  • Chiefs rallied from late deficit, beat Colts 23-20 in overtime, record 6-5.
  • Mahomes threw early interception; Colts reached 88.3% win probability.
  • Despite win, Chiefs fell to ninth in playoff race due to tiebreakers.

The Chiefs badly needed a win Sunday, but things started badly for the Chiefs.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw an interception on the Chiefs’ first drive, and they were down by two scores in the fourth quarter. Heck, at one point, the Colts had an 88.3% chance of prevailing, per ESPN’s win probability chart.

But the Chiefs rallied and beat Indianapolis 23-20 in overtime. The Chiefs’ record improved to 6-5, and they got their first one-score win of the season.

Oddly, the Chiefs dropped one spot to ninth in the playoff race — because the Steelers lost and Ravens won, giving Baltimore the lead in the AFC North. Pittsburgh is ahead of the Chiefs based on a tiebreaker.

“Trying to kill me, but hell of a win,” one fan wrote on X.

There was a sense of relief among Chiefs fans. Here is what they were saying on social media following the overtime win.

“Finally figured out how to win a close game!! We’re still kicking,” a fan wrote on Facebook.

Another wrote: “I’ve never seen a team dominant time of possession and get every call go against them. Way to go Chiefs! Beat the Colts and the refs!!!”

“Kareem Hunt with 30 carries. Andy Reid actually ran the football,” a fan wrote on Facebook.

Another added: “WE ARE THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS REMEMBER???”
