WATCH: Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco winning the heart of fans as he gives Kansas City late lead vs. Bills
The Kansas City Chiefs got out to a late lead over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night when running back Isiah Pacheco scored a clutch fourth-quarter touchdown.
Reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes drove the Chiefs’ offense downfield just before the third-quarter whistle and hit rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice for a quick gain that set Kansas City up near the end zone when play resumed.
Pacheco got the ball on first and goal and powered the ball past the goal line to give the Chiefs a two-point advantage.
Harrison Butker nailed the extra point after Pacheco’s touchdown scamper, which pushed Kansas City’s lead to three points.
This game has gone back and forth all night, and if the first three quarters were any indication, the outcome is far from decided.
The Chiefs have proven that they can score touchdowns against Buffalo’s ailing defense, and with a little over 10 minutes to play, the game could go either way.
Move over Travis Kelce? It appears that Taylor Swift is an Isiah Pacheco fan, the pop star and icon flashing 10 fingers in support of the Kansas City Chiefs running back. A former standout at Rutgers, this surreal moment from the NFL playoffs was in no one’s bingo card for 2024.
Pacheco scored a four-yard touchdown run with 14:20 remaining in the fourth quarter to give the Chiefs a 27-24 lead over the Buffalo Bills.
As of the midpoint of the fourth quarter, Pacheco had 86 rushing yards and a touchdown on 13 carries.
The hard, physical run saw Pacheco withstand a tough tackle at the end but momentum saw him across the goal line. The touchdown led to Swift, who is dating Pacheco’s teammate, the aforementioned Kelce, flashing her fingers 10 times in what appeared to be a celebration for the Chiefs running back.
Pacheco wears the No. 10 jersey for the Chiefs.
