Chiefs regain lead with fourth-down touchdown after deep pass

Kansas City took a 24-20 lead with 8:01 left in the third quarter after quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed a 45-yard pass to Tyquan Thornton and then delivered a one-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Royals on fourth down. The scoring drive covered 80 yards over 14 plays and included two successful fourth-down conversions. The first conversion came on fourth-and-1 when nose tackle Khyiris Tonga, positioned as a fullback, ran for a three-yard gain. After the deep throw to Thornton on third-and-11 from Indianapolis' 46-yard line, the Colts stopped the Chiefs on three consecutive runs from the 1-yard line before Mahomes rolled right and found Royals for the score. Mahomes has completed 18 of 25 passes for 188 yards and three touchdowns. Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward is listed as questionable with a groin injury.
