Andy Reid and the Chiefs are the blueprint for Dave Canales' plan for the Panthers. And on Sunday, Reid and his quarterback offered a promising prognosis for that plan. 

A look at some of the key stats from the game, as well as the snap counts from Sunday's loss against the Chiefs in Week 12. 

The Panthers have been preaching finish. On Sunday, they watched the Chiefs achieve it, a testament to what they're trying to become. 

On a day when the Chiefs were determined to stop the run game, the Panthers made key plays there to tie the game in the late stages.

The Panthers quarterback played his best game of the season, then followed with a message to his teammates that this was the type of team they can be.

The rookie tight end has been released from the hospital, but continues to undergo evaluation for a neck injury suffered against the Chiefs.

Bryce Young had his best statistical game of the season, making plays against a Chiefs defense that was determined to stop Chuba Hubbard. And they made Patrick Mahomes win it late.

Rookie wide receiver Jalen Coker is inactive this week, while veteran Adam Thielen returns to the lineup for the first time since Week 3.

Former Panthers' safety Quinton Teal played three years in the NFL. It's nothing compared to the five years his wife spent in the U.S. Army. 

The veteran running back suffered an ankle injury in the win over the Giants in Germany, and will miss at least the next four weeks. Plus more transactions on Saturday.

The Panthers run game has been one of the best in the league this season. So has the Chiefs rushing defense. Who wins out on Sunday? Plus spying Mahomes, return of Thielen and more. 

He came here in 2015 looking for a starting job, and ended up with a career-high seven interceptions on a star-studded defense, with a major star on the other side of the ball. He remembers it well.
