In a season full of dramatic endings for the Kansas City Chiefs, Week 12 delivered came to another harrowing conclusion when the defending Super Bowl champions defeated the Carolina Panthers on a walk-off field goal by kicker Spencer Shrader.

They didn't win, but the Carolina Panthers nearly upset the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs during their Week 12 matchup. A big reason why was the play of quarterback Bryce Young, who led Carolina on six scoring drives that included a game-tying scoring drive with under two minutes left.

Despite their woes, the Chiefs remain in the AFC's catbird seat through 12 weeks, sitting at 10-1 on the 2024 season. They're on a short week coming up, returning home to Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium for a Black Friday matchup versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Kickoff is set for 3:00 p.m. on Amazon Prime Video.

“On the game’s opening kickoff, RB Samaje Perine recorded a 56-yard return to the Panthers 41-yard line. Three plays later, the Chiefs scored a touchdown to put up the first points of the game. The return marked a career-long kickoff return for Perine. He ended today’s game with 128 all-purpose yards (104 kick return, 13 rushing and 11 receiving).”
