The Las Vegas Raiders decided to poke the bear for no reason.

The Kansas City Chiefs are the team that everyone is trying to catch up to. I mean that’s not shocking. They have won two straight Super Bowls and are looking to secure their third in a row this season.
The 2024 season is a brand new ball game for everyone around the league and teams are looking to take down KC Kingdom.
It will be a tall task for them and the Las Vegas Raiders just gave Patrick Mahomes bulletin board material. On Thursday, Raiders defensive back Trey Taylor was seen walking around the practice field with a Kermit the Frog doll that had a Mahomes wig and jersey on.
That wasn’t a wise move and Mahomes responded to it on Friday.
Chiefs News: Patrick Mahomes Responds To Trolling From Raiders
Mahomes was asked about the incident and he answered perfectly.
“It’s still early in the year. … It’ll get handled when it gets handled.”
– Patrick Mahomes
Since taking over as the starter in 2018, Mahomes has dominated the Raiders, going 10-2. In those 12 matchups, Mahomes has completed 66% of his passes for 3,573 passing yards with 30 passing touchdowns to just four interceptions.
So, for the Raiders players trying to troll Mahomes is outlandish and outright dumb. Why would you want to give the best player in the league more ammo when he suits up against you?
Who knows what they are thinking but one thing that’s for sure, no one is worrying about the Raiders over in Kansas City. The Chiefs have won the AFC West for eight straight seasons and 2024 will likely make it nine.
These antics just gave the October 27th matchup against Las Vegas some more juice. And that’s where Mahomes will handle it.
