My honest thinking is that Chiefs fans overrate the Colts because of how they’ve beaten them.
Because the stats & facts don’t seem to mesh with how highly Chiefs fans think of them.

They don't blitz much. In fact, they have one of the lowest blitz percentages in the league. They do get a very high number of pressures/QB hits though. And sacks aren't an indicator of how the rush affects the passer. As we saw in the Chiefs/Bills game earlier this year. Showing pressure and creating chaos along the OL is all that's necessary to effect the passer.
As for how Chiefs view the Colts, i can't speak for everyone else on CP. I know I'm not scared of IND, but we've seen them often enough in the last three seasons(?) to have a pretty good idea of what they bring defensively. They have a core of very good players, and a DC that is one of the better defensive minds in the game. They're pretty well coached and they have stars sprinkled throughout their front and at LB.
But I think they're starting CB Ya-Sin is OUT for this game, which is a pretty big hole for them.
