The Kansas City Chiefs 30-29 win over the divisional-rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5 had plenty of drama.
Whether it was the four-touchdown performances of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce, or several penalties being called in favor of the Raiders, Chiefs fans could be heard loud and clear throughout the game, creating an electric atmosphere at Arrowhead Stadium.
However, a select few fans took things too far, according to one Las Vegas player.
“Crazy Game in a Crazy Atmosphere but at the end of the day we’re all human…so for the trash fans shouting out the N word as we ran into the tunnel for halftime does that make you feel good about yourself ?? Seriously that s**t is weak af,” Raiders offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor wrote after the game on Twitter.

The accusation made by Eluemunor was a strong one, but there were witnesses — reliable ones — according to Eluemunor.
“And for any of y’all saying this is a ‘baseless accusation’ there was cop right behind me who confirmed he heard the same thing I did..” he continued.
