Summary
Kansas City entered the fourth quarter ahead 24-20 after a long red-zone drive put the Chiefs in position to land a potentially decisive score.
The lead swung on an 8:01 third-quarter touchdown march that included a fourth-and-1 conversion, a 45-yard Patrick Mahomes pass to Tyquan Thornton and a fourth-down scoring throw to Jalen Royals.
Travis Kelce fueled the comeback, turning 7 catches into 73 yards and a touchdown to become the game's leading receiver.
Indianapolis stayed close by scoring on four of five first-half non-kneeldown drives, but injuries mounted with cornerbacks Charvarius Ward Sr. questionable with a groin issue and Sauce Gardner going down later.
