Their offense was stuck in a rut, penalties were piling up, and the reigning AFC champions’ postseason hopes were growing ever dimmer.

In the fourth quarter and overtime, Patrick Mahomes and Co. finally resembled their old selves.

The two-time MVP threw for a season-high 352 yards while rallying the Chiefs (6-5) from an 11-point deficit, their defense forced Indianapolis (8-3) to go three-and-out on its final four possessions, and Harrison Butker banged through his fifth field goal of the game from 27 yards to give Kansas City a 23-20 victory that just might have kept its playoff hopes alive.
