WATCH: Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco scores second TD vs. Raiders in Week 12

Watch #Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco score his second touchdown against the #Raiders in Week 12

The Kansas City Chiefs offense got off to a fast start in the second half of their Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Second-year running back Isiah Pacheco capped off the unit’s first drive of the third quarter by rushing for a touchdown on the goal line.

The score was Pacheco’s second of the game and gave Kansas City its first lead of the game after the Chiefs went down by 14 points earlier in the matchup.

Pacheco nearly scored after hauling in a catch on the previous play but was ruled down by contact inside the one-yard line before bullying his way into the end zone with this outstanding effort.

While Pacheco has put together an outstanding performance in this game, Kansas City still has plenty of work to do if the Chiefs intend to win their eighth game of the 2023 season in Sin City.

Expect Andy Reid to continue leaning on Pacheco as Kansas City endeavors to escape Allegiant Stadium with a share of the lead for the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs.

WATCH: Chiefs WR Justin Watson catches TD vs. Raiders in Week 12

#Chiefs WR Justin Watson caught a touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes against the #Raiders in Week 12.

The Kansas City Chiefs overcame a 14-point deficit to even the score against the Las Vegas Raiders just before halftime in Week 12. After second-year star Isiah Pacheco scored the team’s first touchdown on a rush near the goal line, Kansas City’s defense gave Patrick Mahomes a chance to tie the game before halftime.

The NFL’s reigning MVP would do his part to get the Chiefs back in the game when he found veteran wide receiver Justin Watson for a touchdown with just under 30 seconds remaining in the second quarter.

Watson made a rookie mistake after the big catch, drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after exchanging words with a Raider as part of his touchdown celebration.

While this play created some positive momentum for Kansas City, the outcome of this game is still very much in question. The Chiefs have come out flat through two quarters, and Las Vegas looks primed to play the spoiler as Kansas City fights to keep its hopes of earning the AFC’s top playoff seed alive.

Isiah Pacheco got the #Chiefs on the board in Week 12 after scoring a rushing touchdown against the #Raiders.

The Kansas City Chiefs got off to an awful start against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12, but scored their first points midway through the second quarter when second-year running back Isiah Pacheco wriggled past the offensive line for a goal-line touchdown.

Pacheco’s run helped cut Las Vegas’ lead to just seven points after Harrison Butker nailed his extra-point attempt.

Kansas City’s offensive dysfunction has been on full display throughout this divisional matchup against the Raiders, and with two-and-a-half quarters left to play, the Chiefs’ performance has left a lot to be desired.

Pacheco’s score was the team’s only bright spot of the game at the time it occurred, and if Kansas City’s uninspired performance continues, the Chiefs are likely to end Sunday’s tilt with their fourth loss of the season.

Expect Andy Reid to do his best to get Pacheco more carries in key situations as Kansas City looks to dig itself out of its early deficit.

WATCH: Cowboys CB DaRon Bland sets NFL Pick-6 record to cap furious flurry

The Cowboys can score quicker than any team in the NFL and proved it in the most profound way on Thursday. | From @KDDrummondNFL

The Dallas Cowboys have cornered the market on cornerback greatness over the last two years. Someone needs to hand defensive backs coach Al Harris his flowers immediately. Dallas led by double-digits at halftime on Thursday in their Thanksgiving day game against Washington, but their offense was unable to get things going on their first two drives.

They finally got on the board with a 52-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter, and then they exploded like only they can. First Dak Prescott found CeeDee Lamb, twice, for eight points. Then he poured salt on the wounds with his fourth TD pass, this one to Kavontae Turpin.

And then… there was DaRon Bland.

The Cowboys second-year corner was having a bad game, giving up a ton of catches for the first time all season. But when he got the chance to jump the route, boy did he ever. Bland returned the ball 63 yards, weaving through Commanders, to give Dallas another 40 burger on the season.

 

WATCH: Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes finds Travis Kelce for TD vs. Eagles on MNF

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes hit Travis Kelce for a touchdown against the #Eagles in Week 11 on Monday Night Football.

The Kansas City Chiefs are back in the lead against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11 after reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes found tight end Travis Kelce for a touchdown late in the second quarter of the Super Bowl LVII rematch.

The touchdown came with just over a minute remaining before halftime and gave Kansas City a seven-point lead after Harrison Butker converted his point-after try.

Check out Mahomes’ connection with Kelce here:

While this play gave the Chiefs the upper hand, their lead is anything but safe against the Eagles’ prolific offense, which is set to touch the ball twice in short order. Philadelphia will receive the second-half kickoff after its next offensive drive, so Kansas City’s defense will need to respond to keep the Chiefs ahead.

