Kansas City Chiefs' run game hits new high in Mahomes era

LAS VEGAS -- Kareem Hunt had modest expectations for himself when he rejoined the Kansas City Chiefs last month after a six-year break.

"My goal was to get back in football shape and just go out there and give it everything I got, and any opportunity I get, make the most of it,'' Hunt said. "I do believe that I've done that.''

Hunt has actually done more than that. He's brought the Chiefs' running game to life.

The Chiefs are averaging 122 rushing yards per game, their best since 2015, better than any season since Patrick Mahomes became their starting quarterback.
