Chiefs' RBs currently rank worst in key stat of any backfield this century

The Kansas City Chiefs just haven't figured out the running back position this season.

In fact, by one measure, there's never been a worse backfield since 2000.

The Chiefs' mix of Kareem Hunt, Isiah Pacheco (injured), Brashard Smith, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Elijah Mitchell has lacked explosiveness at a historic rate.

This is what ESPN's Ben Solak shared on X on Monday:

"The 2025 Chiefs currently have an explosive rush rate on RB carries of 2.6% Would be the lowest number for an offense this century if it holds. Just an unacceptable lack of investment in the running game in Kansas City. Scheme and personnel (in my opinion)."
