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.
