Chiefs Coach Andy Reid Sends 10-Word Message to Raiders After Patrick Mahomes Puppet Troll

The Las Vegas Raiders went viral on Thursday after a video surfaced showing one of their players holding a Kermit the Frog puppet dressed as Patrick Mahomes. Many believe Vegas just gave Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs bulletin board material ahead of the 2024 season. Now, Kansas City coach Andy Reid has reacted to the clip.
During an interview with Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, Reid was asked about the Mahomes puppet troll job the Raiders conducted the previous day. The Chiefs coach had a brief response for Vegas .
"We don't spend a lot of time here with puppets," Reid said.
This was a perfect response from Reid. The Chiefs are a championship franchise and don't have time to play around. Not to mention, the team has essentially owned the Raiders over the last eight years. Mahomes holds a 10-2 record over Las Vegas while winning eight straight AFC West titles.
Kansas City has won back-to-back Super Bowls and is aiming to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight.

With that said, the Raiders reportedly did not bring the Kermit puppet themselves. Instead, a fan brought it to training camp and seventh-round rookie Trey Taylor played with it for a few moments. Reports also indicate that the puppet was not passed around as originally believed.
Either way, Reid, Mahomes and the entire Chiefs team are likely keeping receipts. Kansas City plays Las Vegas twice every season, and many believe Mahomes is going to go ballistic on the Raiders this season.
