Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes makes NFL history against Colts
The Kansas City Chiefs entered Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts at 5-5, sitting third in the AFC West behind the Denver Broncos (9-2) and Los Angeles Chargers (7-4).
The Colts, meanwhile, were one of the AFC’s hottest teams at 8-2, led by quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Jonathan Taylor.
At halftime, Indianapolis held a 14-6 lead, capitalizing on Patrick Mahomes’ early interception, who finished the half with 14-of-21 passing for 117 yards and one interception.
However, the biggest headline came in the second quarter, when Mahomes reached 35,000 career passing yards, becoming the fastest player in NFL history to achieve the milestone.

Since being drafted 10th overall in 2017, Mahomes has become the face of the league, now boasting more than 35,000 passing yards along with over 260 passing touchdowns across nine NFL seasons.
Over that span, he has earned two NFL MVPs, three Super Bowl MVPs, three Super Bowl titles, and six Bro Bowl selections.
In 2018, his first year as the Chiefs’ full-time starter, he became just the second player in league history to throw for more than 5,000 yards (5,097) and 50 touchdowns (50), alongside Colts legend Peyton Manning.
Sunday’s performance also moved Mahomes inside the top 35 all-time in career passing yards.

Heading into Week 12, Mahomes ranked fifth in passing yards (2,625) and seventh in touchdowns (18), along with just six interceptions and the third-best QBR (72.7) this season.
He was previously listed as the odds-on favorite to win the MVP, but back-to-back losses to the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos have slowed momentum and quickly put the Chiefs’ season in jeopardy.
After Indianapolis, Kansas City will travel to Dallas for a primetime Thanksgiving game against the Cowboys on November 27.
The Chiefs then face the Texans at Arrowhead, host the Chargers, visit the Titans in Tennessee, return home against the Broncos, and finish the stretch on the road in Las Vegas.
With three of these being key divisional matchups, Kansas City will need Mahomes to keep producing at a high level to keep their playoff hopes alive.

New bridge over 96th Street adds to Nickel Plate Trail connections
FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) — The Nickel Plate Trail pedestrian bridge over 96th Street is officially open.
It was being touted Friday as a major milestone for central Indiana’s growing trail system. The street is the Fishers-Indianapolis border.
Leaders called the project a critical connection point for the Nickel Plate Trail. The new bridge helps move the nearly 17-mile trail closer to its goal of connecting multiple counties through one continuous path.
The bridge also came with a 1.3-mile trail extension. A $4.5 million grant from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources made the bridge possible.
Dale Brier, deputy director of Indiana Department of Natural Resources, talked about the state’s Next Level Trails grant program. “Currently, we have 89 trail projects that that were funded with that money. Fifty-nine of those are complete. We’ve got 12 under construction. As of this opening, we have 167 miles of trail that have now been opened with that grant money.”
People who frequently take the trail for their daily exercises say they’re excited the bridge is finally open.
Alan Errichiello of the Fishers Running Club said, “Extending this down south into Indianapolis is a big game changer for us. It’ll add a lot of miles that we can easily get into.”
Resident Tracy Mundell said, “Trying to get to the other side was nearly impossible, so I think most people didn’t even attempt it. It’s going to be great, we can get over to the other side, and I’m anxious to see what’s over there.”
The final portion of the project, called the Clear Path project, remains under construction.
Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, a Republican, said, “We need to double-down on that investment, and we know time and time again here in the city of Fishers that trail systems, the ability to get up and get out and get active, is such an important part in our culture of health, that an investment like this is critical.”
Once complete, local leaders say the goal is to provide a more safe and connected routes between Noblesville, Fishers, Indianapolis and other surrounding cities.
Resident Steve Mundell said, “It’s lovely. It’ll be real convenient to get across too.”

What grades did the Indianapolis Colts earn on the 2026 NFLPA report cards?
The NFLPA is no longer able to make their annual report cards public. However, ESPN’s Kayln Kahler was able to obtain a copy of the reports following the 2025 NFL season, and the Indianapolis Colts were again around the middle of the pack.
In these report cards, players rate numerous aspects of the organizations they play for, from ownership to the training facilities and everything in between. According to Kahler, 1,759 players contributed to these grades.
So, where did the Colts end up this year relative to the rest of the NFL this year?
