Isiah Pacheco got down in the locker room following the Kansas City Chiefs’ overtime Super Bowl win. The former Rutgers football running back showed off some dance moves in the aftermath of the Chiefs 25-22 overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers.
A seventh-round pick out of Rutgers, Pacheco made NFL history on Sunday with the Chiefs. He became the first starting running back in NFL history to begin his career with two Super Bowl wins in his first two seasons.
Pacheco finished the game with 59 rushing yards on 18 carries. In addition, he had six receptions for 33 yards.
He did not score a touchdown in the game, ending his own impressive streak of getting into the endzone. Pacheco came into the game with three straight touchdowns in the NFL playoffs, part of a longer streak of seven games where he had either a rushing or receiving touchdown.

At Rutgers, Pacheco was an All-Big Ten caliber running back. Last season as a rookie, he won the Chiefs’ starting running back job by midseason.
In the Super Bowl last year, Pacheco scored a touchdown in the second quarter to key the Chiefs’ comeback win.
