INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — The Indianapolis Colts controlled the majority of their contest against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, going into the fourth quarter up by a score of 20-9 before the offense faltered, allowing the Chiefs the necessary life to force overtime at 20-20.

Ultimately, the Chiefs' defense got a stop in overtime and then went down and scored the walk-off field goal, winning 23-20.

The loss dropped the Colts to 8-3 and removed their ability to stand atop the AFC playoff standings. Meanwhile, the Chiefs saved their season, going a game above .500 at 6-5.

With the Colts' offense playing efficiently for much of the contest, the defense hanging on as long as it could before being asked to do too much, and the special teams putting on a clinic once again, there were some standout performances.
