For Pete's Sake

Chiefs’ Spencer Ware put a crushing block on a Denver defender on Patrick Mahomes’ run

An underrated trait for NFL running backs is being a good blocker.

On Sunday, Chiefs running back Spencer Ware showed that ability against the Broncos. In fact, Denver’s Jeremiah Attaochu probably hasn’t been hit by a running back in this fashion.

In the second quarter, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes scrambled for 5 yards. Mahomes had room to run because Ware crushed Attaochu.

It’s not often fans see a hit like this from a running back.

Here is the play from Yahoo’s Terez A. Paylor:
