In Week 12, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Indianapolis Colts</a> faced the Kansas City Chiefs in a thrilling and intense matchup. Despite holding a strong lead for most of the game, the Colts were unable to secure the victory and ultimately suffered a tough loss to Patrick Mahomes and his team.



A few days later, head coach Shane Steichen reflected on the defeat and acknowledged that his play-calling may not have been good enough to take down a team as solid and disciplined as the Chiefs.



“You always go back and self-evaluate those situations,” HC Shane Steichen said. “I really thought that last drive in regulation when we went pass, pass, pass, I could have called some runs there. Absolutely could have eaten up some time there, but, you know, in hindsight, it just didn’t work out, and I look at myself first and foremost in those situations to get better for our guys moving forward.”



<h2>The offense wasn’t the only issue</h2>



The Colts entered the fourth quarter with a 20–9 lead, but neither the offense nor the defense managed to close out the game. Kansas City mounted a remarkable comeback, scoring 14 unanswered points to force overtime and eventually win 23–20.



Indianapolis’ defense, dominant through the first three quarters, struggled to contain Mahomes in the final minutes. Meanwhile, the offense faltered at the worst possible time. The Colts received the ball first in overtime but went three-and-out, missing a crucial opportunity to regain momentum.



From there, the defense couldn’t stop Mahomes from driving downfield to seal the victory. While Daniel Jones and the offense must improve their late-game execution, the defense also failed to deliver when it mattered most.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a> won against the Indianapolis Colts at home in Week 12. This means the team’s record improves to 6-5 and their NFL Playoffs hopes are still alive even though it’s a tricky situation. Can they still play in the postseason?



It was the fourth time this season that the Chiefs couldn’t score a touchdown in the first half. That’s how irregular their season has been. After the win, the Chiefs have 59% chances to go to the playoffs. While over 50%, it’s still almost a coin toss.



With a 6-5 record after the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Colts</a> game, divisional rivals Denver Broncos (9-2) and Los Angeles Chargers (7-4) still are ahead of them. Kansas City remains third in the AFC West only above the Raiders (2-8).



<h2>Andy Reid hasn’t missed the playoffs in more than a decade</h2>



Looking at the fact that the Chiefs would likely need a Wild Card spot to go into the playoffs, the mission is almost impossible. The Chiefs are out of the AFC’s best seven seeds so the comeback to go to the postseason would be miraculous. The last time that Andy Reid missed the playoffs was back in 2014.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251123_BUS_532451_Andy-Reid-18_5290f448.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Andy Reid, Kansas City Chiefs HC" class="wp-image-347558" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Andy Reid, Kansas City Chiefs HC</figcaption></figure>



However, it was very different. The Chiefs had Alex Smith at quarterback back then and also, they finished 9-7, at least with a winning record, something that doesn’t look like a guarantee this year either. At least for now, the Chiefs are still alive.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-travis-kelce-confirms-retirement-decision-timeline-with-chiefs"></div>


<h2>What’s the Chiefs’ remaining schedule?</h2>



Kansas City visits the Dallas Cowboys on a short week as part of the Thanksgiving schedule. Then, it hosts the Houston Texans’ elite defense at Arrowhead. Week 15 has the Chiefs hosting divisional rivals Chargers. It’s a tricky span for Kansas City.



To end the season, they have two very winnable games and a tough one. They visit two of the worst teams in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> in Tennessee (Week 16) and Las Vegas (Week 18). The tough game is at home against the Broncos.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/taylor-swift" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taylor Swift</a> has made it known that, if she can, she will attend the Kansas City Chiefs homes games. Today, they face the Indianapolis Colts in a must-win game and everyone is wondering if the pop icon will be in attendance.



It’s not clear if Taylor Swift is in attendance for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chiefs</a> game vs Colts. Every time Swift attends a game, the buzz around her is notable. She has also made quite the connection with the Chiefs Kingdom. It seems like she is not at Arrowhead because when she is, she usually gets camera time and she hasn’t been shown yet on the broadcast.



Taylor Swift has attended the Chiefs’ five home games this year, and the record is 4-1 at Arrowhead. Hence, it’s safe to say the singer has been a good luck charm for the Chiefs. This is exposed as well by the Chiefs’ away record, which stands at 1-4 without Swift in attendance.



