Valid point. This is actually the Colts third game on the road. They played the Titans in, essentially, a playoff game to get in.
If the Colts season ended Saturday, we'd be disappointed but the season would still be a success. We were not supposed to be in the playoffs. We were not supposed to have a good team until next year. The Colts are playing loose with minimal pressure. It sounds like you guys have a lot of pressure to win a playoff game where we're just looking to beat the Chiefs. I don't know if that will have any impact at all.

The only reason there's any pressure on the Chiefs is because of the home playoff history. And honestly, that's just the fans. The team isn't thinking about it considering many of them weren't even here when they happened. Heck, Mahomes wasn't even BORN when they choked against the Colts the first time.
If it weren't for that, the Chiefs too are playing with house money. Given how everything has played out, it's obvious that even the coaching staff thought this was going to be a learning year for Mahomes. He's WAY ahead of schedule, which means all the pressure is off. He's 23. This isn't your typical #1 seed.
