KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Rookie running back Kareem Hunt did something in his NFL debut Thursday night that only one other Kansas City Chiefs player has done. Hunt rushed for 148 yards, caught passes worth 98 more and scored three touchdowns in the Chiefs’ 42-27 win against the New England Patriots.
Priest Holmes hit those numbers in a 2002 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Hunt also had by far the best debut among the recent line of great Chiefs backs that includes Holmes, Larry Johnson and Jamaal Charles.