<h2>Kelce is having himself a season</h2>



Many were quick to all but retire tight end <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-kelce" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Travis Kelce</a>. Maybe, Taylor Swift’s fiancé deserves more respect. He is having a stellar season, arguably the best in the last couple of years. At 36 years old, Kelce is still delivering. He is on pace to get more than a thousand yards for the season and seven touchdowns. Kelce is aging like fine wine.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251123_BUS_532214_traviskelce-9_7d5bb09a.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Travis Kelce tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs" class="wp-image-336279" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Travis Kelce tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs</figcaption></figure>



If Kelce delivers on his projections, he will marry Taylor Swift after his best season since 2022. The four-time All Pro is a living legend, but he is committed to still create damage despite not being in his prime.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-travis-kelce-confirms-retirement-decision-timeline-with-chiefs"></div>


<h2>Taylor Swift has engaged well with Chiefs’ fans</h2>



When she first attended a Chiefs game, Swift had a shy approach. She admitted she didn’t know much of football. Now, she is very connected with the fans, she is beloved in Arrowhead. That atmosphere would be great for a crucial game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Colts</a>.



Kansas City is a place where you feel welcome and if your fiancé is a team legend, people there will surely engage in friendly ways with you. Then, you add Swift’s personality and how she has learned about the city and football, and it’s a marriage -no pun intended- made in heaven between the fans and her.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a> will go head to head against the Indianapolis Colts in one of the best games in Week 12. Still, for a crucial game like this, it’s good to see if weapons like Xavier Worthy will suit up or not.



Originally listed as questionable in the team’s injury report, according to Ian Rapoport of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Network, Worthy is expected to play. Worthy has been a very reliable weapon for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.



Worthy has 27 catches for 281 yards and one touchdown while also carrying the ball seven times for 73 yards. He is a very speedy player that gives the Chiefs a big dynamic on offense.



<h2>Rashee Rice is also suiting up</h2>



Since returning from suspension, Rice has played four games this season. In those games, Rice has 26 catches for 253 yards and three touchdowns. With Worthy and Rice, there are no excuses for the Chiefs to not move the chains.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251123_BUS_532097_rashee-rice-chiefs_f358bef9.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Rashee Rice #4 of the Kansas City Chiefs" class="wp-image-411568" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Rashee Rice #4 of the Kansas City Chiefs</figcaption></figure>



While Worthy brings speed and is used as a gadget, Rice is a volume receiver that has safe hands and good route running. The Chiefs need this win badly so both receivers need to step up for the game vs. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Colts</a>.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-travis-kelce-confirms-retirement-decision-timeline-with-chiefs"></div>


<h2>What are the Chiefs’ playoffs chances?</h2>



Right now, the Chiefs’ postseason odds are not great. With a loss to the Colts, the Chiefs’ chances to go to the playoffs are only 29%. If Kansas City wins, though, its odds are boosted all the way up to 57%. That’s why this team needs to win badly.



Kansas City is the ninth seed right now with a 5-5 record. It trails <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Houston</a> (8th seed) and Jacksonville (7th seed – last playoffs spot). The race to get into January football is very tight.

Stopping <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the Kansas City Chiefs is not an easy task. As Daniel Jones prepares to score points, the Indianapolis Colts also got massive news to enforce their defense ahead of their Week 12 game.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Colts</a> activated cornerback Charvarius Ward Sr. from injured reserve. Hence, they will finally have their star CB duo of Ward and Sauce Gardner ready to lock up on the Chiefs receivers.



Ward hasn’t played since Week 5. He suffered a concussion and, as he told James Boyd of TheAthletic.com, “I was throwing up, getting dizzy. I was&nbsp;getting dizzy for like a month. That wasn’t normal, so that was like a real-deal traumatic injury for me. A lot of emotions and everything like that, so it was pretty tough, but I’m feeling good now.” It was a bad time for the cornerback.



