Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) works in the pocket against the Carolina Panthers during the first half of an NFL football game, November 24, 2024, in Charlotte, N.C.
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.”
