Jamaal is back

Jamaal Charles went down for the season around this time last year and it was devastating. The Chiefs were sitting at 1-4 at that time, and then lost their fifth game the following week.

Obviously we all know what happened, but now Jamaal Charles is officially back. He suited up for Sunday night’s game in Pittsburgh and though he didn’t make a huge impact (though to be fair, no one really did), it’s Jamaal freaking Charles.

This is the best running back in the franchise’s history, leading them in rushing yards and always being a go-to guy for Alex Smith and the offense. Having him back is huge.

Plus… Charles has always been a known Oakland Raiders killer. Remember when he went off for five touchdowns three seasons ago? Yeah, that was pretty special.

With Spencer Ware‘s fumbling issues, Charcandrick West not being healthy enough to play, and Knile Davis stinking it up, having Charles back is a tremendous thing for the KC Chiefs. They could really use him.
