It’s the NFL Playoffs, where getting hot at the right time can be critical. One way to do that is to add new wrinkles into the playbook. Or, in some cases, showcase unexpected players. Enter Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon. Seeing 12 rushing attempts and 20 receiving targets in the regular season, McKinnon was essentially a non-factor. Against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round, McKinnon hit a season high 78% of snaps. He matched his regular-season carry total of 12, and had six targets to boot for 18 total touches and 142 yards (30% of the team’s total).
