Colts...13 Chiefs...10

INDIANAPOLIS — Adam Vinatieri eventually found redemption.

Booed by the Indianapolis crowd Sunday after missing his first two field-goal tries against Kansas City, and the subject of criticism all week after missing a chip shot that would have beaten San Diego a week earlier, Vinatieri finally showed how he earned his reputation as the NFL’s best clutch kicker, making a 24-yard field goal with four seconds left to give the Colts a badly needed 13-10 victory over the Chiefs.

The win ended a two-game losing streak for the Colts (8-2) and kept them atop the AFC South.

Kansas City (4-6) lost its third straight game in Brodie Croyle’s first career start.

For Vinatieri, it was a roller-coaster day. He was booed mildly when he tried a 49-yard field goal, a chorus that grew louder when he missed it to the right. The boo birds were even louder after Vinatieri pulled a 38-yarder.

Quoteworthy: “Every time you’re out there, if something bad happens, you’ve got to be able to shrug it off and go back out there and forget about it if you can.” -- Adam Vinatieri, Colts kicker
