There are few teams worse-equipped to be handing out bulletin board material, but the Las Vegas Raiders went ahead and did it anyway.
Vegas entered Sunday’s game against the AFC West-leading Kansas City Chiefs with a 6-6 record. The Raiders really can’t afford to lose many more games, so perhaps they were just trying to get fired up when they decided to hold a pre-game huddle on the Chiefs logo.
It was a stunt that obviously had a ton of potential to go wrong. And that it did, as the Chiefs put 35 unanswered points on the board before the Raiders even made a field goal. Kansas City also scored the five touchdowns before halftime.
So, perhaps rightfully, folks were quick to rip on the Raiders for the ill-fated move.
So, to review, what we’ve learned here is that the Raiders not only are a bad football team, but a stupid one, too.
