The Raiders hosted the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs defeated their opponent and advanced to 14-3. They also saved a seat for themselves in the playoff. From here, the Patrick Mahomes-led roster will set its sights on winning the Lombardi Trophy. To pull out an impressive move, the team got into a huddle. But the fans on Twitter did not really find it fun, and they criticized the team.

The lead quarterback of the team rose like a shining star in the game, as 2023 marked the best season in his overall NFL career. He completed 18 of his 26 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown, good for a first-passing grade of 85.0 or above.

However, when they formed a hurdle in the middle of the game, where they outdid themselves, they met with objections from fans.

What was wrong with the hurdle?

The judgments not only came from the hurdle but from their weak play, which cost a penalty.

Kansas City is famous for making new formations and unique plays. It was one of the most surprising moments when the players did a spinning merry-go-round hurdle, broke out of it, and scrambled to their positions. Then they snapped to the running back who threw to Mahomes. The starting QB, however, threw it to the left.

The name of the play was called ‘Snow Globe’, which they made up before Christmas. “We actually practiced it, kind of messing around, and Coach Reid was like ‘I like that.’”

Sadly, the fun touchdown did not count. Officials took the touchdown off the board as it held a penalty. Kadarius Toney caught that touchdown; he later compensated and gave the Chiefs a 21-3. 

Fans bluntly call out Patrick Mahomes and his team members

Fans were upset that the team earned an unnecessary penalty.

But there were fans who did not mind the mistake and wished the best for the team.
