Patrick Mahomes enacts revenge over Raiders as Chiefs remain undefeated thanks to Travis Kelce touchdown
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce starred in a 27-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders to keep the Chiefs’ unbeaten record intact and move to 7-0 on Sunday.
Aside from the victory, Mahomes enacted revenge on the Raiders after they mocked the three-time Super Bowl MPV during preseason camp with a Kermit the Frog reference.
During training camp, Raider safety Trey Taylor was filmed holding a Kermit puppet, dressed in a Mahomes jersey with a curly wig attached to its head. The rest of the team could be heard in the background, imitating the Muppets character’s voice – which often gets likened to Mahomes’.
While Mahomes was made the butt of the joke in the video, he got the last laugh on the field with another impressive performance on the road.
Mahomes completed 27 of 38 passes for 262 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

The Raiders pulled within 27-20 with 2:03 to go. Minshew hit Turner for an 11-yard touchdown on the 13th play of a 70-yard drive.
