Chiefs put their trust in one lineman on critical plays vs. Raiders. He came through
Short-yardage plays were a significant storyline from the Chiefs’ 31-17 victory Sunday over the Las Vegas Raiders — and it wasn’t just as simple as “running it up the middle.”
In this video, KC Star reporter Jesse Newell and Brett Taveau (author of the Chiefs book “Unpacking Greatness” and a longtime high school offensive coordinator) take a closer look at exactly why the Chiefs were successful on a pair of important Isiah Pacheco third-and-1 runs.
The tape shows the Chiefs tricked one Raiders defender, took another on a ride and also leaned heavily on one of their linemen while imposing their will Sunday.
