KANSAS CITY — The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Indianapolis Colts 3-0 on Monday night at Arrowhead Stadium, extending their unbeaten start to the 2026 NFL season and solidifying their control of the AFC West.

Patrick Mahomes threw multiple touchdown passes to lead the win. The Colts leaned on their running game to stay competitive, but the Chiefs pulled clear in the second half.

Mahomes distributed the ball to tight end Travis Kelce and the team's wide receivers as Kansas City's offense dominated the nationally televised matchup. Indianapolis entered looking to test its attack against a Chiefs defense that had allowed few points in the opening weeks.

Head coach Andy Reid's team extended its strong record in prime-time games. The result strengthens Kansas City's early standing in the conference, while Indianapolis fell in the standings and faced questions about closing out competitive road games.

The Chiefs will look to build on their unbeaten start as their schedule continues, with Mahomes anchoring one of the league's most consistent offenses.
