The Kansas City Chiefs needed every second of extra time to hold off the Indianapolis Colts, escaping with a 33-30 overtime victory on Sunday night at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
Kicker Harrison Butker proved to be the difference-maker, splitting the uprights twice in the extra period. His first field goal tied the score, but it was the second — a clutch 40-yard attempt as the clock wound down — that sealed the win for Kansas City.
That final kick came together thanks to a quick-strike drive engineered by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and running back Kenneth Walker III, who moved the offense into position just in time for Butker to deliver the game-winner before the whistle blew.
The nail-biting finish capped an evening of back-and-forth football between two of the NFL’s most competitive teams, with neither side able to pull away until the extra period. For Chiefs fans, the win offered a reminder of the team’s knack for late-game heroics, while the Colts will look to bounce back after coming up just short.
