Quarterback Alex Smith turned in a playoff performance better than Joe Montana ever did in a Kansas City Chiefs uniform. It was better than any playoff performance by Chiefs legend Len Dawson, too. Smith's 378-yard, four-touchdown performance was good enough to help the Chiefs build a 28-point third-quarter lead over the Colts in Indianapolis. But it wasn't good enough to help Kansas City win the game, as the Colts rallied to win 45-44. Only the 1992 Buffalo Bills had blown a bigger playoff lead. After Kansas City went up 38-10 early in the second half, the Chiefs' defense allowed touchdown drives of 80, 41, 80, 90 and 80 yards. The Colts didn't even need the whole game to come back, taking the lead with four minutes left. Smith had one opportunity to save the Chiefs. On fourth-and-11 from the Colts' 43, he connected with Dwayne Bowe inside the 20. There was just one problem. Bowe's second foot came down out of bounds, ending the drive. "Sometimes the game speaks for itself," said coach Andy Reid, "so you don't have to say a whole lot."
