Isiah Pacheco Hyped by Fans as Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Chiefs Beat Jets

The Kansas City Chiefs usually rely on their potent passing attack for success, but second-year running back Isiah Pacheco has proved he can provide another dimension to the offense.

The 2022 seventh-round pick totaled a career-high 158 yards from scrimmage in Kansas City's 23-20 win over the New York Jets on Sunday Night Football. He ran for 115 yards on 20 carries, including a 48-yard touchdown run, and he also added 43 receiving yards on three catches.

Pacheco's huge game helped the Chiefs overcome a rare lackluster performance from star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who threw for 203 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions on 18-of-30 passing.
