Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are the only undefeated team in the NFL with a 6-0 record. Now, their next challenge is another chapter in the historic rivalry against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Andy Reid has been extraordinary keeping together a roster which has suffered massive injuries. Before the half of the season, they’ve already lost Hollywood Brown, Isiah Pacheco and Rashee Rice.

Even in this complicated scenario, the Chiefs are Super Bowl favorites and currently there is no rival to dethrone them in the AFC West. However, there’s a big controversy that Mahomes hasn’t forgotten.

“I don’t know if you would say that resonates with me. I think just knowing the competitive spirit that they have on that side is going to match the competitive spirit that we have. I think it’s going to be a fun football game. We’re going to get the best of each player on that football field. Like I said, may the best team win.”
