Sixteen games and an unforgettable season later, here we are.

It’s been an exciting journey to this point for the Kansas City Chiefs, from Tyreek Hill’s season-opening punt return for a score to Patrick Mahomes’ 50th touchdown pass of the year, and now it’s finally time for some postseason football.

There were plenty of thrills – and a slew of broken records – along the way, but as the playoffs return to Kansas City on Saturday afternoon, the slate is wiped clean. The objective is simple: win three games – two of them being at Arrowhead Stadium – and bring home a title.

And, fittingly, it’s an old postseason nemesis in the Indianapolis Colts that stand as the first obstacle in the way of that quest.

It was an interesting season for the Colts, who struggled to a 1-5 start before winning nine of their final 10 games. That stretch began with a Week 7 victory over Buffalo, and from that point on, Indianapolis posted the top scoring defense (16.4) and the fifth-best scoring offense (28.1) in the league.

It mirrors in many ways what the Chiefs did in 2015, as Kansas City won 10 consecutive games following a 1-5 start to that campaign. And, just like the Chiefs that year, the Colts continued their run of success with a victory over the Houston Texans on the road last weekend behind two touchdown passes from quarterback Andrew Luck.

It was a continuation of a stellar season for Luck, who will likely be named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year following the season after throwing 39 touchdown passes in 2018 – the second-most in the league to only Mahomes.

The veteran passer missed all of last year due to injury, but he’s back and performing at as high a level as ever.

“It’s great to have him back in the game and going. He’s had a great year and you have to stay persistent with him. You have to bring your best against him and do the best you possibly can on every play,” said Head Coach Andy Reid. “He’s going to get you every once in a while, but you have to make sure that you get him more than he gets you.”

https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_editorial_landscape_12_desktop/f_auto/chiefs/n9raulumtraa4sxluvpw.jpg

Luck’s success this year was due in part to arguably the top offensive line in the league, which yielded an NFL-low 18 sacks on the season. That sets up a fascinating matchup on Saturday, as no other team got after the opposing quarterback more often than Kansas City’s pass-rush.

“They’re very good – one of the best that we’ll face all year – but we’ll be ready,” said linebacker Dee Ford, who tallied 13.0 sacks this season. “We’re up for that challenge. Everybody is good at this point in the year, so that’s what we expect.”

A contributing factor to Indianapolis’ low sack totals has also been Luck’s ability to get rid of the ball in a hurry. In fact, when Luck throws the ball within 2.5 seconds, he’s tossed 26 touchdowns to just two picks on the year. Conversely, when Luck holds onto the ball beyond that threshold, he’s thrown just 13 scores with 13 interceptions.

Additionally, that quick release helped the Colts tally the best third-down conversion rate in the NFL this season at 48.6 percent.

It all makes for an intriguing test on Saturday that will require a total defensive effort.

“It’s like anything - we’ll have our chances and we have to take advantage of them,” said Defensive Coordinator Bob Sutton. “To really make it work, you have to be in sync totally. You have to have good coverage to maybe get that one little extra click [of time].”

In order to do that, the Chiefs will need to keep an eye on pass-catchers T.Y. Hilton and Eric Ebron, who combined for 44 percent of the Colts’ receiving yardage on the year. Ebron, a former first-round pick of the Detroit Lions, put together a career-season with 13 touchdowns in 2018 while Hilton has long been one of the very best deep threats in the league.

“[Hilton] can run every route. He has speed and can make plays after the catch, too,” said cornerback Kendall Fuller. “He has it all.”

Tailback Marlon Mack has also been a reliable weapon for Indianapolis all year long, tallying 1,011 total yards from scrimmage. The 22-year-old Mack had 148 yards and a touchdown on the ground in last week’s win over Houston, putting together the best statistical performance of his career.

In fact, in three of the Colts’ last four games – victories over Houston, Tennessee and Dallas – Indianapolis has ran the ball at least 35 times. Mack and the rushing attack will certainly be something to watch on Saturday.

https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_editorial_landscape_12_desktop/f_auto/chiefs/tzqtdlyj0vpcejrl3xzx.jpg

The Chiefs, meanwhile, come into this weekend’s matchup intent on running their high-powered offense – the third-most prolific in NFL history – just as they have all year long. Kansas City became the only team in league history to tally at least 26 points in all 16 games of a regular season this past year, and they’re not looking to slow down any time soon.

“It’s single elimination. [There’s] an intensity [there] and you have to go into it knowing that you have to put your best foot forward. We know that,” Mahomes said. “At the same time, we’re going to be ourselves, do what we’ve done all season long and try to execute at a high level.”

