Indianapolis dropped a Week 2 overtime decision at Arrowhead Stadium after Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s 40-yard field goal as time expired in overtime. The Colts carried a 20-17 halftime lead highlighted by a Jonathan Taylor rushing touchdown and early scoring connection from Daniel Jones to tight end Tyler Warren. Indy also lost wide receiver Alec Pierce to a first-quarter heel injury and entered the game without Ashton Dulin (ankle).

Kansas City rallied in the second half through big plays from Patrick Mahomes — including a long completion to Tyquan Thornton and a touchdown to Jalen Royals — and converted late to force overtime. In overtime both teams traded short field goals before the Chiefs regained possession and finished the comeback with Butker’s game-winner; the Colts also tied the game at 30 on a Spencer Shrader 38-yard field goal earlier in overtime, per the team report.
