Watch: Isiah Pacheco scores for the Kansas City Chiefs (and yes, Taylor Swift celebrates)
A homecoming of sorts for Isiah Pacheco as the Kansas City Chiefs running back is certainly enjoying his return to New Jersey. The former Rutgers football running back put the Chiefs up 10-0 midway through the first quarter and set Taylor Swift into celebrations.
Pacheco’s run of 48 yards against the New York Jets saw the former seventh-round pick nearly get stuffed in the backfield. But he cut and then with his typical angry running style, got quickly into the second level for his second touchdown of the season.
From Vineland, New Jersey, Pacheco is a former All-Big Ten selection at Rutgers. He certainly seems to be enjoying the home cooking on Saturday night as this is his first game in New Jersey since he entered the league.
Check out the play from Pacheco here and yes, for a quick glimpse of Taylor Swift:
