00:00Let's get to some of the player numbers for this.

00:02As I said at halftime, like I was looking for Herbert passing props, and I didn't see

00:06any listed on the Fandles sportsbook.

00:08Granted, I didn't check DraftKings because the Juan Soto news was happening as well at

00:12the time, but Herbert had 96 passing yards at halftime.

00:16He ended the game with 213, so he probably went over his live number.

00:20I would love to have known what his live number was if it was posted anywhere.

00:24Herbert, 213, the one passing touchdown, Mahomes, 210, and the one passing touchdown, I did

00:29say Mahomes' halftime number for his passing prop was sitting at 243.

00:36He falls under that, so a modest gain for Mahomes, all things considered.

00:41We did see good usage from Pacheco on the ground.

00:44Gus Edwards got a little bit going on the ground for the Chargers.

00:46He did get their touchdown.

00:48We did see the touchdown of Quinton Johnson.

00:50Josh Palmer came up with a big game, and then it was a little bit of Kelsey, a little bit

00:55of Worthy, a little bit of DeAndre Hopkins.

00:57They had a well-balanced offense, the Chiefs, that is, on their side of things.

01:01We are seeing Kareem Hunt.

01:04We are seeing him pushed out of the offense just a little bit, and this is not too much

01:08of a surprise.

01:09Obviously, the Friday game for the Chiefs versus the Raiders last week after Thanksgiving,

01:15Pacheco played an extremely limited role.

01:18It was his first game back.

01:19I think, all things considered, we could have or we should have expected that.

01:23Only seven carries.

01:25This week, he's up to 14.

01:26This is probably where we will start to see that flip happen, where we're going to see

01:31Pacheco, I'm going to say, let's call it like a 75-25, I don't know, 70-30, 60-40 kind of

01:38split, where Pacheco should be back for the Chiefs, and Kareem Hunt will play a complementary

01:45role.

01:46We're going to see the majority of touches go to Pacheco, but it's not going to be like

01:51a clear number one and a clear backup.

01:53It's like a 1A, and then maybe not just a necessary 1B, but a half-step two behind Pacheco.

02:01It's good to note that.

02:02We're seeing the volume go to Pacheco.

02:03We can obviously use that going forward for carries, for yards.

02:06He'll eventually find his way into the end zone.

02:08Again, Chiefs, 19-7, we still cover the pregame line.

02:12This game also hits the under.
