Mahomes has credited the Chiefs’ home-ground advantage as being crucial in their overtime win against the Indianapolis Colts.

He led an impressive comeback after half-time against the Colts to come away with a 23-20 win.

Tight end Travis Kelce, 30, was denied a touchdown after the franchise were controversially called back for a penalty.

Kareem Hunt, 30, scored a fourth-quarter touchdown to keep the Chiefs in contention.

Then kicker Harrison Butker, 30, sealed the game for the hosts with his 27-yard field goal during overtime.

This has been crucial as it keeps the franchise’s playoff dreams alive.

“This is exactly what we needed,” Mahomes said. “You could have folded in that situation, but guys responded and found a way to win.”

“Then there was like a feeling that you had in Arrowhead. You could see the fans were behind us.”

Teammate Kelce has praised Mahomes after leading the Chiefs to victory despite being behind all game.

Mahomes made 29 completions for 352 yards against the Colts.

He has suggested that the belief from Chiefs’ fans was key to the win.

“They said, ‘We’re going to be there with y’all’ — through the end, through this all,” Mahomes continued. “I thought that was really cool.”

His praise of the Arrowhead Stadium crowd comes as the Chiefs are considering relocating.

The Chiefs are in talks to leave the Arrowhead to cross state lines for a new $2 billion stadium.

This would see the franchise leave Missouri for Kansas City, Kansas, around 30 miles away.

They have been located at Arrowhead Stadium since moving from the Municipal Stadium in 1972.

The Chiefs were founded as the Dallas Texans in 1960 before moving to Missouri three years later.

Mahomes’ Chiefs will return to their former home city as they face the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday for a Thanksgiving Day clash.
