I think the pendulum has definitely swung, though. I can't imagine this team going into next season without expending prime assets of some kind on several backs.

He wasn't Kareem, but in the first Super Bowl you could have made the case that Damien Williams was the MVP. In the other two Super Bowl years we had Pacheco averaging 4.5 to 5 yards a carry. We're not a running team but every Super Bowl winner we've had could make explosive plays happen in the running game.
This year the Chiefs were 29th in yards per carry. Pacheco's longest run was 34 yards but that was an outlier because he didn't have many carries for double digit yards, period. Most games his longest carry was 8 or 9 yards. Hunt's season long was 20 yards and most of his games he never had a 15 yard carry. I would be curious to see how many 20 yard runs this team had from the running backs. I think it might literally be 2 or 3.
