Kansas City improves to 10-1 on the season


Ten yards into a scramble, Patrick Mahomes could have easily slid for a first down or simply ducked out of bounds and moved on to the next play.Instead, the three-time Super Bowl MVP cut back inside and raced another 23 yards up the field, helping to set up Spencer Schrader’s 31-yard field goal as time expired as the Chiefs held on to beat the Carolina Panthers 30-27 on Sunday.“At that point, yards are more important than getting out of bounds,” Mahomes said. “With three timeouts, I just tried to just cut through and Justin Watson had a great block and was able to get down the field and get out of bounds.”The game-winning drive was the 21st of Mahomes’ career, and the Chiefs won a game decided in the final seconds for the fifth time this season. Eight of the Chiefs’ wins have come by one-score margins.“You always want to have some blowouts and be a little calmer in the fourth quarter, but I’ve always said it could be a good thing when you get to the playoffs later in the season knowing that you have been in those moments before, and knowing how to attack it play by play not making it too big of a moment,” Mahomes said.Chiefs-Panthers fourth quarter:0:00: Spencer Shrader nails the game-winning field goal and the Chiefs are 10-1. The field goal capped off a 7-play, 57-yard drive. 1:50: The Panthers have tied the game, executing a 5-play, 49-yard drive, capped by a 1-yard touchdown run by Chuba Hubbard. Key moments included two defensive pass interference penalties on the Chiefs, one of which moved Carolina to the Kansas City 1-yard line. Young connected on a key 13-yard completion to Adam Thielen on 4th & 3. After the touchdown, Hubbard powered through for a successful two-point conversion. 4:36: The Chiefs’ defense holds Carolina.
