The Kansas City Chiefs were taken to overtime by the Indianapolis Colts before securing their second-straight win, and can finally breathe a little in their upcoming matchup vs. the Miami Dolphins.
The Kansas City Chiefs secured their Week 2 win in an exciting fashion, waiting until the clock expired in overtime against the Indianapolis Colts.
Sunday Night's OT thriller came down to the wire, with kicker Harrison Butker hitting a 47-yarder to secure KC's second-straight win of the 2026-27 season.
Our hosts, Golden J and Chico, had the pleasure of being at Arrowhead for the game and opened this week's episode by talking about the experience.
Looking at the game, Chico mentions how the Chiefs and Colts seemingly save their best for this matchup specifically, which proved to be true Sunday night. What ultimately ended in the Chiefs' favor was a high-scoring match with both teams attacking the other all night long.
Kansas City's quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, showed the NFL world that he can still air it out after a lackluster Week 1 performance -- the 31-year-old threw for 184 yards against the Denver Broncos and followed it up with a 382-yard dominant W against the Colts, completing 32-of-47 pass attempts.
Newly acquired running back Kenneth Walker showed out once again, rushing for 117 yards but failing to see the end zone.
Tight end Travis Kelce looked like a younger version of himself, leading the Chiefs in receiving yards with 101 and finding the end zone for a touchdown in the first quarter.
Defensively, Kansas City had a rough day despite the win. Giving up 30 points isn't a great sign for the Chiefs, but the Colts do bolster one of the best RBs in the league, Jonathan Taylor.
As mentioned above, Golden J notes that Indy seemingly is always putting forth their best when going head-to-head with the Chiefs. All-time, the Colts have Kansas City's number. Indy has won 18, and the Chiefs have won 13 in their matchups. While there isn't much to be said about superstitions, the Chiefs and Colts have historically been a cutthroat matchup.
Kansas City finally gets a little bit of a breather in Week 3, heading to Florida to take on the Miami Dolphins at 1:00 EST on Sunday.
Miami is challenging the rest of the NFL for the worst team in the league, sitting at 0-2 with a combined 36-point loss margin in games against the Las Vegas Raiders and San Francisco 49ers.
ESPN ranked the Dolphins as the No. 32 team on their weekly power rankings, which appears to be an accurate rating.
Unsurprisingly, the Chiefs are favorited to win Week 3 as well.
