At the end of Kareem Hunt’s first NFL carry, which was also Kansas City’s first offensive play of the 2017 season, he fumbled the football and the New England Patriots recovered. But Hunt quickly rebounded, coming away with 148 rushing yards, 98 receiving yards and three total touchdowns to help pull off an upset against the Patriots to open up the 2017 NFL season.
Hunt broke the NFL record for most yards from scrimmage in a debut with 246, previously held by wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who had 217 yards when he played for the Arizona Cardinals in his debut in 2003.
