Kansas City Chiefs hero played through TWO major injuries in Super Bowl

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco played through both a broken hand and a torn labrum to play a major role in the team’s Super Bowl win.

Back in February, the Chiefs secured a dramatic 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII which will go down in history as an all-time classic. Patrick Mahomes threw for 182 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Chiefs to a sensational win, which was secured by a late field goal from kicker Harrison Butker with just eight seconds remaining.

While Mahomes took home the game’s MVP honours, their rookie running back impressed too. A rookie hadn’t scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl since Sony Michel four years ago, but Pacheco rushed for 76 yard and a score.
