The one thing that the rest of the NFL doesn't want is for the Kansas City Chiefs, who sit at 9-1, to get stronger - but that's exactly what is about to happen.
With running back Isiah Pacheco being sidelined due to a broken leg suffered earlier in the year, he is now set to return in the coming weeks. With Kareem Hunt taking over as the lead back and playing well, Pacheco's return will give the offense a much-needed boost.
However, there could be some head-turning issues with having both Pacheco and Hunt in the backfield and trying to get them touches as there's only one football, but offensive coordinator Matt Nagy doesn't see that as a problem.
“It's a good problem, I don't see it as a problem,” Nagy said. “But for him to be able to get back into the mix, I always start off with who he is as a football player, what he does for our offense is great stuff. I mean he's growing as a young kid, as a young football player in this offense.
"But then you also take his personality, demeanor, his fire, energy, you throw that into the mix with Kareem [Hunt] and the other guys it does nothing but help you. So whenever that is, whether it's this week or next week, I'm just happy for him to be able to get back.”
With Hunt being the bell cow for Andy Reid in the absense of Pacheco, totaling 20+ carries in four straight games, and with Isiah returning, the Chiefs could get some much-needed boost out of the backfield.
Hunt's bruising nature, coupled with Pacheco's lightning-quick feet, they could develop into a dynamic one-two punch behind Patrick Mahomes, and that could spell trouble for the rest of the league.
Nagy doesn't see Pacheco's return as a problem, but the rest of the NFL might.