That means distributing the ball to pass-catchers Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, who became the first pair of teammates in league history to each record 1,300+ receiving yards and 10+ touchdowns in a single year this season.

Kelce, in particular, thrived against predominantly zone-coverage teams such as the Colts this year with a team-leading 46 catches for 629 yards and four touchdowns, according to Pro Football Focus.

He has another opportunity to do some damage on Saturday as the Chiefs take the field intent on making their presence felt.

“We’re excited,” Kelce said. “We’re going to go out there, be ourselves and show the world what we can do.”

It won’t be easy, as the Colts’ defense – led by All-Pro rookie linebacker Darius Leonard – has yielded the sixth-fewest yards per game since Week 7, but there’s no denying that there’s simply something special about this edition of the Chiefs.

And this moment – and the opportunity that comes with it - is what they’ve been preparing for all season long.

“I’m excited just to be here and to get the opportunity to go out there and win games like this. When you’re growing up, you want to go and play games like this,” Mahomes said. “When you get older, you want to be a professional athlete and you want to win on the biggest stage. For me, it’s all about going out there, being myself, leaning on my teammates and winning a football game.”

Mahomes and the Chiefs will look to do just that with an opportunity to play in the AFC Championship Game on the line.

Game Preview from ESPN.com (http://www.espn.com/nfl/preview?gameId=401038957)

Colts-Chiefs Preview

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Given the postseason history involving Indianapolis and Kansas City over the years, Andrew Luck and the Colts have every reason to feel confident heading to Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday.

The Chiefs have every reason to believe they're due.

Four times the teams have met in the playoffs, twice in the wild-card round and twice with a spot in the AFC title game on the line. Each time the Colts emerged victorious. All but one were down-to-the-wire nail-biters, one a record-setting shootout and another a defensive slugfest, and each left Colts fans feeling euphoric and Chiefs fans feeling cursed.

Asked whether he understood the magnitude of the next installment in the one-sided series, Chiefs cornerback Kendall Fuller replied quite simply: "Oh yeah."

"Especially what they've been going through over the years and things like that," he said. "We definitely see how fans feel, what they're expecting and stuff like that."

There was the 1996 wild-card matchup in which Chiefs kicker Lin Elliott missed three field goals and the Colts won 10-7. The divisional showdown in 2003, when the Colts won 38-31 in a game featuring no punts. The 23-8 whitewashing three years later and, most recently, the 45-44 shootout in which Luck led the Colts from a 38-10 second-half hole to beat Andy Reid's first Chiefs team in 2013.

There are still more than a dozen players around who were involved in that game five years ago, yet each acknowledged this week that history has no bearing on what will transpire Saturday .

"Obviously they are a great team," said Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri, who has played in the past two playoff games against Kansas City. "They've won a lot of games. They've got a very explosive offense. They've got probably the best returner in the National Football League with (Tyreek) Hill.

"We are going to have to play our best game," Vinatieri said, "to try to keep up with them."

The Chiefs happen to believe the same thing.

Yes, they earned the No. 1 seed with their third consecutive AFC West title, and have arguably the game's best young quarterback in Patrick Mahomes. Hill joins Travis Kelce, a healthy Sammy Watkins and running backs Spencer Ware and Damien Williams in giving him plenty of weapons , while a defense that's been statistically poor also has more sacks than any other team.

Yet the Colts, the sixth and last seed in the playoffs, may be the hottest team playing . They rebounded from a 1-5 start to win nine of their last 10 games to reach the postseason, then dominated the Houston Texans last week with a bludgeoning ground game and stingy defense .

"The way this locker room has prepared," Luck said, "it's all about just getting better, getting better. ... It takes no heroes. You don't need a hero, whether it's a playoff game or a regular-season game. It's just everybody doing their jobs that get things done."

Of course, having a little playoff karma never hurts. The Colts certainly have that when it comes to Kansas City, while the Chiefs believe they long ago hit their quota of misfortune.

"All of us feel like we are here now and focused on the present day," Mahomes said, "and we feel like we have a different team, and that we can go out there and win a big football game."

SPEAKING OF MAHOMES

Colts coach Frank Reich played 13 seasons in the NFL, and has spent most of the past decade working with quarterbacks. And he had high praise for Mahomes , who shattered just about every Chiefs passing record this season.

"I've heard people use the term `generational arm talent.' I think that's really true," he said. "As a former quarterback, I don't say that about too many people. I don't throw that term out real easily. I think he's a legit generational arm talent."

MACK TRUCK

Colts running back Marlon Mack ran for a franchise playoff record 148 yards in their 21-7 win over the Texans . Now, he gets to face a Chiefs rush defense that was last in the NFL in just about every statistical category. "I think that's an indication of how our entire offense played," Luck said. "It's a combination of Marlon and the offensive line."

