Today’s matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers delivered several of the electric plays that fans have come to expect from the defending Super Bowl champions.
Kansas City’s bounce-back effort against Carolina resulted in a much-needed win after the Chiefs lost to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.
The Panthers could not contain Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City’s offense on the game’s final drive, and a last-second field goal by kicker Spencer Shrader sealed a 30-27 for the Chiefs.
Mahomes didn’t neglect his receivers against Carolina and threw for 269 yards and three touchdowns. Backup tight end Noah Gray was on the receiving end of two touchdown passes from Mahomes, and veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins scored the third.
The Chiefs’ defense held its own against the Panthers’ surging air attack. Defensive back Nazeeh Johnson made his presence felt in the game and led Kansas City’s defense with eight combined tackles.
Take a look at all of the top plays from the Chiefs’ road win against Carolina in Week 12:
