The Kansas City Chiefs looked to start the season 2-0 at home, hosting the Indianapolis Colts at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday Night Football. The night's immediate questions centered on whether the defense could hold up again and slow down Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor.
Patrick Mahomes was sharp and focused, hitting multiple receivers and making more history with Travis Kelce on their latest career touchdown connection. Kenneth Walker was a standout on the ground alongside rookie Emmett Johnson while wide receivers Xavier Worthy and Jalen Royals earned much-needed touchdown receptions.
Kristian Fulton started for Mansoor Delane and secured his first Chiefs interception. Nick Bolton led the defense, as usual, atop the player leaderboard
in total tackles.