FAMILIAR FACES

Much of the credit for the Colts' turnaround belongs to general manager Chris Ballard, who worked in Kansas City's front office before taking over in Indianapolis. It was Ballard that orchestrated two solid drafts and rebuilt the Colts defense. "I'm not surprised," Reid said. "He's got the energy to go get it. The energy and the eye to see it and go get it. That's important."

WHAT A RUSH

Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones had 15 1/2 sacks this season, while linebacker Dee Ford has 13 sacks and seven forced fumbles. But one of the most productive rush tandems in the NFL should have its hands full with an offensive line that allowed sacks on an league-low 2.7 percent of pass plays. "We're ready for the challenge," Ford said.

HEALTH CHECK

Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant (toe) has been ruled out, while defensive lineman Tyquan Lewis is doubtful with a knee injury. The big question for the Chiefs is strong safety Eric Berry, who did not practice all week with a recurrence of the heel injury that sidelined him much of the season. He was listed as questionable on the final injury report.

INDIANAPOLIS — The sixth-seeded Indianapolis Colts (11-6) take on the top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs (12-4) this Saturday in the Divisional Round of the 2018-19 NFL Playoffs. Where these teams rank in the standings is just “gray matter,” however, leading many to believe the Colts can pull off the upset. Here is everything you need to know leading into this matchup.


STORYLINES/THINGS TO WATCH

Will Weather Be A Factor? — There is snow in the forecast before and during gametime. At the very least, it will be cold, but the teams have prepared by practicing outside this week. If there is any precipitation, it may help throw Kansas City's potent passing attack off course. In that event, the better ground game may prevail.

Establish The Run — Regardless of weather, it would be good for the Colts to establish the run against the Chiefs' 27th-ranked run defense. The Colts offense also has an advantage in the red zone, as it ranks fifth while the Chiefs' defense ranks 31st in that area. If the Colts can move the ball down the field with running back Marlon Mack and the run game and then get touchdowns instead of field goals in the red zone, then they will be keeping the ball away from MVP candidate Patrick Mahomes while forcing Kansas City to put sixes on the board in rebuttal. Colts head coach Frank Reich discussed this approach earlier this week: “Yeah, that’s it. If it’s running it for 200 (yards) or throwing it for 400 (yards), I am always going to say the same thing. We are trying to score every time we touch the ball and we are going to game plan and call the game in a way to score points. We are really not trying to think so much about, ‘Well let's hold the ball and keep it from them.’ We want to run it, there’s no secret about that. That does keep them off the field, that would be great but at the end of the day the primary goal is score points.”

Shootout At Arrowhead? — If the run game doesn't dictate things then there's a good chance this game could be a shootout between two of the league's most exciting quarterbacks. The Chiefs are the only team in NFL history to score at least 26 points each game in a 16-game season, and the Colts can score points as well, ranking fifth (27.1 PPG) during the regular season. For the viewer, a Luck vs. Mahomes shootout could be quite the entertaining sight. Regarding what impresses him about Mahomes, Luck said: “Yeah, he’s fun to watch. He certainly creates some amazing plays, but he also makes the routine and the simple plays. So I think his ability to really make every throw, to do the simple things well, to do the amazing things well – it’s fun to watch. Certainly it has been fun to watch on TV and hopefully I don’t see too much of it when we’re playing him, but he’s fun to watch certainly.”

INTRIGUING MATCHUPS

Colts OG Quenton Nelson vs. Chiefs DL Chris Jones — This is an awesome matchup between All-Pros. Every week, Nelson pops up on highlight reels for his mauling blocks while Jones was third in the NFL in sacks (15.5) this season. More impressively, Jones recorded a sack in an NFL-record 11 consecutive games between Weeks 5-16.

Colts OTs Anthony Castonzo/Braden Smith vs. Chiefs OLBs Justin Houston/Dee Ford — We already know how good Jones has been, but the Chiefs also bring pressure off the edge with Houston and Ford, who had 22.0 sacks between them. With the duty of blocking the pair, Castonzo and Smith have allowed just four sacks combined. Houston and Ford have had periods of dominance during their career, so this one is a big matchup to watch.

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton vs. Chiefs CB Kendall Fuller — Fuller is one of the league's bright young corners, and like Kenny Moore II for the Colts, he travels from the slot to the boundary. When outside, Fuller primarily plays the offense's right side, where Hilton lines up most often. With Hilton's ankle feeling better all the time, Fuller will really have his hands full.

Colts DE Jabaal Sheard vs. Chiefs RT Mitchell Schwartz — Schwartz is arguably the league's best right tackle, and he is really fundamentally sound. Sheard is a crafty veteran himself at defensive end. Although his pass-rushing stats aren't eye-popping, he often affects the edge in the run game and helps close the pocket in the passing game.