<h2>Was Ward playing great before the injury?</h2>



Absolutely. During the four games that Ward has played this year, he had three passes defended. Ward also allowed just 14 completions. Given the fact that the Colts have been demolishing teams, hence the opposing teams are throwing much more than usual against them, Ward season was going great.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251122_BUS_531916_charvarius-ward_1801338b.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Charvarius Ward #7 of the Indianapolis Colts" class="wp-image-531918"></figure><figcaption>Charvarius Ward #7 of the Indianapolis Colts</figcaption></figure>



Ward has been a top corner for a while now. In fact, in 2023, he was a Pro Bowler and second team All Pro while leading the NFL in passes defended with 23 and having five interceptions. Ward is 29 years old so he is still in his prime and comes just in time to try and limit Patrick Mahomes and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chiefs</a>.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/what-happens-if-kansas-city-chiefs-lose-or-win-against-indianapolis-colts-in-week-12"></div>


<h2>The Colts are a Super Bowl contender</h2>



The secondary with Ward and Gardner should be one of the best in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. The Colts have a top 10 scoring defense and a top five rushing defense, they won’t allow points easily.



On offense, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/daniel-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Jones</a> appears to be a capable quarterback in Shane Steichen’s scheme. Jonathan Taylor is having a sensational season that could put him in Offensive Player of the Year contention, a star tight end in Tyler Warren and a plethora of quality receivers like Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Josh Downs.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> are trying to keep their playoff hopes alive after starting the season with a 5-5 record. They were considered <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> contenders by many experts, but as the weeks have passed, Andy Reid’s team has struggled to get going, and consecutive losses to the Bills and Broncos have left them on the ropes.



Meanwhile, the Colts are one of the biggest surprises in the NFL. With an 8-2 record, Indianapolis controls the AFC South and is competing for home-field advantage with the Patriots and Broncos. Because of this, Shane Steichen is a strong candidate for Coach of the Year.



So, in one of the most anticipated games on the schedule, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the Chiefs cannot afford to slip if they hope to make another championship run. Read here to find out what happens if Kansas City loses or wins against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12.



<h2>What happens if the Chiefs lose to the Colts?</h2>



If the Chiefs lose to the Colts in Week 12, Kansas City will fall to a 5-6 record, something almost no one expected before the season began. Then, as the No. 9 seed in the AFC, Kansas City would have to practically win all of their remaining games to keep their playoff hopes alive.


 

 


In case the Colts beat the Chiefs, the rest of the schedule would be an uphill battle. The remaining opponents for Patrick Mahomes’ team are the Cowboys, Texans, Chargers, Titans, Broncos, and Raiders.



The path to a very complicated Super Bowl run for Kansas City has to start at Arrowhead Stadium, and they would probably need an 11-6 record to feel safe. If the Chiefs shock the NFL with an impressive streak, anything could be possible in the playoffs.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-patrick-mahomes-reveals-whos-to-blame-for-andy-reids-chiefs-problems-on-offense"></div>


<h2>What happens if the Chiefs win against the Colts?</h2>



If the Chiefs win over the Colts, they would reach a 6-5 record and control their own destiny to make the playoffs. Kansas City would remain three games behind the Broncos in the AFC West, but the priority is securing a wild-card spot.



<h2>Are the Chiefs eliminated from playoffs with loss to the Colts?</h2>



The Chiefs would not be eliminated from the playoffs if they lose to the Colts, but according to NFL analytics, they would only have a 35% chance of making the postseason if they fall to a 5-6 record.



On the other hand, if they beat Indianapolis, Andy Reid’s team would have a 65% chance of making the playoffs and would remain in the race for a wild-card spot against teams like the Bills, Chargers, Jaguars, and Texans.

What happens if Chiefs lose or win with Colts?

What happens if Kansas City Chiefs lose or win against Indianapolis Colts in Week 12?

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Indianapolis Colts</a> have received a significant boost ahead of their Week 12 showdown against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/daniel-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Jones</a> has been dealing with an injury, yet he is set to play in a key match for his club.



Jones has been working his way back from a lingering fibula issue, and his potential return would be a major lift for an Indianapolis offense. The club unveiled on Friday’s injury report that the quarterback was a full participant, which means he is set to play this weekend.



This would definitely give Indianapolis a better chance of keeping pace with a high-powered Chiefs offense led by Mahomes — especially as Kansas City looks to rebound from an up-and-down stretch this season.



<h2>If Jones gets injured, the Colts are in serious trouble</h2>



Daniel Jones’ injury scare has undoubtedly raised alarms for the Colts. Even though he was listed as a full participant in Friday’s practice, Indianapolis needs him to stay healthy if the team hopes to remain a true contender in the AFC.



