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.” The game-winning drive was the 21st of Mahomes' career, and the Chiefs won a game decided in the final seconds for the fifth time this season. Eight of the Chiefs' wins have come by one-score margins. “You always want to have some blowouts and be a little calmer in the fourth quarter, but I've always said it could be a good thing when you get to the playoffs later in the season knowing that you have been in those moments before, and knowing how to attack it play by play not making it too big of a moment,” Mahomes said. Then he smiled and said: “But I would say this more than anybody, I would love to win a game not by the very last play.” Mahomes completed 27 of 37 passes for 269 yards and three touchdowns in his first game at Bank of America Stadium and ran for 60 yards — including 33 on that last-minute play — as the Chiefs (10-1) scored on six of their eight possessions. Noah Gray caught four passes for 66 yards and scored two touchdowns for the second straight week, and DeAndre Hopkins also found the end zone for the two-time defending Super Bowl champions. Kareem Hunt ran for 68 yards on 16 carries and caught three passes for 19 yards. Bryce Young played well for Carolina (3-8), finishing 21 of 35 for 262 yards and a touchdown while leading the Panthers back from an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter to tie the game on Chuba Hubbard's 1-yard touchdown run and 2-point conversion with 1:46 remaining. Panthers coach Dave Canales, who benched Young earlier this season for veteran Andy Dalton, said last year's No. 1 overall draft pick “absolutely” will remain the team's starting QB next week. That's a break from Canales' recent pattern of waiting a few days to name a starter. “Bryce is certainly making the most of his opportunities,” Canales said. “And he is making a statement to all of us. Showing us he can make plays in critical areas. He did a great job extending today.” Said Young: “For me, I just want to focus on what I can control. Regardless, I always have the same mindset and preparation, wanting to be better throughout the week. I am definitely grateful for confidence.” Still, there is room for improvement. The Panthers moved the ball well but struggled in the red zone, resulting in field goals of 30, 32, 29 and 33 yards for Eddy Pineiro, the most accurate kicker in NFL history. The Chiefs wasted no time setting the tone as Samaje Perine returned the opening kickoff 56 yards and Mahomes found Gray for a 35-yard touchdown strike on the third play of scrimmage for a 7-0 lead. Gray went nine games without a TD catch before hauling in two last week against Buffalo. His 11-yard score late in the second quarter gave him two more against the Panthers . Chiefs coach Andy Reid praised Mahomes' poise but said he was concerned about his team's nine penalties for 90 yards. Moving on up Kansas City's Travis Kelce had six catches for 62 yards and moved into third place in career yards receiving by a tight end. He ranks behind only Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten. However, Kelce failed to find the end zone for the ninth time in 11 games this season. Brooks' debut Running back Jonathan Brooks made his NFL debut for Carolina, but the second-round pick was limited to 7 yards on two carries. Injuries Panthers: Rookie TE Ja'Tavion Sanders was taken to a hospital, where he was evaluated for a neck injury and released . He landed awkwardly on his head after making a catch near the end of the second quarter. Up next Chiefs: Host Las Vegas on Friday. Panthers: Host Tampa Bay next Sunday.welcome40 betfred 。

As Broncos sort through RB options, rookie Audric Estime aims to make decision easy: “Hopefully I can keep on building trust”Liwan, Design Studios and Labs, in partnership with Qatar Reads, will present the second edition of the Liwan Library Forum Tuesday, bringing together experts from Qatar and the region to discuss pressing global issues through literature, art, and personal narratives. The forum from 2pm-7pm will feature a range of speakers. In addition, a special exhibition on “Stories from Gaza” will open in conjunction with the forum tomorrow, at 4pm. “This event is an opportunity to amplify voices, explore pressing global issues, and deepen understanding through art and literature as powerful mediums,” said Liwan director Aisha bint Nasser al-Suwaidi. “Stories from Gaza” presents an intimate and in-depth exploration of Palestinian experiences through art and personal expression. It is divided into five poignant sections that capture the essence of identity, resilience and hope. “This exhibition gives voice to adults and children from Gaza currently living in Qatar and sheds light on what matters to them, their stories of resilience, and how they express themselves,” said exhibition curator Amal Ali. In the “Alphabets of Gaza and Qatar” section, visitors will discover unexpected connections between two different countries, exploring how language and culture intersect and build bridges of understanding. The second section, “What If?” explores the imaginary world of children, asking profound questions – such as “What if I went to Jerusalem?” – and revealing the power of imagination in the face of harsh reality. Another section, “More Than a Flag, More Than a Land”, explores how the Palestinian flag has transformed from a mere banner into one of the most powerful symbols of freedom, resistance, and justice. “Stories of Resilience” captures poignant moments of adults living in the Gaza compound, revealing their conditions, their suffering, and the remarkable resilience they have shown through unimaginable circumstances. The final section, “Belonging and Expression Amidst Displacement”, celebrates the new relationships and connections that adults and children forged after their difficult journeys to Qatar, highlighting the human capacity for resilience, adaptation, and hope. The forum will also explore three in-depth themes, featuring speakers who will delve into topics related to poetry, activism, refugee experiences, and the power of storytelling. Notable speakers include Mustafa Matar, Renad Qubbaj, Abdullah Mir, and Dr Hanan Hindi. “It is a great honour to collaborate with the Liwan Library Forum for its second edition,” said Fatima al-Malki, director of the Qatar Reads Initiative. “This year’s theme focuses on the role of literature and art as powerful tools in highlighting refugee narratives, emphasising the importance of paving the way for reading and learning to pave the way for a more enlightened future,” she said. “Literature acts as a bridge that integrates readers into the fictional reality of characters while establishing deep connections with the experiences of people around the world, whether in Palestine, Sudan, or elsewhere,” al-Malki added. “The symposium will also include an art exhibition that complements the literary discussions, in addition to interactive workshops carefully organised by both teams.” The first theme, *Community Activism in Poetry and Art, explores the profound role of creative expression in confronting social and political injustice. Matar, poet and news anchor from Al-Rafidain TV, will highlight how artistic media have become tools for protest and dialogue. The second theme, *Stories from Gaza: Reshaping the Narrative, offers a personal exploration of Palestinian experiences. Renad Qubbaj, the general director of the Tamer Institute for Community Education in Palestine, and Kawthar al-Qar’a, a writer and language editor, will share their insights into the resilience, creativity, and ever-positive spirit of Gazans. The final theme of the symposium, *The Refugee Experience: From Fiction to Reality, offers a global perspective on human displacement and migration. Journalist and climate activist Mir and Dr Hindi, an academic adviser at Northwestern University in Qatar, will discuss how refugee experiences have shifted from marginal narratives to urgent global realities. The exhibition “Stories from Gaza” focuses on these themes, allowing visitors to reflect on a moving collection of works that capture the painful experiences of adults and children from the Gaza complex, a statement added.

CHICAGO (AP) — Two-time NBA scoring champion Joel Embiid returned to the Philadelphia 76ers' starting lineup against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday. After missing his first seven shots and ambling deliberately in his left knee brace in the first quarter, the 2023 MVP went on a tear to propel the Sixers to a 108-100 win over the Chicago Bulls. Embiid connected on eight of his next 10 shots in the second quarter for his first 19 points of the game, which lifted Philadelphia to a 62-50 halftime lead. The Sixers stretched it to 19 before holding on for their fourth win in five games, and Embiid finished with 31. “I just got lucky and started making shots,” Embiid deadpanned when he talked to reporters almost 90 minutes after the game. “We just missed shots and we adjusted and we got them in.” Embiid, a seven-time All-Star, added 12 rebounds in his fifth game this season. The 7-foot center had missed the previous seven games because of knee injuries and a three-game suspension for pushing a sports columnist. Embiid finished slightly above his career average of nearly 27.8 points per game in 33 minutes. The Sixers don't play again until Friday thanks to the NBA Cup, so coach Nick Nurse planned to give his star ample work Sunday with a break and recovery time ahead. “All of a sudden he certainly caught fire there with a little bit of variety,” Nurse said. “I know a lot of it seemed like foul-line jumpers, which it was. He snuck in a roll or two and a couple of post-ups. It gave us a lot of confidence.” The Sixers trailed 33-23 after the first quarter. Behind Embiid and a 16-0 run in the second, they took the lead for good. Chicago got within four points twice in the fourth, but Philadelphia closed it out. “We guarded really well and we rebounded extremely well at both ends,” Nurse said. Tyrese Maxey got his first career triple-double as part of the winning formula and clicked with Embiid. Maxey finished with 25 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds. “It was great, that's who he is,” Maxey said of Embiid. “After he got in the game it's easy, it was easier, man. There was a lot more space out there.” The All-Star trio of Embiid, Maxey and Paul George (12 points) played together for only the second game this season. “Obviously we've got the connection,” Embiid said. "We know when things are not going right, what we need to do. Now it's up to us to make the shots and the plays. “After that first quarter, it just felt like we needed to take more of an ownership as far as getting us back in the game. They're great players.” AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nbaSports on TV for Nov. 23 - 24

Rico Carty, who won the 1970 NL batting title when he hit a major league-best .366 for the Atlanta Braves, has died. He was 85. Major League Baseball , the players’ association and the Braves paid tribute to Carty on social media on Sunday. A family friend told Listín Diario — a newspaper in Carty’s native Dominican Republic — that he died Saturday night in an Atlanta hospital. “Carty was one of the first groundbreaking Latino stars in the major leagues, and he established himself as a hero to millions in his native Dominican Republic, his hometown of San Pedro de Macoris, and the city of Atlanta, where he was a beloved fan favorite,” the players' association said in its statement . The Braves said Carty left an indelible mark on the organization. “While his on-field accomplishments will never be forgotten, his unforgettable smile and generous nature will be sorely missed,” the team said in its statement. Carty made his big league debut with the Braves in September 1963. He batted .330 with 22 homers and 88 RBIs in his first full season in 1964, finishing second to Dick Allen in voting for NL Rookie of the Year. The Braves moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta after the 1965 season, and Carty got the franchise's first hit in its new home on April 12, 1966, against Pittsburgh. Carty had his best year in 1970, batting .366 with 25 homers and a career-best 101 RBIs. He started the All-Star Game after he was elected as a write-in candidate, joining Willie Mays and Hank Aaron in the NL outfield. Carty batted .299 with 204 homers and 890 RBIs over 15 years in the majors, also playing for Cleveland, Toronto, Oakland, Texas and the Chicago Cubs. He retired after the 1979 season.
