Young, Mahomes’ counterpart for Sunday’s showdown against the Carolina Panthers, put in one heck of a performance in Week 12. Despite his team taking a 30-27 loss to the defending champs, the 23-year-old gained the respect of many with a confident and sharp 263-yard passing performance.

The Chiefs took home a tight victory, emerging with at 30-27 win, but Young rallied the Panthers late to force overtime. The No. 1 pick from the 2023 NFL draft finished the game completing 21 of 35 passes for 263 yards and a touchdown, while adding 20 yards on three rushes.
