After dropping as low as 75% during the first nine weeks of the season — even as the team remained undefeated — the confidence of Chiefs fans has returned to where it was in Week 1.
Who starts when Isiah Pacheco returns?

Not everyone expected the 29-year-old Kareem Hunt would be effective after returning to the team after six years. But in many ways, it’s as if he had never left. His average of 3.7 yards a carry isn’t turning heads — but his success rate of 60.4% ranks second in the league. (For comparison, Isiah Pacheco’s highest comparable success rate was 57.1% in 2022). Still, when he returns from his injury, a clear majority of Kansas City fans would like to see Pacheco be the team’s starting running back.
Should Kingsley Suamataia start again?

In his second NFL start as the Chiefs’ left tackle, second-round rookie Kingsley Suamataia had a bad day against the Cincinnati Bengals’ Trey Hendrickson. Second-year player Wanya Morris took his place, but has also turned in some less-than-ideal performances — although he just had a solid game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Monday Night Football.” Just the same, more than seven in 10 fans would like to see Suamataia get another chance to start.
