The pre-game read
Kansas City beat Denver in Week 1 with Patrick Mahomes looking sharp, and DT Chris Jones is expected to play despite a calf issue. Indianapolis was demolished 41-23 by Baltimore, exposing significant defensive vulnerabilities. The Chiefs are at home on Sunday Night Football, and Mahomes is historically dominant in primetime. The Colts' Michael Pittman Jr. is OUT, further weakening their passing attack. Indianapolis showed they can score but their defense was carved up by Lamar Jackson — Mahomes presents a similar dual-threat challenge. The contrary case is that the Colts have the offensive talent to keep it close, but Arrowhead at night is a fortress.
