Chiefs vs. Texans: Kareem Hunt scores go-ahead touchdown before halftime

#Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt scored a go-ahead touchdown to give Kansas City a lead over the Houston #Texans before halftime in Week 16.

The Kansas City Chiefs’s hot start leveled off in the second quarter of their matchup against the Houston Texans on Saturday, but the defending Super Bowl champions got momentum back on their side just before halftime.

After a defensive turnover and subsequent touchdown by the Chiefs to open the game, Kansas City’s offense plateaued after the first quarter.

Down 10-7 with under five minutes remaining, quarterback Patrick Mahomes put together a near-perfect drive that resulted in an impressive touchdown scored by veteran running back Kareem Hunt.

Stay tuned to see if Hunt can continue to impress as Kansas City looks to beat Houston and improve to 14-1 on the season.

Fantasy football: Experts reveal key trend for Isiah Pacheco

See what the experts at Pro Football Network had to say about #Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco’s fantasy outlook for Week 14.

The Kansas City Chiefs were without star running back Isiah Pacheco for much of the regular season but got him back when they faced the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13.

Fantasy football managers were faced with a difficult decision when Pacheco was placed on Kansas City’s injured reserve list after Week 2, and now that he has returned to the field, some may be unsure if they should start him.

For those on the fence about getting Pacheco back in their lineups, the experts at Pro Football Network provided some key insight that may help convince managers to give the Rutgers product a chance in Week 14.

“Isiah Pacheco played 32.8% of the Chiefs snaps in his return to action, and while he had just eight touches in the win over the Raiders, he had a 34-yard run, something he only did twice last season.”

Though the Chiefs have found success with Kareem Hunt as their No. 1 option in the running game, Pacheco’s return could prove to be a boon for Kansas City’s offense as the defending Super Bowl champions make their push toward the playoffs.

Stay tuned to see if Pacheco gets more touches in the Chiefs’ Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Kansas City Chiefs debuted the backfield tandem of Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt during Friday’s victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. The rushers only had 14 carries between them, but each saw action on the day.

Pacheco returned to the field after being placed on injured reserve earlier in the season with a leg injury. During his postgame press conference, he shared his thoughts on Hunt’s leadership while out of the lineup.

“Yes, hats off to him (Kareem Hunt) stepping up; it’s been a tough run. He’s been awesome leading the room,” said Pacheco. “Everyone’s been following the leaders. Most importantly for me, just pinpoint details in the meeting room for when I had the opportunity to get out and show my ability. Focus on the details: the chips, the check-downs, just the little things that would make my game a little bit better today.”

Pacheco led the team’s rushing attack in Week 13 with seven rushes for 44 yards to help propel the Chiefs to their 11th victory this season. He had an impressive 34-yard rush to quickly move the Chiefs downfield to the Raiders’ 14-yard line, marking the club’s longest rush.

The Kansas City Chiefs relies heavily on the passing game in their 19-17 victory on Friday against the Las Vegas Raiders. During his postgame press conference, head coach Andy Reid explained his decision to limit running plays.

“We weren’t doing too good with it. I felt – the way they were playing, they were bringing an extra guy. I felt like we were better off with a short passing game, which was working; we were going up and down the field,” said Reid. “We just weren’t doing very good in the red zone – we were struggling with the runs early, so that was a decision I made.”

Isiah Pacheco returned to the field after being placed on injured reserve earlier in the season with a leg injury. He had his first opportunity to team with Kareem Hunt in the backfield, as the two combined for only 14 carries on the day.

“Yeah, that was great. I thought that was a positive,” said Reid. “It was good to get (Isiah) Pacheco some reps in there. I thought he did a nice job when we had an opportunity to run.”

Pacheco broke free in the third quarter for a 34-yard rush to move the Chiefs quickly downfield to the Las Vegas 14-yard line, marking the club’s longest rush of the 2024 season.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco reflects on rehab process leading to return: ‘It was challenging’

The Kansas City Chiefs are officially in the postseason after clinching their spot with the Week 13 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. The game featured the return of several players, including running back Isiah Pacheco.

The former seventh-round draft pick returned to the lineup on Friday after being injured since Week 2. He spoke about his long rehab process with reporters after the game in preparation for the highly anticipated return at Arrowhead Stadium.

“It was challenging. You’ve got days you come in and don’t want to work. You could go as hard as you can and get distractions.” said Pacheco. “You’ve got guys that are healthy running in and out of the facility, but you, as a player, you’ve got to focus on what you’ve got to come in there and do. For me, that was to get better day in and day out and eliminate distractions. I wanted to go out to the hot tub and the cold tub and do those extra things, but during the moment, I had to focus on what I had planned and then, on my own time, do the extra stuff.”

Pacheco finished his first game back on the field with seven carries for 44 yards, including a 34-yard run. The Chiefs limited Pacheco’s workload as he gets his timing back and is still tinkering with his usage alongside Kareem Hunt.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid provides a positive update on Isiah Pacheco ahead of Week 12

Kansas City #Chiefs head coach Andy Reid provides a positive update on Isiah Pacheco ahead of Week 12 | @EdEastonJr

The Kansas City Chiefs are fresh from their first loss of the season but got some positive news regarding an injured starter. Head coach Andy Reid spoke with reporters on Wednesday to discuss the status of starting running back Isiah Pacheco as he continues to work his way back from injury.

“We’ll see on both those two (Charles Omenihu),” said Reid. “Kind of go through the practice (and) see where we’re at this week and go from there. We’ll just have to say, a day-by-day-type thing.”

Reid also mentioned rehabbing Charles Omenihu’s progress toward a potential return, but Pacheco’s potential this weekend seems promising. During his press conference, the Chiefs head coach praised Pacheco’s work ethic and desire to return.

“He’s a spark plug, emotionally; he’s something that way, and he’s worked his tail off to get to the point he’s at now. We’ve got to keep an eye on him that way,” said Reid. “He would’ve played three weeks ago if he had his choice, but that’s sometimes how it goes. I appreciate that, though, that mentality. That’s what’s helped him get to this point.”

Pacheco was off to a productive start this season before going down with a fractured fibula in the team’s Week 2 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. A backfield alongside Kareem Hunt appears to be a matter of time as the Rutgers standout’s health is on the uptick.