Expect Mahomes to continue looking to Kelce near the goal line as he looks to lift Kansas City to victory in this highly anticipated primetime matchup.

L’Jarius Sneed boasts impressive snap streak without allowing a touchdown entering matchup vs. Eagles

#Chiefs DB L’Jarius Sneed has put together an excellent 2023 season and has tallied more than 320 snaps played without allowing a touchdown.

Defensive back L’Jarius Sneed has put together an impressive streak of more than 320 snaps played without allowing a touchdown heading into the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 11 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.

One of the top defenders in the NFL today, Sneed’s steady presence on the Chiefs’ defense has been a huge part of Kansas City’s defensive resurgence in 2023 and should play a key role in the team’s gameplan for its Super Bowl LVII matchup next Monday.

Expect Sneed to play sticky coverage against the Eagles’ exceptionally talented receiving corps, which features the likes of DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown to stretch the field.

Kansas City won’t have any room for error against Philadelphia, which has continued its dominance in the NFC after ending the 2022 season as the conference’s top team. The highly anticipated matchup should give Sneed plenty of opportunities to make an impact after the Chiefs’ Week 10 bye.

Look: Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson scores TD in 3rd-straight game

The Cowboys TE keeps making big plays, increasing his profile as Dak Prescott’s security blanket.

The Cowboys are taking what some may consider their own sweet time in putting a bowtie on the Giants, but the methodical approach is working. Dallas whiffed on their opening possession, driving the length of the field but failing to score on four opportunities from goal-to-go. They then went three and out but soon righted the ship.

A touchdown by CeeDee Lamb was followed by an interception off the arm of Dak Prescott, but the defense held the Giants on four plays from the 12-yard line. The offense went back to work and soon TE Jake Ferguson was getting his chance.

Dallas drove 96 yards down the field on the scoring drive, with the final play a one-yard touchdown pass on second down to Ferguson in the back of the end zone.

It’s the second-year tight end’s third-straight game with a score and his fourth on the young season. He’s become a true weapon for teh Dallas offense.

Watch: CeeDee Lamb gets Cowboys on board with his legs

CeeDee Lamb followed up his acrobatic catch with a scoring run to open things up for Dallas. Watch both.

CeeDee Lamb has been balling as a receiver over the last several weeks. His back-to-back 150-plus yard games have skyrocketed him up the leaderboard in the NFL. Dallas has answered his call to get him more involved in the offense over the last three weeks and they continued to do so on Sunday.

And while his receiving prowess is certainly on display in the Week 10 game against the New York Giants, the Cowboys got on the board thanks to Lamb harping back to his eight-grade running back days.

Greg Olsen called the play a tornado reverse, thanks to the distraction made on the end around that went to the right side for the score.

Earlier in the game, Lamb made an incredible one-handed catch while being interfered with.

WATCH: A.T. Perry scores a touchdown on his second NFL reception

WATCH: Rookie receiver A.T. Perry scored a touchdown on his second NFL reception, with Jameis Winston at QB

Whew. Why were the New Orleans Saints keeping A.T. Perry on the bench again? The rookie draft pick stepped up in a huge moment against the Minnesota Vikings after Michael Thomas left the game with a knee injury, catching his first pass in the NFL to gain 23 yards.

Then the Saints called his number again, with Jameis Winston filling in for the injured Derek Carr. Winston threw a fastball to Perry in the end zone for his second career reception — and a much-needed touchdown to cut into Minnesota’s deficit.

Perry’s talents were obvious on his Wake Forest game tape, but the Saints had him working his way up the depth chart as a blocking specialist. It didn’t help that he played the same role in college as Thomas has in the NFL, so there weren’t many opportunities for him so long as the veteran was in the lineup. Here’s hoping he can continue to make the most of the chances he does get.

WATCH: Saints wide receiver Chris Olave secures a must-see touchdown catch vs. Vikings

The New Orleans Saints offense had not had much to cheer about against the Minnesota Vikings. up until Chris Olave came down with the first touchdown of the day.

Jameis Winston entered the game for an injured Derek Carr in the third quarter against the Minnesota Vikings. He went 3-for-3 during his first drive and capped it with a great throw on the 14-yard touchdown to Olave. It was Winston’s first touchdown pass of the season.

Though the season has not consistently been what many had hoped for with Olave, he still has these flashes of star potential every now and then. There is still a lot to be hopeful for with the young receiver. He’s up to three touchdowns on the season and seven for his career.
