Pylon Cam Had Best View of Isiah Pachecoo’s Punch That Led to Ejection vs. Packers

Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco’s standout Week 13 performance ended in a bit of controversy on Sunday following a late-game scuffle that led to his ejection against the Packers.

Kansas City’s 27–19 loss to Green Bay treated fans to a hectic finish at Lambeau Field in prime time. The back-and-forth action was briefly interrupted, however, after Pacheco and Packers safety Keisean Nixon got into an altercation during a Green Bay fumble recovery.

In a video captured on NBC’s pylon cam, viewers were treated to a clear view of Pacheco’s run-in with Nixon, which saw the hard-nosed tailback unload a punch in his adversary’s direction before running down field.

The scuffle eventually led the officials to disqualify Pacheco upon review, forcing the 24-year-old to watch the remainder of the contest from the locker room. The ruling of a fumble was ultimately overturned, giving the ball back to Kansas City.

Despite having his night prematurely end via an ejection, Pacheco made an impact prior to exiting, as the second-year standout recorded 18 carries for 110 rushing yards and a touchdown, and three receptions for 13 yards.
