Isiah Pacheco Stars On Sunday Night Before Ejection

12 months ago

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco was busy in Week 13's 27-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers, taking 18 carries for 110 yards and a touchdown with three catches for 13 yards. Pacheco's longest gain came on a 26-yard rush during K.C.'s first drive. There was perhaps no better way for Pacheco to boast his trademark violent rushing style than on a 13-yard carry on the third quarter's final play, dragging a pack of Green Bay defenders on his way near the goal line. The 24-year-old experienced two injury scares after getting his body bent backward awkwardly in the third quarter and then his leg later that period, but the relentless tailback only needed a brief respite from play on both occasions. Pacheco's eventful night came to a close when he threw a punch during K.C.'s final possession, causing his disqualification. He will once more set up as a safe RB2 with lots of upside in Week 14's clash with the Buffalo Bills and their leaky run defense.
