Super Bowl LIX started fine for the Kansas City Chiefs. On their first offensive play, Patrick Mahomes hit JuJu Smith-Schuster for 11 yards and a first down. That was the last first down the Chiefs would get until the third quarter, after Kendrick Lamar's halftime show and long after the Philadelphia Eagles had turned the game into a blowout.

Kansas City finished 22nd in the league in rushing. So, even knowing Pacheco would return, they sought to bolster the position this offseason. They signed veteran Elijah Mitchell, who had the best of his three seasons with the San Francisco 49ers as a rookie in 2021, when he rushed for 963 yards and five touchdowns.
