KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The play that finally sealed Sunday's Kansas City Chiefs’ victory was classic Isiah Pacheco. The rookie running back took a handoff from Patrick Mahomes, made one small cut to his left, quickly made his way through a hole, ran over a couple of defenders and gained 10 yards and a first down that allowed the Chiefs to escape with a 34-28 win over the Denver Broncos.
“The thing that stood out about it was the two or three missed tackles that [the Broncos] ended up having because of his physical nature of attacking those guys,’’ offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said.
