First bad game I saw him have.
The fumble on goal could have been killer.
Some KC players were PO'ed
I know Pop rarely fumbles.
Only 3.3 avg rushing but 6 catches for 33 yds helped a lot
Its hard for RBs to shine in a Super Bowl
KC missing some good OL

He addresses it all right here. First and only fumble of the season. And he got a FAMILY quote in. He's grown up a lot, and he seems very grounded.

When's he gonna get paid?
Depends what you mean by “paid”.

KC has two more years of team control. They aren’t giving him a huge contract, and likely neither is any other team after that given Pacheco’s running style.

Best case he gets a second deal that pays him single digit millions for a few years, but he isn’t going to make anywhere near what “paid” is for other positions.

He's making almost $1MM per year so not like he's not getting paid
No. Get “paid” in NFL parlance is getting $25MM+ in guaranteed money. Generational wealth and enough to endow a scholarship at Rutgers and not even think twice about it.

Running backs who hold out for big $$$ like LeVeon Bell end up being told to go pound sand.

The best argument for why Pacheco won’t get paid is Pacheco,

You can always get RBs on day 2-3 of the draft who will be cheap and give you at least 70% of the production that the top RBs do.

It isn’t like positions like OT, where the drop off in talent is much more severe and the difference gets your QB killed.

The game has changed and the workhorse backs are no longer the norm as both the NFL and NCAAF rules now favor the high powered offenses.

Ask the Giants if they regret Barkley's contract. The one thing both Pop and Barkley do quite well is sell merchandise and fandom.

I realize NFL running backs dont get paid like they used to, and i understand rookie contracts. I am just hoping that he makes it to the next contract which while not max contracts like they used to be should set him up for life.

He signed a 4 year deal worth $3.8m. After agents and taxes he'll probably get less than half that. Seems like he's doing some endorsements which will help.

good news is he made about an extra $300k for the playoffs and SB win. (again :)

Isiah Pacheco becomes the first running back in NFL history to start and win two Super Bowl titles in his first two seasons!

Giants probably regret Jones contract more.
