A brief lookahead to Week 5's Kansas City-Indianapolis game:

1. Both of these teams made the playoffs last year and both are unlikely to return. The Colts (0-4), reeling from a number of injuries on both sides of the ball, will start QB Curtis Painter in place of the injured Kerry Collins, who was acquired to replace the injured Peyton Manning. The Chiefs (1-3) have also been ravaged by injuries, losing their best defensive player in S Eric Berry and their best offensive player in RB Jamaal Charles.

2. This game will go a long way towards deciding who will be first in line for Stanford QB Andrew Luck's services come April. Painter was okay in his debut last week, completing 13 of 30 passes for 281 yards and two TDs in a loss to the Bucs. But Indy crumbled late as Painter completed four of 10 and was sacked three times in the fourth quarter. If the Colts lose, they look like frontrunners for the No. 1 pick.

3. Chiefs RB Thomas Jones has done nothing to prove that he isn't completely over the hill during increased playing time after RB Jamaal Charles' season-ending injury. Jones, who topped 1,400 yards in 2009, has averaged 2.8 yards per carry on 39 attempts this season. He and fellow RB Dexter McCluster meet a Colts defense that is 28th against the run and without MLB Gary Brackett and DT Eric Foster, who are each out for the season with injury.