Earlier this year, the Colts placed Anthony Richardson on injured reserve as he recovers from an orbital fracture. While recent reports suggest that the young quarterback could return soon, he remains unavailable for now.



With Richardson still on IR, the Colts have only Riley Leonard backing up Jones on the active roster. The rookie, taken in the sixth round this year, is on the team for a reason — but he’s not the quarterback Indianapolis wants to rely on while carrying legitimate contender expectations.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/insider-reveals-daniel-jones-could-sign-100-million-deal"></div>


This week, the Colts face the Chiefs in a crucial matchup that could determine their playoff path. A win would all but basically secure Indianapolis a postseason berth, while a loss would complicate the AFC South club’s push for a spot in the next round.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Indianapolis Colts</a> will return to action on Sunday in a much-anticipated matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. While they aren’t as dominant as before, the Chiefs remain a dangerous opponent, and beating them would boost Indianapolis’ confidence for the remainder of the season.&nbsp;



After suffering a 27-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9, the Colts beat the Atlanta Falcons 31-25 in Week 10. They have won five of their last games and a win against the Chiefs would keep them in the race for the No. 1 seed in the AFC.&nbsp;



Kansas City is in the middle of a two-game losing streak. They have a 5-5 record and rank third in the AFC West division, trailing the Denver Broncos (9-2) and the Los Angeles Chargers (7-4).&nbsp;



<h2>Analyst predicts Colts will edge out Chiefs in Week 12</h2>



Despite living in different realities, many expect this game to be close. The Colts would reach a new level with a win, while the Chiefs would be one game below the .500 mark.&nbsp;There’s a lot at stake at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, but CBS Sports’ John Breech thinks the Colts will get a 27-24 win: 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251119_BUS_530409_reid-before-jaguars-game_dda89552.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Andy Reid before a game against the Jaguars." class="wp-image-509846" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Andy Reid before a game against the Jaguars.</figcaption></figure>



“The Colts have a chance to roll into Kansas City and deliver a knockout blow to the Chiefs’ division title chances while also putting their playoff hopes on life support. The Colts will be coming into this game off a bye, which means that the NFL’s leading rusher, Jonathan Taylor, will have had some time to rest his legs. Again, and I can’t repeat this enough, I hate picking against the Chiefs at home, but I can’t pick against the Colts here. Indiana Jones conquers Kansas City,” he said.



This game can change the trajectory of the season for each team, but the Chiefs are the ones with the most to lose.&nbsp;

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Indianapolis Colts</a> will have the chance to worsen the Kansas City Chiefs’ mini crisis with a win in Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season. The Colts entered their bye week after beating the Atlanta Falcons, 31-25, sharing the league-best record (8-2) with the New England Patriots before the AFC East squad beat the New York Jets on Thursday.&nbsp;



The Colts are one of the biggest stories in the league this season, whose reality contrasts with the Chiefs. Daniel Jones is playing at a high level, going 223 of 319 for 2,659 yards and 15 touchdowns against seven interceptions. He has added 40 carries for 143 yards and five touchdowns.&nbsp;



After beating the Denver Broncos in Week 2 and losing to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4, the Colts will face another big challenge in Week 12. The Chiefs will be the third AFC West team they face this campaign (they beat the Las Vegas Raiders 40-6 in Week 5 and the Los Angeles Chargers 38-24 in Week 7).&nbsp;



<h2>NFL analyst says Chiefs could miss playoffs with a loss to Colts&nbsp;</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>.com columnist Jeffri Chadiha previewed the Colts-Chiefs matchup, noting that after losing the last two games (28-21 against the Buffalo Bills and 22-19 against the Broncos), the Chiefs could see their playoff chances evaporate with a loss against the Colts.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/09151519/daniel-jones-1-2-1920x1080.webp" alt="Daniel Jones" class="wp-image-523574"></figure><figcaption>Daniel Jones #17.</figcaption></figure>



“Now comes [the Colts’] opportunity to make another huge statement in Kansas City against a Chiefs team that is facing real concerns,” Chadiha wrote. “The defending AFC champions have lost two straight games to championship contenders (Buffalo and Denver) to fall to 5-5. The Chiefs also are sitting in a crowded race for wild-card spots with Denver holding a huge advantage in the battle for the AFC West. In years past, the Chiefs have been used to vying for the top seed in the conference playoffs. If they lose to Indianapolis, there’s a real chance they could miss the postseason.”



