The Kansas City Chiefs' attempt to make NFL history and win three consecutive Super Bowl titles hit another obstacle on Sunday despite improving their record to 2-0 with a win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco will likely be placed on the injured list after injuring his lower leg in the final minutes of the 26-25 victory. The NFL Network reported that Pacheco suffered a broken fibula.

Pacheco will likely be out for some time – the question is how much. A stint on the injured list will keep him out for at least four weeks, but a broken leg will take longer to heal. He is reportedly scheduled to undergo further tests on Monday.

The former Rutgers star was among the players from Kansas City's 2022 rookie draft class who had a breakout year en route to back-to-back Super Bowl titles, having 830 rushing yards and five touchdowns in his rookie season and 935 rushing yards and seven touchdowns last year.