Colts LB Darius Leonard vs. Chiefs TE Travis Kelce — One of Leonard's strengths is his ability to guard a variety of different people in the passing game, which includes wide receivers. Although the Colts play mostly zone coverage, Leonard will likely be tasked with keeping Kelce from racking up many yards after the catch. This week, Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus discussed the effect of facing an elite tight end like Kelce: “Yeah, I think it’s a big issue when you start dealing with different skillsets. When teams have a good receiver and a good tight end and they can put them on opposite sides of the ball or on the same side – mostly opposite – that creates problems for the defense. It just does – the matchups. That’s why it’s great to have – we have a great tight end. We have several great tight ends. We are able to use our tight ends and man that makes it hard for defenses. We have two or three good receivers – that makes it hard. So when we face those guys it’s a difficult task.”

Colts CB Kenny Moore II vs. Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill — Hill plays a great deal between the slot and outside, which means Moore II is likely to be the Colts corner that matches up with him most. Hill's most noticeable qualities are his speed and quickness, so the Colts' budding star corner may have his tallest task of the season.

NOTES AND QUOTES

This week, the Colts made the following moves: Elevated safety Rolan Milligan to the active roster from the practice squad. Placed safety Mike Mitchell (calf) on Injured Reserve. Signed defensive end Anthony Winbush to the practice squad.

Reich on what makes the Chiefs' offense so challenging: “I just think that they do a great job of being very multiple and very diverse. They keep offenses guessing. I think Coach (Andy) Reid, that’s been is M.O. for a long time. He’s very good at being creative and using the weapons that he has. They do have great weapons and he knows how to use them and spread the ball around. Then having a quarterback like that who is a playmaker, he’s had a tremendous year.”

Reich on former Colts head coach Tony Dungy visiting this week and speaking to the team: “He did. He just said a few words to us afterwards. It was great to have him out there. For me personally, obviously, him being the coach that gave me my first job. His words to the team were just proud of you guys, just have enjoyed watching you, have enjoyed watching you get better the whole year and just keep it going.”

Eberflus on whether Mahomes is the priority to stop for Kansas City: “Yeah, I think it’s us oriented. I really do. I think when you play a squad like this that the focus goes more to you then it ever should. I know that might sound backwards, but it’s not to me and our staff. We have to focus on our fundamentals, on what we do and how we do it. That’s the most important thing when you play a team of this caliber.”

Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni on the challenge of playing in a hostile environment like Arrowhead Stadium: “I think we just have to prep for the noise and prep for the hostile environment. It’s nice when you are on the home sideline that’s for sure because you don’t have to worry about that noise. Yeah, we definitely just have to prepare our snap counts to handle the noise, prepare our guys to go when the ball is snapped, prepare us for not having to hear that tomahawk chop song all game – we will try to quiet that down early. Just prepare for the noise and the communication that it requires. We always focus on our communication and always being on the same page. It’s obviously more challenging when it’s loud. So we’ll definitely rep that this week with, you can’t really simulate it because it’s so loud there but we’ll do the best that we can and really work our communication while we are doing it.”

Leonard on if the Colts change their approach due to the quality of opponent the Chiefs are: “No, you just go in with the same mindset. Everything is gray matter on the opposite side of the ball. As long as we go in and just play our keys and hustle to the ball, I think we will be fine.”

Wow thats alot of info. You should be a journalist. Very well done.

[TopekaRoy]

Wow thats alot of info. You should be a journalist. Very well done.
Yeah, except I didn't write any of it. I just copied and pasted.

... You're right. I would make an excellent journalist! :smile

[jason1981]

Yeah, except I didn't write any of it. I just copied and pasted.

... You're right. I would make an excellent journalist! :smile

A journalist doesnt right everything. They investigate and report. You investigated and then reported it. You looking up all the info and puting it in one place is journalism.

[jason1981]

Man this snow and having a muddy or slick field makes me nervous. This skows down our oash rush as well. I dont think ford can use his speed to get around tackle when field is slick. Ut also lets hope we stay healthy as well. But hope this doesnt turn into a run game. Our defense hasnt proven to be abke stop the run.

[Coach]

I worry they the crappy conditions neutralize our speed advantage. Tyreek in particular. I’m just nervous in general. I grew up
in Indy so all of my buddies find it necessary to troll me every time we lose to them.

[Eydugstr]

Snow is STILL coming down. Very thankful the power is still on.

[brdempsey69]

As far as the snow, I will once again point out the 2013 game in Washington, where the Chiefs ignored the elements and came away 45-10 victors. The Chiefs cannot use the weather as an excuse or let the elements stand in the way of their objective -- which is to win this game and advance to the next round.

