Isiah Pacheco, as a rookie, just scored a crucial touchdown for the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles.
On Kansas City’s first drive out of halftime, Pacheco took a 3-yard handoff into the end zone, breaking some tackles for the score. With his touchdown, Kansas City moves to within 3, down just 24-21 at the start of the 3rd quarter.
Not bad for a 7th-rounder! Come for the score, stay for the celebration.
