Carolina Panthers vs Kansas City Chiefs: Box score, players stats, and summary feat. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce
The Carolina Panthers hosted the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. The Panthers entered this game with a two-game winning streak, and it was the first time that they have won back-to-back games since Bryce Young was drafted.
Last week, the Chiefs suffered their first loss of the season. Patrick Mahomes and his teammates will be determined to rebound from their loss to the Buffalo Bills and get back on track.
Noah Gray once again scored two touchdowns and helped the Chiefs build a 20-9 lead at halftime. Young looked solid in the first half against the defending Super Bowl champions, and that is a huge positive sign for the Panthers.
The Panthers put up an impressive fight in the fourth quarter, but the Chiefs ended up winning the game 30-27.

Panthers vs Chiefs summary
The Chiefs completely led for the majority of the game, but the Panthers scored 11 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to tie the game. Unsurprisingly, with less than two minutes left on the clock, Patrick Mahomes led another game-winning touchdown drive.
The Chiefs quarterback made plays with his arms and legs to put the team in a field goal position. He arguably had his best game of the season and looked flawless after a disappointing loss to the Bills.
Spencer Schrader, who was signed after Harrison Butker's injury, converted a 31-yard game-winning field goal to give Kansas City its 10th win of the season.
The Chiefs will play the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday this upcoming week and will aim to complete to go 2-0 against one of their biggest rivals this season.
Bryce Young and the Panthers surprised everyone today and took a big step in the other right direction. Dave Canales, the Panthers' head coach, should be proud of his team's performance as they came very close to getting a result against the reigning back-to-back Super Bowl champions.
Carolina is now 3-7 on the season and will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week. No matter what their record is at the end of the season, the team will be more than happy if Young continues to play like he has done over the last few weeks and solidify himself as the franchise quarterback.
