Raiders Mock Mahomes with Kermit Doll

The Las Vegas Raiders have sparked controversy by bringing a Kermit the Frog doll, dressed in a Patrick Mahomes Chiefs jersey, to training camp, mocking the Kansas City quarterback's voice, which has often been likened to the Muppet character. This playful jab comes as the Raiders prepare for their upcoming matchups against Mahomes, against whom he boasts a 10-2 career record. Mahomes' personal trainer responded to the prank with a warning that they will remember this act, suggesting it may serve as motivation for Mahomes in their next games. Historically, such taunts haven't ended well for teams challenging Mahomes, who has a tendency to thrive under perceived slights. The Raiders hope to make a statement after an underwhelming 8-9 finish last season. Their first encounter with the Chiefs this season is scheduled for Week 8.
