When the Kansas City Chiefs played host to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14, the Raiders decided to be a bit disrespectful during pregame on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
Before the game started, Las Vegas players huddled on the Chiefs logo at midfield, a sign of disrespect to the home team that’s also a division rival.
Before the game, the Raiders were spotted holding a team huddle on the Chiefs’ logo.
Then on the first down of the game, the Chiefs scoop ‘n scored 😅
The irony of the Raiders’ taunting attempt was what ensued. Las Vegas ended their trip to Kansas City with what ended up being a 48-9 blowout loss to the defending AFC champions.

Chiefs Close Out Series Against Raiders Strongly
Kansas City’s offense posted 372 yards of total offense and five touchdowns. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 20-of-24 pass attempts for 258 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire gathered 37 yards on the ground on 10 carries and scored the two touchdowns for the offense. Running back Derrick Gore had the other offensive touchdown, which came on a 51-yard scamper during the 4th quarter.
Chiefs RB Derrick Gore takes the handoff up the middle for 51 yards and the TD. PAT is good.
The Chiefs’ defense had a strong outing as well. The unit accounted for five turnovers, four of which were fumbles, the first one being returned for a touchdown on the Raiders’ first offensive play of the day, and the other being an interception via Tyrann Mathieu.
