The emergence of rookie running back Isiah Pacheco has transformed the Kansas City Chiefs offense. Pacheco has been in the starting lineup since the Chiefs’ Week 7 match-up with the San Francisco 49ers, and his role has increased significantly since Clyde Edwards-Helaire was placed on injured reserve.
Pacheco’s fiery attitude and energetic running style have made him a favorite of fans and the coaching staff. The former Rutgers University team captain has frequently celebrated and shown emotion when finishing big runs. The extracurriculars don’t bother the coaching staff, as offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy explained during Thursday’s press conference.
