Mahomes' Overtime Heroics Keep Chiefs Alive as MVP Odds Slide

Kansas City enters Thanksgiving at 6-5 in a tight AFC West race.

Overview

  • Down 20-9 in the fourth quarter, Patrick Mahomes led three late scoring drives—capped by a 14-play, 81-yard march in overtime—for a 23-20 win over the Colts.
  • The Chiefs sit 6-5 behind the Chargers (7-4) and Broncos (9-2) and turn quickly to a nationally spotlighted Thanksgiving trip to face the Cowboys.
  • Oddsmakers now list Mahomes around +2500 for MVP, with SI.com noting Matthew Stafford as the favorite and Drake Maye the primary challenger.
  • Travis Kelce pulled Kareem Hunt aside after a late fumble, and Hunt rebounded to 104 rushing yards and a touchdown as Mahomes praised him as “a warrior.”
  • Mahomes credited an energized Arrowhead crowd for the comeback as the franchise weighs a new $3 billion Kansas stadium versus major renovations, with no decision announced yet.
