Chiefs X-Factor vs. Ravens, and it’s not Patrick Mahomes
The Kansas City Chiefs need a big game from their x-factor to beat the Ravens.
The Kansas City Chiefs are hoping for a big win on the road this coming weekend over the Baltimore Ravens that would send them to the Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium.
On Sunday afternoon, the focus will be on the game itself, with the defending Super Bowl champs set to take on John Harbaugh’s surging AFC contenders.
With Patrick Mahomes firmly in the spotlight of the in-game broadcasters’ comments, you might think that Mahomes is the x-factor in Sunday’s game. The real x-factor for the Chiefs is a running back who made his presence felt in this past Sunday’s big win over Buffalo in New York State.
Isiah Pacheco is the Chiefs’ X-Factor
Pacheco is not thought of among the Chiefs’ long list of star offensive players, but he is quickly becoming one in today’s modern NFL.
Pacheco can do a little bit of everything. He’s not a classic back in the mold of Emmitt Smith or LaDainian Tomlinson who is likely to carry the ball 300 times in a season, but he finds way to impact the game and to come up big in the big moments.
This season, Pacheco ran for over 900 yards and seven touchdowns. He also caught 44 passes for 244 yards.
Last week, he ran for almost 100 yards and a touchdown as the Chiefs once again eliminated Josh Allen’s Bills from the playoffs.
For the Chiefs to win against Harbaugh and the Ravens, they need to get Pacheco the ball in the right spots at the right time.
Pacheco is the type of player who thrives when the attention is not on him, so it may take a series of patented Andy Reid smokescreens to free the Chiefs x-factor against what should be a swarming Mike McDonald-led defense.
Chiefs vs. Ravens Set for 3 p.m. ET
The Chiefs are hoping for a big performance from Pacheco with another eye on shutting down, or at least slowing down, Jackson in their matchup in the Charm City.
Jackson ran for 100 yards and two touchdowns last week against the Texans.
Impressive for a quarterback, he outpaced the Chiefs’ leading rusher Pacheco. Jackson also threw for 152 yards and two touchdowns on the day, once again granting him the title of perhaps the most talented NFL quarterback never to win a Super Bowl.
Jackson, who played his college ball for the Louisville Cardinals, is a patient runner and passer who knows how to keep the chains moving. He is adept at preventing the opposing team’s offense from ever seeing the field while grinding out first downs with his legs and completing key passes over the top of a sucked-in defense due to their fears of a rushing attack.
Pacheco’s success can help impact the defense’s success.
Between Pacheco running and catching passes and Kelce keeping the chains moving over the middle of the field, the Chief have a bonafide one-two punch that the Ravens will have to account for at all times.
If Chris Jones and the Chiefs’ aggressive defense can’t shut down Jackson and the Ravens’ offense fully, the next best way to prevent Jackson from taking over the game is to beat the Ravens at their own game.
Pacheco’s versatility gives Coach Reid’s team the chance to do just that, as the x-factor Coach Harbaugh and company must be prepared for on Sunday.

BREAKING NEWS: U.S. Immigration Crackdown: Trump Suspends Green Card Lottery Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump has suspended the U.S. Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, commonly known as the green card lottery, marking a major escalation in his administration’s immigration crackdown. The program, which grants up to 55,000 permanent residency visas annually to applicants from underrepresented countries, has been a legal pathway to the United States for millions worldwide. The White House said the suspension is aimed at strengthening national security and shifting the immigration system toward a merit-based framework. Administration officials argue the lottery lacks sufficient screening standards and does not align with the president’s broader immigration priorities. Trump has repeatedly criticized the program, calling it outdated and vulnerable to abuse. The decision has drawn swift criticism from immigrant advocacy groups and Democratic lawmakers, who say the move unfairly targets applicants from Africa, Asia, and other developing regions where the lottery has played a significant role. Critics warn the suspension will limit legal immigration options and separate families who have waited years for a chance to apply. Supporters of the policy, however, praise the move as a necessary step to tighten border controls and prioritize skills-based immigration. They argue the suspension reflects voter demands for stricter or lead to permanent legislative changes. Legal challenges are expected, and immigration advocates say they will continue to push Congress to restore the program.
🖲 Breaking news:Trump Asks Supreme Court To Overturn E. Jean Carroll Verdict Former President Donald Trump has taken his legal battle to the U.S. Supreme Court, asking the justices to overturn the civil verdict in favor of writer E. Jean Carroll—a move that is already sparking intense national debate. The verdict, which found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation and ordered him to pay millions in damages, marked a historic moment in U.S. legal history. Trump has consistently denied the allegations, calling the case politically motivated and the ruling unfair. Trump’s legal team argues the case raises serious constitutional and free-speech concerns, warning that the decision could weaken presidential protections and expose current and former leaders to endless lawsuits. If the Supreme Court agrees to hear the appeal, the outcome could reshape the limits of presidential immunity and redefine accountability for those who once held the nation’s highest office. For now, the verdict remains in effect as the court decides its next move.see more 👇👇👇
BREAKING NEWS Donald Trump says former White House physician Ronny Jackson told him he was “by far the healthiest” president—ranking above Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Speaking at a Hanukkah reception on December 16, 2025, Trump recalled being present when Jackson was asked who was the healthiest among the three presidents. According to Trump, the doctor’s response was direct: “Trump was by far the healthiest.” Now 79 years old, Trump used the remark to reinforce claims of strong physical health amid growing public attention on his age. The statement aligns with Jackson’s past praise, including a 2024 declaration that Trump was “the healthiest president this nation has ever seen.” Trump’s comments follow recent medical evaluations, including MRI scans conducted in October 2025, which reportedly showed “perfectly normal” results. His medical team has described him as being in excellent overall health, despite his advanced age. However, Jackson himself has faced controversy this year, with reports of misconduct and a demotion from his military rank. His continued loyalty to Trump has fueled mixed public reactions, raising questions about credibility and objectivity see more 👇👇👇
