Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco got the perfect homecoming gift on "Sunday Night Football" against the New York Jets.
A Vineland, New Jersey native, Pacheco actually grew up a Philadelphia Eagles fan, but his friends and family have flocked to Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey to see him play. In the opening quarter of the game, Pacheco is already putting on a show.
The Chiefs needed a yard on third-and-short and Pacheco gave them 48 yards and a touchdown.
Pacheco followed the block of RG Trey Smith, who took out two defenders to spring him for the score.
This 48-yard rushing touchdown happens to be the longest rush of Pacheco's NFL career, which is fitting being that it happened in his home state.
“It’s going to be fun," Pacheco told reporters earlier this week of playing in New Jersey. "(I’ve got) a lot of people coming from back home. But for me just eliminating distractions and focus on the task and get the job done.”
Well, the second-year running back certainly didn't let the distractions get the best of him and got the job done here.
