Mahomes Leads Chiefs to Narrow Victory Over Panthers

Patrick Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to a narrow 30-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers, showcasing his versatility with both passing and rushing plays. Mahomes threw three touchdown passes, including two to Noah Gray, who has become a significant offensive asset, surpassing Travis Kelce's season total. Mahomes' critical 33-yard scramble in the final minute set up the game-winning field goal by Spencer Shrader, marking Mahomes' 21st career game-winning drive. This victory also saw Mahomes tie Len Dawson's franchise record for career touchdown passes, further cementing his legendary status within the Chiefs organization. Despite a solid performance from Panthers' QB Bryce Young, the Chiefs' experience in close games and Mahomes' leadership proved decisive.
