Colts-Chiefs Week 12 Preview: Indianapolis Brings Top-Ranked Offense to Kansas City as Road Underdog

AFC playoff positioning hangs on whether the Colts' efficiency translates on the road.

Overview

  • Off a bye, the 8-2 Colts travel to Kansas City to face the 5-5 Chiefs in Week 12.
  • Team Rankings and Pro Football Reference show Indianapolis with key offensive edges: 32.1 points per game (1st), 5.3 yards per rush (1st), and 8.2 yards per pass attempt (4th).
  • Despite that profile, Indianapolis enters as the road underdog with Kansas City at home under Patrick Mahomes.
  • The Colts' recent turnover surge—six against Pittsburgh and two against Atlanta—looms as a potential equalizer.
  • Cornerback Charvarius Ward is eligible to return to practice this week, a development that could enable a more aggressive approach opposite Sauce Gardner.
