As the Kansas City Chiefs get ready to face the Houston Texans in the NFL Divisional Round on Saturday, let’s take a closer look at the running back tandem of Kareem Hunter and Isiah Pacheco.

Hunt rushed eight times for 44 yards and a touchdown while grabbing his only target for two yards in Saturday's 23-14 divisional round win over the Texans. Hunt led Kansas City's backfield in touches and production while backfield mate Isiah Pacheco (5-18-0) struggled to gain any traction.
