#Colts run zone coverage at highest rate in the league.
#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes played 5 games vs teams that run zone at top-8 frequencies this season, completing 64.1% of his passes at 7.99 yards per attempt with a perfect 14:0 TD-to-INT ratio against them.

Colts will have to mix in a lot more man this week to have a chance. Luckily the corners have been playing a lot better lately. Gives me some hope that Desir, Moore, and Wilson can at least slow KC and give the pass rush a chance.
EDIT: Actually, the TD:INT rate is the only thing that stands out for Maholmes against zone. His yearly numbers for completion % and YPA were actually better.
