Last week, Kareem Hunt ceded control of the Kansas City backfield to Isiah Pacheco. Hunt had only one red zone rushing attempt, while Pacheco had five. Hunt finished with a 49.2% snap rate, a 42.5% route share, seven touches, and 20 total yards. Sit Hunt this week. The Tennessee run defense has MASSIVELY improved. Since Week 11, Tennessee has allowed the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game, the fourth-lowest explosive run rate, and the eighth-lowest missed tackle rate.

siah Pacheco led the backfield (started), not Kareem Hunt. Pacheco carried the ball 11 times for 21 yards to Hunt's six for 12. Pacheco also earned 5 RZ carries.

Travis Kelce went 7-for-70 on nine targets, while Rashee Rice caught 7 balls for 51 yards on a team-high 11 targets.

KC has one of the highest pass rates in the NFL - so I don't envision them "relying" on a non-existent run game. Unless, of course, they want to make sure Hunt reaches his contract incentives (750 total yards).
