Raiders Rookie Mocks Mahomes with Kermit Puppet

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes responded diplomatically to a viral video showing Las Vegas Raiders rookie Trey Taylor mocking him with a Kermit the Frog doll dressed in a Chiefs jersey. The doll, which references Mahomes' voice, was brought by a fan to the Raiders' training camp and used by Taylor in a joking manner that included a derogatory comment. Mahomes stated, 'It'll get handled when it gets handled,' maintaining his focus and suggesting the incident would serve as motivation. Raiders coach Antonio Pierce acknowledged addressing the situation internally without elaborating. The incident adds fuel to the long-standing, albeit recently one-sided, rivalry between the Chiefs and Raiders, who will face off again on October 27 in Las Vegas.
