Kansas City Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon finished Sunday’s win over the Denver Broncos with 134 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. It was his best single-game performance since Week 15 of the 2017 NFL season against the Cincinnati Bengals when McKinnon was still a member of the Minnesota Vikings. He recorded 138 scrimmage yards on 16 touches that day, but he didn’t get into the endzone.
McKinnon has since persevered through some turbulent times, with injuries keeping him off the field in 2018 and 2019 with the San Francisco 49ers. Still, the 5-foot-9 running back kept at it and now he’s reaping the benefits.
