Colts Struggle to Close the Deal Against Chiefs
Indianapolis, USAMon Nov 24 2025
The Colts were on top in the fourth quarter, but the Chiefs came back to win in overtime. It was a tough loss for the Colts, who had a big lead but couldn't hold on. The Chiefs scored a touchdown, converted a two-point play, and kicked a field goal to tie the game. Then, in overtime, they kicked another field goal to win.
The Colts had trouble keeping the ball and making plays when it mattered most. They couldn't move the ball in their last four possessions. Cornerback Charvarius Ward said the team is close to being a contender but isn't there yet. They need to learn how to win these close games.
Linebacker Zaire Franklin said the team didn't play up to their standard. He gave credit to the Chiefs for making big plays. Franklin said the Colts need to be better if they want to be a top team this year.
The Colts started the season strong, winning five games by a lot. But they've lost two of their last three games. Their last win was in overtime against the Falcons. They are still first in their division, but the Jaguars and Texans are close behind. The Colts have four more games against these teams, plus two against tough opponents, the Seahawks and the 49ers. They need to show they've learned from this loss.
The Colts have a chance to prove themselves in the next few games. They need to step up and show they can win when it counts.
