Kansas City Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon has been inevitable in the past six weeks regarding scoring touchdowns in the passing game.
With a two-yard touchdown reception against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 18, McKinnon has now recorded his ninth receiving touchdown of the 2022 NFL season. He now has a touchdown catch in six consecutive games, which is the second-longest streak in franchise history, trailing only TE Travis Kelce.

This comes a week after McKinnon made NFL history, becoming the first running back in the Super Bowl era (since 1970) to record a touchdown reception in five consecutive games. Now, McKinnon extends that record to six games.
McKinnon also extended a franchise record. His nine receiving touchdowns are two more than any Chiefs running back has recorded in a single season in franchise history.
Not a bad way to end the 2022 NFL season for McKinnon, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. It’s a safe bet that he’ll be looking for a big payday after his performance in the passing game.
