Isiah Pacheco and Charles Omenihu Return as Chiefs Clinch Playoff Spot

Kansas City secures its 10th consecutive postseason berth with a narrow 19-17 win over the Raiders on Black Friday.

  • Running back Isiah Pacheco made his return after fracturing his right fibula in Week 2, rushing for 44 yards and catching one pass for 5 yards.
  • Pacheco split carries with Kareem Hunt, showcasing his explosive ability with a 34-yard run, the Chiefs' longest rushing play of the game.
  • Defensive end Charles Omenihu also returned after tearing his ACL last season, contributing to a stronger defensive effort with three team sacks against the Raiders.
  • The Chiefs struggled offensively, with quarterback Patrick Mahomes sacked five times, leading to adjustments on the offensive line mid-game.
  • Kansas City’s victory, combined with a Dolphins loss, ensured the team’s 10th straight playoff berth, one shy of the NFL record held by the Patriots.
