Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs authored yet another comeback win on Sunday, and this one was the most important of the season so far. Kansas City trailed the visiting Colts, 20-9, in the fourth quarter and seemed on the verge of falling below .500. When running back Kareem Hunt fumbled the ball at Indianapolis’s goal line the wind was completely taken out of the Chiefs’ sails and Arrowhead Stadium was silent.
Then something happened, a moment Mahomes would call “special” after the game. It reinvigorated the fans, the Chiefs, and in Mahomes’s view swung the outcome of the game.