Daniel Jones and Co. are on a roll. They have the tools to make life hard for many teams in the league. The Chiefs are always a challenge, but this time, the pressure is on Patrick Mahomes and Co. to win this game.&nbsp;

Daniel Jones has become one of the biggest stories of the 2025 NFL season. After a tumultuous six-year tenure with the New York Giants, the veteran quarterback joined the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Indianapolis Colts </a>in the offseason.&nbsp;



After winning the race to start in Indianapolis, Jones took the league by storm. He has led the Colts to an 8-2 record and the top seed in the AFC by playing at a high level behind an offensive line that does a solid job protecting him.&nbsp;



Jones’ remarkable performances have convinced the Colts that he is their franchise quarterback. They already moved on from Anthony Richardson and are now solely focused on retaining Jones for the long run.&nbsp;



<h2>Insider shares Daniel Jones’ potential payday with Colts&nbsp;</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> insider Jeremy Fowler listed Jones as the third-best free agent for the 2026 offseason. While noting that the Colts’ offense allows Jones to play at the best level, he added that the quarterback could emulate what Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold did in prior seasons.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251113_BUS_526445_Daniel-Jones-QB1-for-the-Indianapolis-Colts_51b72c15.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Daniel Jones, QB1 for the Indianapolis Colts" class="wp-image-522958"></figure></figure>



“Jones has a chance to become the biggest earner in the free agency class,” Fowler wrote. “The Colts appear all-in on keeping Jones long term, and they have comps for former top-10 picks who thrived when quarterbacking a new team: Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, who each earned three-year deals worth around $100 million. Jones would totally be justified asking for that … with interest.”



Coincidentally, Mayfield and Darnold bounced around the league trying to find their place. Mayfield settled with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Darnold with the Seattle Seahawks, landing big contracts in the process. Jones has the numbers to ask for something similar.&nbsp;

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Indianapolis Colts</a> (8-2) lead the AFC ahead of Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season. The AFC South team has surprised the entire league, as nobody pictured them leading their division, let alone the entire conference, after 10 weeks.&nbsp;



Daniel Jones has played his best football to date, going 223 of 319 for 2,659 yards and 15 touchdowns against seven interceptions. He has added 143 yards on 40 carries for five touchdowns.&nbsp;



Jonathan Taylor has taken the league by storm, as well, leading the league in carries (189), yards (1,139), and touchdowns (15) after 10 games. He has been a solid pass catcher, too, recording 30 receptions on 32 targets for 260 yards and two touchdowns.&nbsp;



The Colts have everything to shock the world this campaign and make a deep playoff run, but not everybody thinks they are capable of sustaining this level of performance for the rest of the season.&nbsp;



<h2>Analyst says Colts will lose AFC’s No. 1 seed to Chiefs&nbsp;</h2>



Ali Bhanpuri of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>.com predicts the Colts to deflate (no pun intended) a little in the second half of the season. The analyst believes Indianapolis will lose its No. 1 seed to the Kansas City Chiefs.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251113_BUS_526444_Daniel-Jones-QB1-for-the-Indianapolis-Colts_0d150475.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Daniel Jones, QB1 for the Indianapolis Colts" class="wp-image-522958"></figure></figure>



“Week 12 will go poorly for Indy. The Chiefs are 4-1 at Arrowhead this season, and, at 5-4 (2-3 in conference play), Kansas City will be desperate to secure more signature AFC wins,” Bhanpuri wrote.&nbsp;



Bhanpuri projects the Colts to finish with a 12-5 record and the No. 4 seed in the conference, behind the Chiefs (13-4), the New England Patriots (13-4) and the Baltimore Ravens (12-5).

“Yeah I mean, he’s been arrow up since he’s got here,” Steichen said of Pierce’s progress. “He’s making big-time plays down the field. His intermediate game is making big strides so he’s able to do a lot for us offensively – moving him around, trying to get certain matchups.”



