The Kansas City Chiefs decided to lean on their running game in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers and found success when using second-year back Isiah Pacheco to pick up gritty yards on the ground.
The shift away from Andy Reid’s usual pass-first attack has surprised some fans, but given the job that Kansas City’s offensive line has done in recent weeks as run blockers, the change in identity makes sense.
According to Pro Football Focus, center Creed Humphrey has led the charge in this regard and holds the NFL’s highest run-blocking grade among players at his position.
