ByGabe Swartz
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A dominant showing for the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1 afforded them just a short time to celebrate before a short-week turnaround for another primetime matchup.
Sunday night, the Chiefs will welcome the Indianapolis Colts (0-1) to Arrowhead Stadium for ‘Sunday Night Football.’
The Colts visited Arrowhead last November, losing to Kansas City 23-20 in overtime after the Chiefs rallied from an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to win. Now, Shane Steichen’s team comes to Kansas City off a 41-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1.