Pierce is playing his fourth season in the league, and he’s just 14 receptions (41) and 27 targets (78) away from surpassing their best campaign. He has recorded 585 yards and one touchdown this season.&nbsp;

In a highly unpredictable finish, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Indianapolis Colts</a> proved that their current form is no fluke, defeating the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin. Daniel Jones was at the center of a bold play that ultimately determined his team’s fate in the game.



Down by three points with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter, Jones took a risk on fourth down, connecting successfully with Warren and giving his team the chance to kick a field goal, sending the game into overtime.



“Trying to take a shot there,” Jones said to the press. “Obviously, we’re in a tough spot. You don’t want to take sacks there in the two-minute situation. That’s something certainly look to correct, but at that point, you’re just trying to make a play. They got a lot of depth, were expecting us to take a shot, so stepped up and found some space.”



Taking that risk proved to be a successful move for Shane Steichen’s team, as they later went on to secure their eighth win of the season. On this play, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/daniel-jones">Jones</a> showed he’s fully committed to this team’s championship aspirations.

<h2>No longer a surprise</h2>



The Indianapolis Colts have dramatically vaulted themselves into the conversation for the top seed in the AFC, powered by their dominant 8-2 start. Leading the AFC South, the Colts boast an explosive offense that ranks first in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> in points scored and has effectively utilized the league-leading production of running back Jonathan Taylor. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/colts-add-new-wide-receiver-for-daniel-jones-ahead-of-matchup-with-falcons-in-berlin"></div>


Their defense, while often overlooked, has played complementary football, resulting in a +115 point differential, one of the best marks in the conference. With key wins already secured and a firm grip on their division, the Colts have solidified themselves as a dark-horse contender ready to challenge the established AFC powerhouses like the Chiefs and Bills for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.



<h2>What’s next for the Colts?</h2>



The Indianapolis Colts will look to solidify their AFC contender status as they enter a brutal two-game slate following their Week 11 bye. Their schedule immediately ramps up with a crucial road test on November 23rd, traveling to face the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium—a potential preview of the AFC Championship game. 



They then return home to Lucas Oil Stadium on November 30th for a vital AFC South clash against the division-rival Houston Texans. With a chance to prove their elite status on the national stage, this stretch will be the ultimate measuring stick for the Colts’ title aspirations.

The decision to stage the Indianapolis Colts versus the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons">Atlanta Falcons</a> in Berlin transcends the boundaries of sport. This Week 10 matchup rings in not just a game, but a deliberate step in the NFL’s bold push into a passionate market.



Berlin’s historic Olympiastadion Berlin, once host to the 1936 Olympics and home to NFL Europe’s echoes, now welcomes its first regular-season <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> game. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Colts</a> have been tapped as the home team for this landmark event.



Away from the field, there’s a commercial and cultural story in motion: connections between Indiana and Germany, falcons unfurling wings in Europe, fans converging from both sides of the Atlantic.



<h2>Why the NFL is planting its flag in Berlin’s Olympiastadion?</h2>



The decision to pit the Indianapolis Colts against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin for Week 10 is not just about scheduling an arbitrary international game; it is a calculated and deeply strategic move by the NFL to reinforce its commitment to a market it considers its top overall global frontier.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251109_BUS_522439_Daniel-Jones-1-1_0bd1a6b0.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-522458"></figure><figcaption>Daniel Jones #17 of the Indianapolis Colts in 2025.

Germany has firmly established itself as a key core of the league’s worldwide ambitions, boasting an estimated 20 million fans, a figure that highlights both its raw fan count and high market penetration relative to its population. 



Berlin’s inclusion is the culmination of a successful German push, following previous regular-season games in Munich and Frankfurt since 2022. This historic matchup at the Olympiastadion, a venue rich in sports history that hosted an NFL preseason game 35 years ago and was once home to the NFL Europe’s Berlin Thunder, marks a significant return to the German capital.



Crucially, the move to Berlin is part of a multi-year commitment, with the city slated to host games in a rotational cycle that includes 2027 and 2029, cementing Germany’s status as a permanent fixture on the league’s international calendar.



This long-term planning is about far more than just selling tickets; it is an effort to drive deeper, year-round engagement through programs like Flag Football and substantial community events, often supported by a $14.3 million investment from the city of Berlin itself for stadium upgrades and local development.
