Video: Raiders Troll Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes with Kermit Doll at Training Camp

Joseph ZuckerJul 25, 2024

Didn't the Las Vegas Raiders already learn it's a bad idea to poke the bear?

During training camp on Thursday, some Raiders players had fun with a Kermit the Frog doll dressed to resemble Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes. According to The Athletic's Tashan Reed, a fan in attendance at Raiders camp handed the doll to safety Trey Taylor after asking him to hold it.

Mahomes' trainer, Bobby Stroupe, replied to the video with a succinct message: "We will remember."

Fans have long said Mahomes sounds like the beloved Muppet character, and even the three-time champion has leaned into the bit.

A reporter asked Mahomes for his best Kermit impression during the media day for Super Bowl LVIII, and he responded by saying, "I'm talking right now. That's it."

Still, it's a little different with a division rival—or its fans—making jokes at your expense.

And for Las Vegas, mocking an opponent who has had your number is a bold call. Mahomes is 10-2 against the Raiders all time, and he has thrown for 3,573 yards, 30 touchdowns and four interceptions in those contests.

The last meeting between the teams ended in a 20-14 for Las Vegas, and head coach Antonio Pierce is fully confident the Raiders can repeat that result.

We'll find out in Week 8 whether that self-belief is misplaced.
