Colts upset Chiefs in head-scratching loss

The Kansas City Chiefs dropped to 2-1 on Sunday, falling on the road to the Indianapolis Colts, 20-17.

Matt Ryan completed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Tight End Jelani Woods with just 24 seconds remaining, and a last-second pass by Patrick Mahomes was deflected and intercepted to seal the loss.

Mahomes completed 20/35 passes for 262 yards and a score, as well as led the Chiefs’ pedestrian rushing attack with just 26 yards. Juju Smith-Schuster was the Chiefs’ leading receiver, hauling in five catches for 89 yards in the loss.

The Kansas City special teams unit had a day to forget, as Matt Amendola missed an extra point and a field goal in place of the injured Harrison Butker, and punt returner Skyy Moore muffed an early punt leading directly to an Indianapolis touchdown early in the game. And additionally, the Chiefs attempted– and failed– a fake field goal in the second half.

Kansas City will now travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football on October 2nd. A complete stat breakdown is below.
