Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco's unique running style has caught some attention this season. 

Over the past two games against the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins, he's amassed 186 rushing yards and two rushing TDs, showing off his brand of physical running. Memes and reactions to his running have since gone viral in the funniest of ways.

The Chiefs' social media team got Pacheco's reactions to several of those memes and reactions last week.

Speaking to media members on Wednesday, Pacheco laughed off some of the wild things said about how he runs the football. 

"I'll say the funniest one that I saw, they said I run like I bite people," Pacheco said. "I ain't no zombie. Like that was crazy. That was one of the funniest ones. You said I run like I want to fight the ground. Fight the grass. That's crazy."

When asked to describe his running style, his demeanor quickly shifted. It went from fun and games to serious and intense. 

"It's great (that people have an) opinion on the way I run," Pacheco said. "For me, it's just being determined and understanding we have a goal to achieve. And we want to get the job done."

Defeating the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game and returning the Lamar Hunt Trophy to Kansas City is the next goal in mind, knowing that it also would mean appearing in the Super Bowl for a second consecutive season.
