The Indianapolis Colts went down early against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football in Week 5. Jacoby Brissett fought back.

Kansas City scored a field goal on the opening drive of the game. Indianapolis responded quickly.

The Colts drove down the field in short order. In 11 plays they drove 70 yards and found themselves in the end zone.

It was quarterback Jacoby Brissett who scored the touchdown.

The quarterback scrambled and ran to the right side. He snuck in for a one yard touchdown.

That one-yard touchdown gave Indianapolis an early lead. However, this is the Chiefs that we're talking about. A 7-3 lead really isn't much to them.

Kansas City quickly went down the field themselves and scored a touchdown of their own. That led to a 10-7 led for the Chiefs.

The Colts responded themselves and tied the game up with a field goal, making it 10-10 early in the second quarter.

Expect a lot more of this. The Chiefs are obviously the most electric offense in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Colts are no slackers either. Brissett has been a very good quarterback for them this year. He's held them above water despite many expecting them to fall off a cliff after the surprising retirement of Andrew Luck.

At 2-2, this would be a major win for Indianapolis. Can they find a way to slow down the Kansas City offense while scoring a ton themselves though?

That remains to be seen, but for now just enjoy the fun back-and-forth going on at the moment. Brissett's definitely ready for a fun matchup as he showed off his athleticism for the first touchdown of the game.
