In a Week 12 showdown, the undefeated Carolina Panthers asserted their dominance, overpowering the Kansas City Chiefs 48-17. Quarterback Bryce Young showcased exceptional accuracy, going 15/20 for 288 yards and an impressive 7 touchdowns, earning a remarkable passer rating of 156.20. Running back Chuba Hubbard contributed significantly with 107 rushing yards and a touchdown on 20 carries.

 

Tragically, the Panthers faced a setback in the first quarter when running back Elijah Mitchell suffered a turf toe injury, forcing him out of the game. Despite this setback, the Panthers continued to shine, with Jerry Jeudy leading the receiving corps with 101 yards and 3 touchdown receptions.

 

On the defensive side, safety Jeremy Chinn led the Panthers with 4 tackles, contributing to a solid defensive effort. The Chiefs, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, struggled to match the Panthers' intensity, with Mahomes finishing 18/29 for 224 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception.

 

Kansas City's rushing attack was led by Snoop Conner, who managed 7 yards and a touchdown on 5 carries. However, it wasn't enough to overcome the Panthers' strong offensive and defensive performance.

 

Wide receiver Skyy Moore was a standout for the Chiefs with 99 receiving yards, while tight end Travis Kelce added 81 yards and a touchdown.

 

The Panthers' kicker, Eddy Pineiro, had a perfect game, converting all extra points and field goals, contributing to their commanding victory.

 

Despite the injury to Elijah Mitchell, the Carolina Panthers maintain their undefeated record at 11-0-0, leaving a significant mark in the 2024 regular season. The Chiefs, now 10-2-0, face challenges ahead as they look to bounce back from this decisive defeat.