Remember, Indy has to deal with it, as well & they are primarily an INDOOR team.

[Coach]

Agreed Dempsey. In some respects it’s an advantage for the Chiefs. We’re used to playing cold weather.

[brdempsey69]

Agreed Dempsey. In some respects it’s an advantage for the Chiefs. We’re used to playing cold weather.

Thank you, Coach. In games like this, the team that hits the hardest is generally the team that wins.

The Chiefs simply need to keep their poise & don't EVER give up.

[matthewschiefs]

Here we go

LETS END THE PLAYOFF CURSE AT ARROWHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TopekaRoy]

I hate Chris Collingsworth.

Just thought I'd share that.

[chiefnutz]

Oh yeah, let's kick some Colt butt!

[TopekaRoy]

We may need a little D & D Magic (Damien and Darren), today.

[brdempsey69]

I hate Chris Collingsworth.

Just thought I'd share that.

Exactly why I'm not watching it, but instead listening to Mitch Holthus.

[matthewschiefs]

D on the field first YIKES I'm scared

[matthewschiefs]

That's a nice start run for a loss. Lets hope that's what we see today

[TopekaRoy]

The Jayhawks are crushing Baylor 18-2 right now and the Wildcats upset (20)Iowa State earlier, so it's been a good day for teams with "Kansas" in their names, so far.

[brdempsey69]

Nice play by Dee Ford.

[Eydugstr]

D on the field first YIKES I'm scared

Just means the Colts are scared of our offense.

[Chiefs4life24]

Im expecting a loss so i dont get my heart broken

[matthewschiefs]

NOW DON'T LET UP

[Eydugstr]

Touchdown Damien Williams!!!!!

[Chiefs4life24]

Touchdown Kansas City WIlliams

[TopekaRoy]

Touchdown, one of the Williams (Damien). That's what I'm talkin' about!

[brdempsey69]

Take it in, baby.

Yes, Williams took it in.

PLAY A FULL 60 MINUTES AND FINISH WHAT YOU HAVE STARTED !!

[Eydugstr]

C'mon D.

[matthewschiefs]

Lets get another 3 and out please

[Eydugstr]

Two batted passes in a row

[TopekaRoy]

Chiefs getting a lot of pressure on Luck. He looks really bad so far.

[matthewschiefs]

YES another 3 AND OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eydugstr]

Lucky that wasn't PI

[TopekaRoy]

Two batted passes in a row
Now three!
As in "3 and out!"

[matthewschiefs]

Again Offense do what you do. 2 score game early sounds nice.

And again NO LET UP This time

[brdempsey69]

Nice play by Ward.

Now Offense focus on moving the sticks & don't abandon the running game.

[matthewschiefs]

Nice play by Ward.

He has been pretty good in the limited time he has gotten. Made some rookie mistakes sure but has also made some nice plays

[chiefnutz]

Allright keep the ball moving, 1st down.

[brdempsey69]

Hill for the 1st down. Keep it going. Move the sticks.

[matthewschiefs]

Got to catch the ball guys

[brdempsey69]

Catch the ball !!

[matthewschiefs]

Going for it early on 4th hope it works

[matthewschiefs]

And it did work :) LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eydugstr]

First down

[Chiefs4life24]

Touchdown HILL!!!!

[TopekaRoy]

Nice run by Sherman. He would've got even more yards if he hadn't run into his own team mate.

And TD Hill!

[matthewschiefs]

HILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a start. DON'T LET UP

[Eydugstr]

Lol TOUCHDOWN HILL!!!!!!

[chiefnutz]

That's a great start.

[brdempsey69]

End around for a TD by Hill. DON'T LET UP !! Run 100 POINTS up on them, if that is what it takes to win this game.

[Eydugstr]

Nice stop #31

[TopekaRoy]

Another 3-and-out. Defense showed up today.

[matthewschiefs]

SACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHERE HAS THIS D BEEN ALL YEAR.

This looks like an completely new D

[Eydugstr]

D has had enough of our complaints

[brdempsey69]

SACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHERE HAS THIS D BEEN ALL YEAR.

This looks like an completely new D

I really believe that they simply were not employing BASIC fundamentals in the first 15 games & only in the season final against the Raiders did we see that.

[brdempsey69]

Keep moving the sticks. Keep possession of the ball.

[matthewschiefs]

D has had enough of our complaints

If they keep this up I might declare my love for Bob Sutton after this game

[chiefnutz]

Going for it again.

