The Kansas City Chiefs are expected to be without their top offensive weapon in the backfield this week when they take on the New England Patriots in Week 15. The Chiefs, who are coming into the contest losers of two straight games, need to take advantage of a lowly 3-10 Patriots team.
The Patriots defense could present a problem for the Chiefs. For all of the Patriots’ woes this season, defense has not been one of them. The Chiefs’ wide receivers have been their biggest problem.
But the Chiefs could be without their best running back.

According to Adam Schefter with ESPN, there is doubt surrounding Isiah Pacheco’s chances to play the Patriots after he missed his second day of practice this week.

Pacheco has been one of the Chiefs’ most reliable players on offense this season. Clyde Edwards-Helaire will likely be the lead running back for the Chiefs if Pacheco cannot go. But Edwards-Helaire is averaging only 3.5 yards per rush this season.
