If the Chiefs beat the Raiders on Black Friday, Patrick Mahomes will have his 100th win as a starting quarterback, counting the postseason.

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.

The Kansas City Chiefs hit the Thanksgiving mile marker on the NFL calendar at 10-1, but they are not exactly as dominating as that record would suggest. The defending back-to-back champions have been engulfed in one-score games throughout the season but have come out the other side with a victory each time.

Mahomes played his best football of the 2024 season in the Chiefs’ 30-27 win Sunday against a Panthers team that gave them all they could handle — the kind of football we used to characterize as routine for this offense. But it’s been a minute.

The Kansas City Chiefs narrowly defeated the Carolina Panthers in Week 12, due in no small part to the efforts of Patrick Mahomes, who threw three touchdown passes in the defending Super Bowl champions' tenth win of the season.

With 1:55 left in the game, Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed a touchdown pass to Chuba Hubbard to put Carolina within two of the Chiefs. Carolina then was able to get the two-point conversion to tie the game.

For the fifth time this season, the Chiefs won on the game’s final snap. Include last year’s Super Bowl, and it’s six times in their last 11 games, a stretch that is book-ended by Mahomes’ legwork.

Nothing ignites a good NFL discussion quite like quarterbacks. They're the most important ingredient in a championship recipe, after all. All signal-callers are at least partially a product of their situations,

There's been a fair amount of concern about the state of the Chiefs offense for much of this season, but things looked pretty good for the final three quarters of last Sunday's game against the Raiders.
