Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco notched the third 100-yard game of his young career against the Green Bay Packers in Week 13 on Sunday Night Football. The second-year running back was one of Kansas City’s most productive contributors on offense but was ejected late in the game when tempers flared in the fourth quarter.
With that carry, RB Isiah Pacheco is over 100 yards for the game. It's his 3rd career regular season game with 100+ rushing yards.

Though his performance was overshadowed by the dysfunction that has plagued the Chiefs in recent weeks, Pacheco’s outstanding effort was a major reason that Kansas City had a chance to win late in the game.
While it wasn’t enough to push the Chiefs over the edge, Pacheco’s showing should be enough to warrant more involvement in Andy Reid’s offense through the end of the season if the veteran head coach elects to lean on what works instead of attempting to force the ball downfield in the passing game.
Expect to see a steady dose of the Rutgers product in Kansas City’s Week 14 game against the Buffalo Bills.
