Running back Kareem Hunt hardly expected to the play the last time Kansas City traveled to Denver, in Week 17 last year with a Wild Card berth in check, but he did receive one first-quarter carry in a tight Chiefs victory to close a dreadful Broncos season.
Hunt ran 35 yards, cementing himself as the NFL’s rushing champion (1,327), and then into the Mile High end zone.
“He’s a guy that can run between and outside the tackles, can catch the ball, get to the sideline and turn up-field before your guy — and everything else,” defensive end Adam Gotsis said.
