Where Has Home-Field Advantage Gone For NFL Teams? | FOX Sports
Some teams are good enough to be good everywhere. The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, who have met in two of the past three Super Bowls, are perfect examples of that. Philadelphia is 24-10 at home and 24-10 on the road over the past four seasons, and Kansas City is close, going 27-7 at home and a league-best 25-9 on the road.
2025 fantasy football running back rankings | PFF
29. Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City Chiefs
Isiah Pacheco scored the 15th-most fantasy points in 2023 but couldn’t build on that momentum after an injury took away half of his season, and he wasn’t nearly as effective upon his return. The Kansas City Chiefs retained Kareem Hunt and brought in Elijah Mitchell, which gives Pacheco some competition on early downs, but they also didn’t re-sign Samaje Perine, opening the door for someone to step up in passing situations. The general appeal of a Chiefs running back is that they are typically a high-scoring offense, so even though they pass the ball a lot, their running back should score a lot of touchdowns. The offense hasn’t scored as many points in the last two seasons, but that could change this year with a healthy wide receiver room. There’s a chance he gets back to his 2023 form, scoring potentially more touchdowns, but there is also a chance he is in an ugly three-man backfield that changes from one week to the next, making it impossible to know if or when you can start him. There are plenty of scenarios in between, making him a fine gamble outside of the top-24 running backs.
Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes Gives Credit Where Credit is Due | SI
That being said, Mahomes recently joined T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert on Sidekicks Conversations to discuss several things. When Sievert asked Mahomes to take him behind the scenes of the Chiefs’ success, he had a very clear answer as to where the success stems from.
“It starts with Coach Reid,” Mahomes told Sievert. “It starts with the organization that we’re in, and he has a standard that every single day you’re coming there to get better or get worse. And I think we hold each other to that standard.”
“There’s a belief, whenever you start winning, whenever you start having success, you believe in each other. And I think that’s something that’s extremely important, is that we have a belief in each other that we’re going to find a way to win, no matter how the game is going, the outcome will always be in our favor.”
