As the Kansas City Chiefs get ready to face the Houston Texans in the NFL Divisional Round on Saturday, let’s take a closer look at the running back tandem of Kareem Hunter and Isiah Pacheco. Together, the pair played a major role in helping the Chiefs (15-2) capture the AFC’s No. 1 overall seed and home-field advantage.

Hunt rushed eight times for 44 yards and a touchdown while grabbing his only target for two yards in Saturday's 23-14 divisional round win over the Texans. Hunt led Kansas City's backfield in touches and production while backfield mate Isiah Pacheco (5-18-0) struggled to gain any traction.

Running back Kareem Hunt's 12-yard burst gets the Kansas City Chiefs into red zone late in fourth quarter against the Houston Texans.

During the Chiefs’ first playoff game of the year, Travis Kelce predictably made a pivotal big play, reeling in a pass from Patrick Mahomes near mid-field and breaking a few tackles before getting taken down a few yards shy of the end zone.

The Chiefs will need Hunt and Pacheco to perform at their peak level Saturday in a rematch against the Houston Texans in the AFC’s divisional round for the offense to be at its most potent. After their break, Hunt and Pacheco are expected to be as rested and healthy as they’ve been since they became a duo in late November.

Nagy’s mind flashed back to Hunt’s rookie year, when he hit the open field and scored on a 69-yard run against the San Diego Chargers. That was despite the coaching staff wanting him to fall down before the end zone so the team could run out the clock.
