Isiah Pacheco Note

The Chiefs' running game was led by Kareem Hunt, who carried the ball 11 times for 55 yards, averaging 5.0 yards per carry and scoring one touchdown with a long of 20 yards. Patrick Mahomes also contributed on the ground, rushing for 33 yards on 5 attempts (6.6 yards per carry), including an opening touchdown and a long of 15 yards. Isiah Pacheco had 9 carries for 26 yards, averaging 2.9 yards per carry. Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy also contributed on the ground with 3 carries for 10 yards (3.3 yards per carry).

Hunt was used as a receiving option as well, recording 2 catches for 24 yards, while Samaje Perine contributed 3 catches for 50 yards. Isiah Pacheco had one catch but gained just -1 yard on the play. He had another catch removed by an offensive holding penalty.

Hunt out-snapped Pacheco 43% to 35%. However, Pacheco did have more carries in the first half (4 vs 2). Hunt ran more routes which helped push his snaps over Pacheco. Hunt also earned all the carries in the red zone (three) for the Chiefs.

I was afraid this backfield might get messy. KC is reluctant to turn it over fully to Pacheco, and Perine chipping in doesn't help anyone. Pacheco might also not be healthy.

KC will play @ PIT on Christmas. Sell the backfield.
