STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES - Chiefs have lost six of last seven in series, including twice in playoffs. ... Kansas City's last win in series, 28-24 in 2011, is franchise's only win in Indianapolis. ... Chiefs are tied for second in NFL with 14 takeaways, have plus-7 turnover margin and have scored 41 points off takeaways. ... Kansas City has six defensive TDs since 2015, No. 1 in NFL. ... CB Marcus Peters has five interceptions this season and 13 during first two seasons in NFL. ... Kansas City is tied with San Diego for fewest penalties (33). ... Chiefs RB Spencer Ware averages 129.5 yards from scrimmage, No. 3 in NFL. He also averages 5.18 yards per carry, fifth in league. ... QB Alex Smith has had passer rating of 100-plus three times this season and 29 times in career. He is 28-1 in those games. ... Smith and Colts QB Andrew Luck were both No. 1 overall draft picks. ... Luck orchestrated second-largest comeback in playoff history (28-point deficit) in last meeting and is on career-best pace with only four interceptions in seven games. ... Colts have allowed league-high 25 sacks, with at least two in every game this season. ... K Adam Vinatieri has made NFL-record 43 consecutive field goals. ... WR T.Y. Hilton is ranked among AFC leaders in receptions (45) and yards receiving (689), a pace that would easily give him career highs in both. .... Hilton needs one 100-yard game to pass Marvin Harrison (21) for most 100-yard games in first five seasons of Colts career. ... OLB Robert Mathis got first sack of season in Week 6 vs. Houston and scored first career touchdown in Week 7 to clinch win over Titans. ... Two weeks ago, RB Frank Gore ended Colts' 55-game streak without 100-yard rusher. On Sunday, he can become first Indy player to run for 100 yards at Lucas Oil Stadium in 28 games, dating to Week 15 in 2012. ... Fantasy Tip: Colts TE Jack Doyle already has 29 catches for 282 yards and four TDs - all career highs. With starting TE Dwayne Allen (right ankle) still out, expect Luck to look frequently for Doyle against Chiefs' susceptible pass defense.
