Second-year running back Isiah Pacheco scored the Kansas City Chiefs’ first touchdown in Week 4 against the New York Jets on a long third-down scamper that helped give his team an early 10-point lead.
Pacheco dazzled Chiefs fans in attendance at MetLife Stadium with this signature galloping effort to the end zone. Video of the long run was posted to Twitter shortly after the play by the NFL, which recognized Pacheco’s outstanding effort on the play.

This play was made possible by right guard Trey Smith, who sprung Pacheco open with a huge block at the second level after pulling from his spot on the offensive line. Smith has been one of the Chiefs’ top linemen since being drafted by Kansas City in 2021 and certainly made his presence felt on this long touchdown.
Watch for the Chiefs to continue turning to Pacheco and their talented linemen to churn out tough yards on the ground in this highly anticipated matchup.
