Or if the Colts defense turns in a solid bend, don’t break performance. I’ll be fine with a few long Chiefs drives that end in 3 rather than 7. That could even out or sway TOP to the Chiefs, but would still be a positive for the Colts.

My goal for the defense: get at least 7 combined turnovers, punts, or field goals forced. Do that, and I think they win.

Yep, they'll have the field cleared. I doubt it will be any issue at all.

Care to elaborate?

It will be colder than shit. They are a finesse team. How is it that when the Colts were a finesse team (not any more thankfully) we would freak out at having to pass a ball that is frozen and hard to catch but it's no big deal for KC now? Cold hurts finesse teams and empowers offensive lines like ours. It should give us an advantage (not a huge one but an advantage never the less)

They get to practice in the cold all week, they live there, it’ll be their home crowd, etc

I agree that it’s a lazy narrative, though. As I recall, I remember from a few years back that the Vikings would struggle in the cold on road games. I think it’s just a matter of going to a road environment that’s drastically different than what you’re used to (like how the Patriots have only won once in Miami since 2013).
