Why There is No Quit in the Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs entered Week 12 with their backs against the wall. The Indianapolis Colts had been playing some of the best football in the National Football League entering the game, but when it was all said and done, it was the Chiefs who needed the victory way more than the visiting Colts. It wasn't the prettiest game to say the least, for the Chiefs through the first three quarters of the game. Going into the fourth, down 20-9, the narrative of the 2025 Chiefs had been that they couldn't win a one-score game, unlike how well they did in the same scenarios in 2024, yet they found a way. Dropping 14 points in the fourth quarter and overtime combined, the Chiefs secured the victory and kept their playoff hopes alive. As a franchise that could have given up through the first three quarters, down 20-9, it's becoming clear that this team embodies zero quit. Analyst's ThoughtsRich Eisen discussed the Chiefs' Week 12 win on his show, explaining why he has yet to give up faith in this Chiefs team.

With the season on the line, they found a way to do it because they have the people, and they've been there and they've done it. They said to the Colts, "Guess what, man? You're up 20 to nine. We're going to blank you the rest of the way into overtime. We're going to win this thing 14 to nothing from here on out." That's what they did," Eisen said. "The Colts punted four times, the Chiefs just once. Total yards, fourth quarter in overtime in this game. The Chiefs had 236. The Colts,18. That's it."Nov 23, 2025; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Kansas City Chiefs place kicker Harrison Butker (7) kicks a field goal against the Indianapolis Colts in the second quarter at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Cowboys are riding a two-game winning streak going into the game as well.

While the AFC West division might be a long shot, the Chiefs just have to find a way to get in. And that embodies zero quit.
