Mahomes and Kenneth Walker III set up as
time expired, giving the Kansas City Chiefs a 33-30 victory over the
Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night.
Mahomes finished with 382 yards passing and three touchdowns, Walker ran for
117 yards, and Travis Kelce looked like a younger version of himself with nine
catches for 101 yards and a score as the Chiefs improved to 2-0.
Daniel Jones had 210 yards passing with a touchdown and a pick for the Colts.
Jonathan Taylor had 92 yards rushing and two TDs.
The Chiefs thought they had won the game earlier in overtime on a bizarre
sequence of events.
Butker kicked a 31-yard field goal to give them the lead, and the Colts (0-2)
responded on their possession by having Jones throw deep to Laquon Treadwell,
who had beaten L'Jarius Snead. Treadwell appeared to be bobbling the ball as he
hit the ground, got up after he had completed the catch, had the ball popped
loose and watched as the Chiefs pounced on it.
The play was ruled a fumble on the field, but the officials reviewed it and
determined Treadwell was down by contact. That gave the Colts a chance to score
a go-ahead touchdown, but they ended up having to settle for Spencer Shrader's
tying 38-yard field goal.
The Chiefs took over once more with 3:11 left in the extra session, and they
handed off to Walker on three straight plays to reach midfield. But the
backbreaker for Indianapolis was a 22-yard pass to the running back, which set
up Butker's winning kick.
