International viewers outside the United States, Canada and China can watch through NFL Game Pass International where available.

Who Is Calling Colts-Chiefs?

NBC’s lead Sunday Night Football crew will handle the game:

Mike Tirico — play-by-play
Cris Collinsworth — analyst
Melissa Stark — sideline reporter

Why Colts-Chiefs Is Worth Watching

Kansas City enters Week 2 at 1-0 after beating Denver 31-10 in its opener, while Indianapolis is trying to rebound from a 41-23 home loss to Baltimore.

The quarterback matchup features Patrick Mahomes against Daniel Jones, but Kansas City’s biggest Week 1 development may have been the emergence of Kenneth Walker III as a major part of the offense. NBC highlighted Mahomes and Walker as the Chiefs’ headline players entering Sunday night.

Indianapolis will counter with Jonathan Taylor, who rushed 19 times for 98 yards and two touchdowns against Baltimore while also catching three passes for 23 yards.

The Colts have also historically played Kansas City well. Sunday will be the 25th regular-season meeting between the teams, with Indianapolis holding a 14-10 advantage in the series. Kansas City won their most recent meeting 23-20 in overtime last season.

How to Listen to Colts vs. Chiefs

In Indianapolis, the Colts radio broadcast will air on 93.5 and 107.5 The Fan, 97.1 HANK FM and the Ascension St. Vincent Radio Network. Matt Taylor handles play-by-play with Charles Arbuckle as analyst and Larra Overton reporting from the sideline.

Kansas City’s local radio broadcast is available through 96.5 The Fan, with additional Spanish-language coverage through Tico Sports.
