Offensive plays Colts 50 Chiefs 91.
Passing yards Colts 181 Chiefs 346(so much for that much vaunted Gardner Ward combo).
Rushing yards Colts 74 Chiefs 148
First downs Colts 10 Chiefs 33.
Time of possession Colts 25:28 Chiefs 42:35.

In reality, we should have lost this game by 2+ touchdowns. Thats concerning. We really got dominated outside of a couple of flukey plays.

I disagree with this. We should not have "lost this game by 2+ TDs", the defense for most of the game allowed the Chiefs to get yards, but didn't allow them to convert in the redzone. That's a skill that many championship caliber defenses possess. Hell, the reason they even had the ability to force OT with a FG was because they forced the first Colts FG in a Goal to Go situation this season. The passing game needs better built in answers for the blitz, but this team definitely hung with the 3 time defending AFC Champions in their own building. The Texans and Jaguars will not pose nearly this many problems.
