From the episode

The difference between the run game of years past and the Chiefs' run game this year, it's not just night and day... To put it in perspective, their average yards before contact per attempt... it's the same as the Saints at 0.9... the Chiefs as a team, like all running backs, so Walker, Emmett, all of them, as a team, they are by far number one. 0.46 over triple, slightly over triple what the Saints are as a team.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Pacheco's run game is historically poor despite elite missed-tackle-force efficiency.

Pacheco is part of the Chiefs' run game, which the source describes as drastically underperforming compared to prior years; the source notes the Chiefs' average yards before contact per attempt is 0.9 (same as the Saints), and while the Chiefs lead the league in missed tackles forced per attempt at 0.46, this elite efficiency cannot overcome the poor run-blocking scheme, suggesting Pacheco's volume and efficiency are both compromised.
