Stroud\u2018s squad while hosting at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p>One of the primary concerns for the Chiefs heading into this matchup with the Texans is the run game, with the team potentially having three new starters on the offensive line, which obviously could drastically change how the offense functions, especially out of the backfield.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Isiah Pacheco\u2019s Message for Chiefs\u2019 Offensive Line<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5641987\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2242272196-e1765014852162.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco Sends Clear Message on Offensive Line Injuries\" width=\"780\" height=\"440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5641987\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5641987\">GettyRunning back Isiah Pacheco #10 of the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Obviously, with the offensive line being a primary concern heading into this Week 14 matchup against a very good Texans squad, Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco will be directly impacted.<\/p>\n<p>The veteran running back was asked about the concerns on the offensive line and how he feels ahead of the clash with the Texans on Sunday during his media availability this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConfident,\u201d Pacheco said. \u201cConfident in coach\u2019s scheme and we\u2019re ready to roll.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite Pacheco\u2019s confidence and faith in legendary head coach Andy Reid, the Chiefs\u2019 offense will be put to the test in Week 14, and there\u2019s no telling how things will pan out for the storied franchise, even though they\u2019ll have the advantage of playing at home.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Travis Kelce Makes Bold Claim About Chiefs<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5642000\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2249657589-e1765015671240.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco Sends Clear Message on Offensive Line Injuries\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5642000\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5642000\">GettyTravis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>With the Chiefs sporting a record of 6-6 following the loss to the Cowboys, the storied franchise will have its back against the wall coming into this matchup against the Texans.<\/p>\n<p>Even though this is panning out to be a disappointing season for the Chiefs, superstar tight end Travis Kelce believes the team has been only a \u201cfew plays away\u201d from being the league\u2019s elite squad in the AFC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure everyone is sick of us saying it, but we\u2019re a few plays away from being a one seed in my mind,\u201d\u00a0Kelce said. \u201cIt\u2019s crazy that you watch the film and you see what\u2019s real.

Bo Nix and company have one of the best records in the NFL at 10-2 and are well on their way to winning the division crown, while the Chiefs need some things to go their way during the final stretch of the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco opens up about the team potentially being shorthanded on the offensive line in a crucial game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39134,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
