Leading Sunday’s scare, at least according to two-time MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was his counterpart Bryce Young—who continued on his path to reemergence. For the fourth start in a row, the former No. 1 overall pick displayed progression in almost every part of his game—and against one of the league’s very top defenses, no less.

Bryce Young had his best game of the season in a loss to the Chiefs in Week 12. But he still may not be the future quarterback for Panthers.
