What happened: Patrick Mahomes and wide receiver Josh Downs spoke publicly about their new offensive partnership following Downs' midseason move from the Indianapolis Colts. Downs noted his long-standing admiration for the quarterback as he begins acclimating to Kansas City's system.

Why it matters: Kansas City acquired Downs to add perimeter depth for the stretch run, sending two draft picks to Indianapolis at the deadline. The trade signaled a transition for the 2-7 Colts following a five-game slide, having previously faced Kansas City in a September overtime matchup.

What to watch: Downs will work toward his Kansas City debut as the coaching staff works him into the weekly rotation. The Colts look to halt their five-game losing streak in their next regular-season matchup.
