Colts feel close but "not there yet" after OT loss to Chiefs

The Indianapolis Colts squandered an 11-point lead against the Kansas City Chiefs, ultimately losing in overtime due to a Harrison Butker field goal. The Colts were unable to maintain their advantage in the fourth quarter as the Chiefs rallied with a Kareem Hunt touchdown run, a two-point conversion, and a field goal to tie the game. The Colts failed to gain traction on offense, going three-and-out on their final four possessions. Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin emphasized the need for the team to learn how to win close games, acknowledging the Chiefs' ability to execute under pressure.

Despite a strong 7-1 start, the Colts have lost two of their last three games, including an overtime win against the Falcons. They currently lead the AFC South but face close competition from the Jaguars and Texans. With upcoming games against divisional opponents and challenging matchups against the Seahawks and 49ers, the Colts aim to demonstrate growth from their recent setbacks.
