The Kansas City Chiefs struck quickly coming out of halftime in their Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts at Arrowhead Stadium.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes seemingly found his stride in the second half of the Chiefs' 'Sunday Night Football' tilt with Indianapolis, finding two underrated wide receivers in big moments during the third quarter.

After narrowly converting a fourth down on their first drive, Mahomes aired it out to wide receiver Tyquan Thornton for a 45-yard completion to set up a first-and-goal. Then, the two-time MVP connected with second-year wideout Jalen Royals for a one-yard touchdown pass.

Take a look at these videos of Mahomes' outstanding throws, which were posted to Twitter by the Chiefs' official account:

While Mahomes' touchdown pass to Royals gave Kansas City a lead over the Colts, the former Texas Tech Red Raider's work is far from over.

Stay tuned to see if Mahomes, Thornton, and Royals can help the Chiefs close out their Week 2 matchup against Indianapolis on 'Sunday Night Football.'
