Summary
Kansas City moved back in front 24-20 with 8:01 left in the third quarter when Patrick Mahomes hit Jalen Royals on fourth down after three stuffed runs.
That score capped another sharp Chiefs drive after Mahomes connected with Tyquan Thornton for 45 yards, giving Kansas City a chance to seize control despite earlier third-down struggles.
Indianapolis had taken a 20-17 halftime edge on Jonathan Taylor's 24-yard touchdown run with 59 seconds left in the second, the fourth lead change of the night.
Taylor has powered the Colts offense, while injuries have complicated the comeback bid after receiver Alec Pierce left the game with a heel injury.
The back-and-forth prime-time game comes as Kansas City chases a 2-0 start and Indianapolis tries to rebound from its Week 1 loss to Baltimore.
