Clyde Edwards-Helaire was hoping to rip off some long runs as he got the start on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. At the very least, he was able to rip part of his pants in a humorous part of the third quarter.
Edwards-Helaire is getting a bit more action than normal in Week 14 in the wake of recent injuries to Isiah Pacheco (who is out with a shoulder contusion) and Jerick McKinnon (who has missed time with a groin injury in recent weeks but is playing today). In the midst of getting more carries against the Bills, Edwards-Helaire's uniform showed it's not used to such physical demands.
As the Chiefs drove in the third quarter on their first drive of the second half, Edwards-Helaire had this unfortunate rip happen to his pants:

Hopefully the Chiefs will be able to clothes this one out. We're sure there are several more jokes than can be made here, but we don't want to get attired of talking about it.
