Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid highlighted his team's impressive resilience after their overtime triumph over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. Reid emphasized the team's ability to overcome setbacks without succumbing to frustration, noting a critical moment in overtime.
During overtime, a long reception by the Colts' Laquon Treadwell was initially ruled a fumble but was overturned upon review. This allowed Indianapolis to retain possession and subsequently tie the game with a field goal. However, the Chiefs' defense made crucial stops to set up their offense.

This victory was particularly significant for the Chiefs, who had struggled in close games the previous season, marking an ideal start to their current campaign.
