Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid took a hysterical shot at the Las Vegas Raiders for taunting his quarterback.

The Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs have emerged as the NFL’s golden franchise, with three Super Bowl championships in the last five years. And when you’re winning repeatedly, you will naturally become increasingly loathed by your opponents.

Case in point: The Raiders’ risky decision to taunt Mahomes and his “Kermit the Frog” voice during a recent team practice. Rookie Trey Taylor was filmed mocking Mahomes with his teammates, using a Kermit puppet that featured a Mahomes jersey and wig:

Jonathan Jones of CBS got to chat with Andy Reid about the Raiders’ mockery of his star quarterback. Though Reid usually avoids trash talk, he couldn’t resist the opportunity to take a jab at the Chiefs’ AFC West rivals.

“We don’t spend a lot of time here with puppets,” Reid said. “We try to do our work and try to get better, you know. That’s the important thing.”

 

Per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com, Mahomes told reporters that the puppet saga with the Raiders will “get handled when it gets handled.” The first of two meetings between Kansas City and Las Vegas is scheduled for Week 8 (Oct. 27) in Sin City at 4:25 p.m. EST).

Andy Reid Has Owned Raiders As Chiefs Head Coach

The Chiefs have been the class of the AFC West since Reid arrived as head coach 11 years ago. Kansas City has its way with all three of its divisional opponents, but the Raiders have especially struggled against Reid’s squad.

Kansas City is 10-2 against the Raiders since Mahomes took over as the Chiefs’ starting quarterback in 2018. Before that, Reid went 8-2 against the Raiders over his first five years (2013 t o 2017) as KC’s head coach.

So it’s not a good idea for the Raiders to be poking a coach and quarterback that have dominated them for a decade now. Fans of the Silver and Black better hope that their team is ready to play when they welcome Kansas City to Allegiant Stadium in three months.

NFL Fans Are Scratching Their Heads After Jerry Jones Strangely Compared Himself To 3-Time Super Bowl Champion Patrick Mahomes

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has football fans losing their minds after strangely comparing himself to Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Jerry Jones has faced intense criticism this offseason for failing to deliver on his promise that the Cowboys would be “all-in” this offseason. Jones made the comments two weeks after the Cowboys were humiliated by the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round, per the team’s official website:

“I would anticipate – with looking ahead at our key contracts that we’d like to address – we will be all in. I would anticipate we will be all in at the end of this year…

It will be going all in on different people than you’ve done in the past. We will be going all in. We’ve seen some things out of some of the players that we want to be all in on. Yes, I would say that you will see us this coming year not build it for the future. It’s the best way I’ve ever said. And that ought to answer a lot of questions.”

Jones spoke to reporters about the team’s expectations for 2024. During his press conference, the longtime NFL owner made a strange comparison of himself to Kansas City’s signal-caller, via Air Meirov of The 33rd Team:

“We’re buying time. We’re an option quarterback and then we’re going on out towards the sideline. We haven’t handed it off, we haven’t pitched it. We’re trying to make our mind up of what to do, does that sound like (Patrick) Mahomes to you? A little bit? Okay.”

 

And don’t worry, folks. NFL X/Twitter is just as confused as you are over Jerry Jones’ strange comparison to Patrick Mahomes:

Training camp season is upon us, and Jerry Jones still hasn’t made a single notable trade or free agent signing to help his roster. Dallas has lost a handful of impact players from last year, including star offensive linemen Tyron Smith and Tyler Biadasz, top running back Tony Pollard and All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore.

In the meantime, Mahomes and his Chiefs are gearing up for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to three-peat. In the last five years alone, Mahomes has as many Super Bowls (three) as the Cowboys have won (1992, 1993 and 1995) since Jones became the owner in 1989.

Jerry Jones Should Do Less Talking & More Action

Most NFL owners try to limit their availability to the media, but Jones is always more than happy to speak openly to reporters. But at the end of the day, much of Jones’ pressers are nothing more than word salad.

Cowboys fans don’t want to hear Jones expressing optimism. They want to see him actually make moves that put Dallas in a better position to compete for a Super Bowl, and he can start by extending quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and/or linebacker Micah Parsons.
