Kansas City Chiefs: The land of the running back

Way back to the glory days of their last Super Bowl win in 1969 with Mike Garrett totting the rock, to days of the late 80s and early 90s with Christian Okoye, the “Nigerian Nightmare.” Then there was former Raiders and NFL Hall of Famer Marcus Allen. In the 2000s, we had Priest Holmes, Larry Johnson and the all-time leader in yards per carry, Jamaal Charles.

When the Chiefs started last year at 1-5 and witnessed Charles go down with his second ACL injury, there wasn’t much hope in the Chiefs running game, nor their season. Then came Charcandrick West and his counterpart, Spencer Ware.
