It’s been an eventful year for Patrick Mahomes‘ Kansas City Chiefs, to say the least. From winning a third Super Bowl in five years to having multiple players arrested over a range of charges to being gifted a history-making WR in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Chiefs have had a lot of emotions to deal with this calendar year.
The 2023 season may have ended with the Chiefs lifting the Lombardi but it can all be traced back to their Christmas Day loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Mahomes’ Kansas City was handed a wake-up call when Father Christmas came to town and the Raiders handed their behinds to them but ultimately took care of business when it got right down to it. That game averaged 29.6 million viewers, making it the second-most-watched Christmas Day game in NFL history behind the Bengals-Vikings showdown in 1989.
“We got our a** beat by the Raiders on Christmas. F**ing ruined Christmas, motherf***ers. Those dudes were ready to brawl out there on the field.”
However, it appears the Raiders have not yet gotten over that win over the reigning Super Bowl champions. A video went viral on Thursday, July 25, of a Raiders safety playing with a Kermit the Frog doll at training camp. The catch? The doll had Mahomes’ jersey on, a jibe at the three-time Super Bowl champion’s voice.

Mahomes though, opted to take the high road but served the Raiders a sly warning over the video. On Friday, after initially dismissing the viral video, he told reporters:
“It will get handled when it gets handled.”
