Quarterback Bryce Young led the Panthers to an 11-point comeback to tie the game up at 27 apiece with under two minutes remaining. But Mahomes did his thing, leading Kansas City to a game-winning drive, which ended with a go-ahead field goal as time expired.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spoke with reporters on Tuesday about the challenges and injuries the team has faced so far this season. He discussed his leadership during tough times and his trust in his teammates.

Young, Mahomes’ counterpart for Sunday’s showdown against the Carolina Panthers, put in one heck of a performance in Week 12. Despite his team taking a 30-27 loss to the defending champs, the 23-year-old gained the respect of many with a confident and sharp 263-yard passing performance.
