The Chiefs have got closer than anyone else over the last 3 years, even though we were playing a QB in first game, our only good receiver is a rookie, and the right side of the offensive line is amongst the worst in NFL history. We were widely picked to win about 4 games this year.
The Colts get 2-3 interceptions / strip sacks at home in virtually all games. Check the boxscores. We held them to 1 in this game, and we had a chance. If we aired it out, there would have been more turnovers and we would not have had a chance. The percentages are very clear on this.

We have the final possession of the first half and Indy gets the ball first in the 2nd half.
So what do we do? With 1:15 remaining and 3 TOs, we run out the clock. Gutless. I agree, we don't need 45 passing attempts, but that just says "surrender".
