What happened

Overtime found the Colts kicking a 38-yard S.Shrader field goal to tie rather than push for the win, and the decision curdled the moment H.Butker's 31-yarder closed it out. The setup was already wobbly — a D.Jones strike to L.Treadwell inside the KC 15 ended in a N.Williams fumble recovered by L.Sneed, erasing the drive that should have won it. Playing for a tie against P.Mahomes is its own kind of answer, and fans heard it loud.

    Fire everyone. The Colts’ defense now holds the NFL record for most yards allowed in the first two games of a season with a jaw-dropping 1,029. The 1976 Seahawks previously held the record allowing 884 total yards.
