NFL Week 12 grades: Chiefs earn ‘A-‘ with season-saving win, Lions get ‘B-‘ | CBS Sports

A- Chiefs
The Chiefs essentially needed this win to save their season and they got the victory by taking over in the second half. With the Chiefs trailing 20-9 in the fourth quarter, the defense took over by surrendering just 11 yards in the final quarter to allow Patrick Mahomes and the offense to get back in the game. Mahomes responded by totaling 145 yards in the fourth quarter that allowed the Chiefs to tie the game (He threw...

The closing moment of the Kansas City Chiefs’ 23-20 overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon was unfamiliar territory for this year’s Chiefs, because placekicker Harrison Butker’s field goal secured the season’s first one-score victory. Before then, Kansas City was 0-5 in such games.

It was also quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ first fourth-quarter comeback of 2025 after he led the NFL in that category (5) in 2024. He entered regulation’s final period 20-9, treading water against a strong defensive game plan from Indianapolis defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo.

After that, Mahomes completed 11 of 17 passes for 158 yards while...

On Thursday — Thanksgiving Day — the Kansas City Chiefs (6-5) will go on the road to play the Dallas Cowboys (5-5-1) in a Week 13 matchup. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Arrowhead Time on CBS — locally on KCTV/5.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Kansas City has opened as a 3.5 point favorite in the game.

In Week 12, the Chiefs opened as 3.5-point favorites against the Indianapolis Colts, ultimately winning that game 23-20 in overtime. The Cowboys are coming off a 24-21 win over the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

As the holiday season gets underway, the...

According to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, the Kansas City Chiefs are signing free agent running back Dameon Pierce. Schultz added that Pierce will start on Kansas City’s practice squad.

The Houston Texans made Pierce a fourth-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft. The former Florida Gator looked like a future star out of the gate, totaling 1,104 scrimmage yards with five touchdowns in 13 games as a rookie before suffering a season-ending ankle injury.

Pierce never regained his footing in Houston, accounting for only 812 total yards with four touchdowns over his next two seasons. After dressing for only four...

Although the Kansas City Chiefs snatched a much-needed 23-20 overtime victory against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon, they did not avoid injuries.

Guard Trey Smith limped off the field in the first half. He was seen getting his ankle taped before re-entering the game. But at the start of the second half, though, the team ruled him out with an ankle injury.

Later in the game, defensive back Christian Roland-Wallace was ruled out with a back issue.

On Kansas City’s final drive of regulation, tight end Noah Gray took a frightening shot while coming down with an important third-down...

On Sunday afternoon, the Kansas City Chiefs survived in overtime to beat the Indianapolis Colts 23-20, pushing their record to 6-5 and avoiding a three-game losing streak.

Patrick Mahomes overcame discomfort caused by Lou Anarumo

Going into the game, it was widely believed that former Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo — who is now leading the Indianapolis defense — would make things difficult for Mahomes and the Kansas City offense. That narrative was borne out for much of this matchup.

It started right away: on the second play of the Chiefs’ opening drive, Kansas City’s quarterback faked a...

Facing pressure like an NFL playoff game in Week 12, the Kansas City Chiefs scored 14 unanswered fourth-quarter points to claim a 23-20 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday afternoon, advancing to 6-5 and keeping their playoff hopes alive.

First quarter

Indianapolis opened at its own 25-yard line after receiving the kickoff and moved into neutral field position before penalties stalled the series. Quarterback Daniel Jones opened with a 6-yard throw to wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. to the Colts’ 48-yard line (13:02). Running back Jonathan Taylor’s right-end run...

For the NFL’s Week 12, the (5-5) Kansas City Chiefs are hosting the (8-2) Indianapolis Colts on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs are hoping to rebound from bitter back-to-back losses to the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos. In all probability, they’ve played themselves out of their chance to win a 10th consecutive AFC West title, but can still reach the playoffs by being close to perfect in the final seven weeks of the season. That challenge begins against the Colts, who are coming into Kansas City on the heels of their bye week.

The Kansas City Chiefs have released their list of inactive players for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Despite wide receiver Xavier Worthy being listed as questionable with an ankle issue on Friday’s injury report, the second-year pro will go — confirming a report early on Sunday from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Guard Kingsley Suamataia also drew the questionable tag while working his way through league concussion protocol. He is active, meaning he has been cleared by the team’s independent neurological consultant.

On Friday, the Chiefs confirmed that running back Isiah Pacheco would miss in third straight game while recovering...

Before the Kansas City Chiefs met the Denver Broncos in the NFL’s Week 11, every member of our Arrowhead Pride panel picked the Chiefs to win. For the second straight week — and the fourth time this season — every one of them guessed wrong, and our aggregate prediction for a 24-15 Kansas City win carried 24 points of error* compared to the 22-19 loss. Our readers were much less convinced. Almost one third picked Denver to win — most calling for a close game.

*In Week 12, the Chiefs host the Indianapolis Colts on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium....

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs face the Indianapolis Colts. We welcome Chris Shepherd of Stampede Blue— our sister SB Nation site covering the Broncos— for Five Questions with the Enemy.

1. How surprised are Colts fans by the team’s success this season?

Not a single honest Colts fan will tell you that they saw this coming. But what I can honestly say is that I’ve long believed that general manager Chris Ballard has consistently built rosters that were ready to win with adequate quarterback play. The Colts finally have that — and this is the most complete...
