The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing for a road trip to Cleveland in Week 15, set to face the 3-10 Cleveland Browns.
Before their matchup against the AFC foe, the NFL made an announcement regarding the Chiefs’ recent victory against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Kansas City hosted the Chargers on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 14, defeating the AFC West divisional rival, 19-17.
During the team’s victory over the Chargers, Kansas City running back Isiah Pacheco got away with a penalty, which was later reviewed by the league office.
In the second quarter of the game, Pacheco received a check-down pass from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. When attempting to gain yardage on first down, Pacheco put his head down and forcibly hit the defender with helmet-to-helmet contact.
While there was no flag on the play in real time, Pacheco was later dealt a $45,020 fine from the NFL’s league office.
Despite the fine for Pacheco, the Chiefs have been thriving as of late. They’re headed into Week 15 with a 12-1 record, riding a three-game win streak as the No. 1 team in the AFC standings.
The Chiefs enter a game against the Browns as a 4.5-point favorite, per ESPN BET. ESPN’s Matchup Predictor gives Kansas City a 60% chance to defeat the Browns on Sunday.
That game will kick off at 1 p.m. ET on CBS Sports.
While Pacheco has continued to ease his way back into the lineup, after returning from injured reserve, he’s helped the ground game flourish in Kansas City.
Pacheco returned from a fractured fibula, which he suffered in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
In four games this season, Pacheco has recorded one touchdown and 234 yards on 55 carries. He’s also added three touchdowns and 65 yards on 10 receptions.