[Eydugstr]

if they keep this up i might declare my love for bob sutton after this game

do not jinx this game

[matthewschiefs]

Andy not playing it safe so far lets hope that keeps up

[brdempsey69]

Got the 1st down. Let's get some more points.

Good 1st QTR. Let's do this for the remaining 3 Quarters & come out with a win.

[matthewschiefs]

do not jinx this game

That's why I say IF

[TopekaRoy]

Need 6 here, but even a FG would make it a 3 score game and hopefully demoralize the Colts a bit.

[TopekaRoy]

1st down Kelce. Nice run after the catch.

[Eydugstr]

Impressive screen to Kelce.

[brdempsey69]

Take it in, again.

[TopekaRoy]

Sack hurts there. Need to stay in FG range on a messy field.

Offsides gives it right back.

[Eydugstr]

Thanks Indy

[brdempsey69]

A sack given up. ANDY REID, don't abandon the running game.

[matthewschiefs]

O line is going to have to protect better then the last couple of plays

[Eydugstr]

C'mon st

[TopekaRoy]

Mahomes hurt his knee. Hopefully it's just a bruise and he can continue.

[Eydugstr]

Indy's D clamped down that series

[brdempsey69]

Indy's D clamped down that series

Actually, that 1st down call should have been a RUN instead of a pass. The Colts Defense is playing pass right now. make them stop the run. Both TD's have come on the ground.

[TopekaRoy]

Huge TFL from Nnadi

[Eydugstr]

Wth #91!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

3 and out again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TopekaRoy]

And our D comes through again with another 3 and out!

[matthewschiefs]

Don't go total ball control but we need a couple of runs mixed in here.

[brdempsey69]

Great job by the Chiefs Defense, thus far. They are simply employing sound fundamentals that were not there in the first 15 games. Plus, Ward and Lucas are on the field and making a difference by being where they are supposed to be.


Don't go total ball control but we need a couple of runs mixed in here.

Exactly. The main goal is to keep moving the sticks.

[matthewschiefs]

Mahomes is doing a number on the Colts drawing them offsides

[brdempsey69]

C'mon Fisher, get in the game.

[brdempsey69]

STOP with stinking bubble screens, PLEASE.

[Eydugstr]

Indy's D is really trying to make a stand here.

[Chiefs4life24]

well we wont be getting any points this drive

[matthewschiefs]

Fisher killed that drive

[Chiefs4life24]

Disaster

[Seek]

play calling has changed to quick short passes to kill clock

[Eydugstr]

Dangit

[matthewschiefs]

UGH REALLY?

Good lord

[brdempsey69]

Blocked punt for a TD. IDIOTS !!

Get it back Offense & get your heads out of your tails.

[chiefnutz]

I can't believe that happened.

[TopekaRoy]

That hurt, but we're still up by 10 and our offense is getting right back on the field. They need to score this time.

[Chiefs4life24]

that can be a game changer right there

[jason1981]

well we wont be getting any points this drive

Well you was half right. You just got the wront team. Special Teams picking the wrong time to be screwing up.

[jason1981]

Well lets hope the Chiefs take that blocked punt and td as a wake up call and keepit full throttle.

[TopekaRoy]

Kelce!

That's better.

[chiefnutz]

Way to go Kelsey.

[Eydugstr]

Nice catch and run Kelce

[jason1981]

Well lets hope the Chiefs take that blocked punt and td as a wake up call and keepit full throttle.

In other words i hope that just pissed off every chiefs player and they play with a chip.

[Eydugstr]

Nice grab Watkins

[brdempsey69]

Keep it going. Focus on moving the sticks.

[TopekaRoy]

Big play by Hill. Stay aggressive!

[Eydugstr]

That should've been a free play

[Eydugstr]

First down Kelce

[matthewschiefs]

Kelce has come to play today. Hope having him in the 2nd half this year is a huge difference

[Seek]

Players limping is scaring me. That's usually the killer in play offs for us

[Chiefs4life24]

Stupid Chiefs fans are throwing snowballs at the colts players don't screwup this drive you idiots

[brdempsey69]

Stupid Chiefs fans are throwing snowballs at the colts players don't screwup this drive you idiots

Throw them out of the stadium.

[brdempsey69]

Take it in, baby.

[matthewschiefs]

Throw them out of the stadium.

THIS

Common sense you don't throw stuff on the field it's not hard

[Chiefs4life24]

Plus that just makes your team look bad you idiots

[TopekaRoy]

Touchdown MaHomie! Back to a 3 score lead.

[matthewschiefs]

TOUCHDOWN!

Very important for the D to not let them get a score before the half.

[brdempsey69]

Nice, Mahomes took it in himself.

[Seek]

They got him on camera... He will have a bad day now

[Seek]

They got him on camera... He will have a bad day now the snowball kid that is

[brdempsey69]

Stop throwing snowballs, you STUPID IDIOTS.

[Eydugstr]

C'mon D stop them

[brdempsey69]

Would love for the Defense to get a TURNOVER.

[Seek]

C'mon D stop them
A sack would be good

[matthewschiefs]

And the D is going to let them go into the half with something

They have been good so far so can't be to mad. But man that's a missed chance

[Eydugstr]

C'mon D

[Seek]

Big old hold there

[Seek]

Oh wow

[matthewschiefs]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TopekaRoy]

He hit the upright! I know how THAT feels!

[Eydugstr]

And they shank a FG attempt...lol

[matthewschiefs]

That's what's suppose to happen to us LOL

[matthewschiefs]

He hit the upright! I know how THAT feels!

LOL

Also keep in mind the Bears could have had Mahomes :) But they were dumb enough to pass

[Eydugstr]

He hit the upright! I know how THAT feels!

LOL Bears fan....

[Seek]

So far this is a normal play off game. It's the second half that has killed us. I'm about to have a heart attack from the stress

[brdempsey69]

He hit the upright! I know how THAT feels!

You better believe I know how that feels, having watched that lousy stinking '71 Christmas Day game.

[jason1981]

This no huddle by the colts might be a blessing in disguise. It gives bob sutton to see it right before halftime so he can use halftime to make adjust and look at what the colts are doing.

[Seek]

LOL

Also keep in mind the Bears could have had Mahomes :) But they were dumb enough to pass

Well you heard what collinsworth was saying. They projected mahomes to be a 3rd round project

[brdempsey69]

This no huddle by the colts might be a blessing in disguise. It gives bob sutton to see it right before halftime so he can use halftime to make adjust and look at what the colts are doing.

That is exactly right. The Colts are going to have to come out throwing & the Chiefs Defense has to be ready.

On Offense, keep the throttle down & keep moving the sticks and keep possession of the ball and keep the Colts Offense off the field.

[chiefnutz]

Great 1st half. Now let's keep going. Don't take the pedal off the metal.

[matthewschiefs]

Well you heard what collinsworth was saying. They projected mahomes to be a 3rd round project

Those people need new jobs

[TopekaRoy]

LOL

Also keep in mind the Bears could have had Mahomes :) But they were dumb enough to pass

I ain't mad at 'em. Mitch is gonna be a very good QB and with our defenses the Chiefs need Mahomes a lot more than the Bears do.

Mitch would've been even better if he had Kelce and Hill on his side of the ball.

[matthewschiefs]

Chiefs have to keep attacking coming out of the half. DO NOT GO INTO SAFE MODE.

Show us that you have learned this lesson Andy PLEASE LETS GO

[TopekaRoy]

Chiefs have to keep attacking coming out of the half. DO NOT GO INTO SAFE MODE.

Show us that you have learned this lesson Andy PLEASE LETS GO

THIS! We need to extend the lead in the 3rd quarter. We all remember what happened when we had a 31 point lead the last time we played the Colts in a playoff game.

I'm sure our players remember, too, and they are not going to let that happen again.

[Eydugstr]

Chiefs have to keep attacking coming out of the half. DO NOT GO INTO SAFE MODE.

Show us that you have learned this lesson Andy PLEASE LETS GO

Agreed. Keep your foot in their backsides.

[brdempsey69]

2nd half coming up. Focus and finish. Time to turn it on & give it ALL they got for the rest of the game.

[Seek]

Smith scares me with how he holds a ball

[TopekaRoy]

Dangerous pass to Hill there. Fortunately there was no harm.

[brdempsey69]

That's it. Focus on moving the sticks.

[TopekaRoy]

I'm surprised that was the first fumble of the game with these weather conditions.

[TopekaRoy]

Chiefs 3 for 3 now on 4th down conversions.

[chiefnutz]

So proud of Andy going for those 4th down plays.

[brdempsey69]

First down & a great effort by Damien Williams.

[Eydugstr]

Free play thanks Indy

[matthewschiefs]

This is like reverse of last year we are keeping the ball for a great chunk of the 3rd

[matthewschiefs]

Like going for it here given the field position

[Eydugstr]

Dangit

[brdempsey69]

Don't take the sack. Take off and run.

[Eydugstr]

Thanks again Indy

[Seek]

Ughhh. That was a momentum changer

[Seek]

Oh crap. Here we go

[Eydugstr]

Keep burning that clock

[matthewschiefs]

Come on D don't Cave now

[brdempsey69]

Need a turnover.

[Chiefs4life24]

Nice stop by Sorenson

[matthewschiefs]

HELL YEAH D!!!!!!!!!!!!

