Isiah Pacheco received a hero’s welcome from KC fans in his return to Chiefs
Chiefs fans clearly missed running back Isiah Pacheco.
Although Kareem Hunt has done an excellent job since being signed following an injury to Pacheco in September, Chiefs Kingdom really loves No. 10.
Pacheco, who suffered a broken ankle during a Week 2 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, was back for the Chiefs’ Black Friday contest against the Raiders at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
Chiefs fans gave Pacheco a hero’s welcome during pregame introductions.
Pacheco, a seventh-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, has helped the Chiefs to a pair of Super Bowl championships. That success and Pacheco’s hard-nosed, high-energy style of play has endeared him to fans.
When Pacheco had his first carry of Friday’s game, fans again let him hear it ... in a good way. Here is the response from fans to that first carry.
Pacheco’s presence was missed.
He ripped off a 34-yard run in the third quarter and it was the longest rush of the season for the Chiefs. Fans, as you might expect, were quite happy.
Ditto for Pacheco.
