The Kansas City Chiefs, who finished the 2024 season as the AFC’s top seed with a 15-2 record, will host the Indianapolis Colts (8-9 last season) in a conference matchup with playoff implications. The Chiefs enter the game looking to extend their dominance in the series, having won four of the last five meetings between the two teams, including a 37-20 victory earlier this season.
The Colts’ challenge is heightened by the absence of Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, who remains on injured reserve with a neck injury. Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday, November 23rd, at 1:00 PM ET. The game airs regionally on CBS and streams live on Paramount+.
