The Indianapolis Colts might need to make things done and dirty versus the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in Week 2 to get a victory. That doesn't necessarily mean having to play in the mud, though. The question is whether it will rain or not in KC. The answer is...maybe?
Rain and, more importantly, storms are very possible in Kansas City close to the end of the game. What no one knows is how quickly the rain will come. Weather doesn't abide by NFL rules, of course, so while the league might not want thunder and lightning to become very, very frightening near the end of the game, it could.
According to AccuWeather, heavier rain and thunder are expected to happen at 1 am CT. The game between Indy and KC won't stop until maybe 10:30 pm CT. That is a tight window for the weather gods to say, "Whoa! OK...because there is a football game, we will hold off."
There is a chance of rain when the Indianapolis Colts play the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2
Those gods certainly won't care about when the rain and lightning begin, as they might have a party to go to. Sure, late Sunday is a silly time to have a party, but then that presumption is our fault. We don't know where the weather gods live and sleep or whether they even follow sports.
In essence, the chance of rain isn't extremely high during Sunday Night Football, but those who predict the weather are still saying there is a chance. Moreover, late in the game might be when the lightning starts, and that could impact kicker Spencer Shrader of the Blake Grupe Shraders making a kick from 56 yards away to send the Indianapolis Colts to 1-1.
Head coach Shane Steichen certainly needs that to happen. He is trying to feed his family, after all (assuming Steichen has a family, because it seems rude to try to pry into his personal life when all he is attempting to do is coach a football team); he needs to get those victories and make the playoffs to make sure he doesn't get terminated during or after the 2026 season.
That all might come down to Spencer Shrader of the Blake Grupe Shraders focusing on where the ball is put at the 46-yard line as he approaches to convert a kick to give the Indianapolis Colts a victory. Just before he does that, perhaps lightning strikes and causes a pause in play. It's possible, but not likely, according to AccuWeather.
