Isiah Pacheco Fights Off Injuries, Scores Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (ankle/toe) gutted out multiple injuries to handle his bell-cow role in Sunday's 17-10 AFC Championship victory over the Baltimore Ravens, taking 24 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown and adding 14 yards on four catches. Formally listed as questionable on Sunday, Pacheco suited up for his squad in a win-or-go-home game but mustered just 2.9 yards per touch. His workload unaffected by ankle and toe issues that cost him two practices this week, the second-year back took 28 of a possible 31 RB opportunities as he continues to entrench himself as K.C.'s workhorse. The banged-up Pacheco may have experienced tough sledding against a tough Ravens defense, but he was able to barrel his way into the end zone for a two-yard scoring plunge in the second quarter. Pacheco will have two weeks to rest up before the Chiefs battle the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII on Feb. 11.
