Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco worked as the clear lead rusher in his second game back from a fibula fracture Sunday night. He rushed 14 times vs. five for Kareem Hunt and one for Samaje Perine. None found much success. Pacheco also led the RBs in targets but saw pass routes split more evenly.
Previous reports indicated that Hardman's knee "locked up" on him before Friday's practice, something that now has landed him on injured reserve and will keep him out until at least Week 18. Hardman has been barely utilized in his second stint with the Chiefs, but his schemed usage in the short area could be eaten up by running back Samaje Perine in the meantime.