A score here and I will feel a lot better about this game

[Eydugstr]

Nice tackle Sorensen 3 and out.

[TopekaRoy]

Defense comes through again! They are playing well with a big lead. We haven't seen much of that this year.

[Seek]

Call 911 my heart stopped

[Eydugstr]

Good job #39

[matthewschiefs]

Call 911 my heart stopped

Mine to. First real heart attack tonight LOL

[chiefnutz]

It's OK we got the ball back. Now let's burn some clock.

[brdempsey69]

Way to go Defense. Dodged a bullet on Special Teams.

Now, on Offense move the sticks & keep possession of the ball. Let's get another TD and put them on the ropes.

[brdempsey69]

PLEASE ANDY REID -- eliminate the stupid play-calling.

[Chiefs4life24]

We need more points!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

Their D has stepped up. UGH Never easy

[Seek]

Offensive l8ne is failing this half

[Seek]

Huge hold missed

[brdempsey69]

Holding on the Colts.

[TopekaRoy]

Houston gets a big sack!

[Seek]

Huge!,,,,

[Eydugstr]

Big sack by Houston

[matthewschiefs]

SACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOUSTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See what happens when you don't drop him in coverage :)

[brdempsey69]

Way to go Defense.

[matthewschiefs]

It's time for the put away drive LETS GO OFFENSE

The D has been FREAKING GREAT. END THIS THING

[Seek]

So far the secondary has been nails

[TopekaRoy]

Our defense is starting to get gassed. Offense needs a long sustained drive ending in a TD. That would give the D some much needed rest and help to put the game away.

[Seek]

The move to ward has been a good move

[brdempsey69]

It's time for the put away drive LETS GO OFFENSE

The D has been FREAKING GREAT. END THIS THING

Need better play-calling on this series. And need receivers to get open and catch the ball.

[Chiefs4life24]

Thats a fumble dammit

[matthewschiefs]

UGH That's a fumble DAMNIT

[Seek]

Crap

[Eydugstr]

Grrr....

[brdempsey69]

ANDY REID -- please eliminate the STUPID play-calling!!

[matthewschiefs]

Come on D please hold them to 3

[Eydugstr]

Nice pass defense Fuller

[Eydugstr]

Big time fumble by Luck...

[matthewschiefs]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS D HAS BEEN SO FREAKING HUGE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now PUT THIS THING AWAY lets go

[TopekaRoy]

Chiefs get the ball right back! I love this defense!

[Seek]

Call 911 my wife had a heart attack from my yell

[TopekaRoy]

Come on D please hold them to 3

or zero!

[brdempsey69]

This Defense is playing at a Championship caliber, thus far in this game. GREAT JOB !!

[Chiefs4life24]

4th Quarter as Mitch Holthus says its time to PUT THE HAMMER DOWN!!!!

[TopekaRoy]

15 more minutes. Just play 15 more minutes of solid football. No dumb mistakes. Don't QUIT!

[brdempsey69]

15 more minutes. Just play 15 more minutes of solid football. No dumb mistakes. Don't QUIT!

Spot on. Focus and finish and get out of this with a win.

[Eydugstr]

First down

[Seek]

Irving is a dumb thug

[brdempsey69]

Go north and south running the ball.

[Seek]

Almost blocked it again

[matthewschiefs]

Offense looking like last years in the 2nd half of the playoff game. UGH

[Seek]

Offensive line killed another drive

[TopekaRoy]

Our defense has been stellar, today. Our offense needs to finish strong next time they get the ball and help our D out.

[Eydugstr]

D showed up to play

[TopekaRoy]

Almost had a pick there.

[matthewschiefs]

The D again with the stop just AMAZING

[TopekaRoy]

Now, C'mon Offense. Finish strong!

[Seek]

Let's score and end this

[brdempsey69]

Now, eliminate the stupid play-calling & the stupid mistakes and focus on moving the sticks and keeping possession of the ball.

[matthewschiefs]

UGH again the Offense leaves the door open

[brdempsey69]

What the hell is Andy Reid thinking with his play-calling.

Classic post season Reid in full form. The D might bail him out this time

Exactly. That 2nd down was the time for a quick pass to get the 1st down. He keeps playing right into the Colts hands.

[matthewschiefs]

Again if nothing else D make them use a TON of clock

[Eydugstr]

Crowd still in it. Good.

[brdempsey69]

Need a turnover.

[chiefnutz]

This is not looking pretty.

[TopekaRoy]

Again, almost intercepted!

[matthewschiefs]

Don't agree with the broadcasters he timed that hit pretty well not PI

[Eydugstr]

Another batted pass!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

D line isn't sacking Luck a lot but they are batting the ball down a ton
