A month or two ago, the last Kansas City Chiefs player anyone could have guessed as someone could lead the team in total yards during a playoff game would have been running back Jerick McKinnon.
But during Wild Card Weekend, that’s exactly what he did in the Chiefs’ 42-21 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. McKinnon earned 142 yards — 61 of them on the ground and 81 through the air. It was nearly the most gained in a single game by any Chiefs running back this year, coming in just under Darrel Williams’ 144-yard performance against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10.
