The intense rivalry between the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders took a humorous turn at the Raiders’ training camp.
Amid ongoing tension, the Raiders introduced a Kermit the Frog puppet dressed as Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
This playful jab comes after the Raiders avenged their Thanksgiving loss by defeating the Chiefs on Christmas Day last season, a defeat Mahomes acknowledged was particularly painful.
The puppet, circulating in Costa Mesa, was highlighted by Ari Meirov from The 33rd Team, igniting further animosity between the two teams.
Chiefs’ defensive end Maxx Crosby and Mahomes have been central figures in this rivalry, and this latest stunt is likely to fuel the competitive fire.
The Chiefs might respond before their Week 8 showdown at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. This rivalry continues to be one of the most compelling narratives in the AFC West as the new NFL season approaches.
