After having a terrible start to their 21-22 campaign, it looks like the Kansas City Chiefs are slowly getting back on track. Last night saw the Chiefs register yet another victory as they crushed the Los Angeles Raiders 41 – 14.

While the dominant resurgence of Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs got all the attention, there was one more thing that garnered a lot of attention. During the second quarter of the match, a scissor was found in the middle of the ground. YES, you read that right. A scissor was found in the middle of the ground during the second quarter.

Las Vegas Raiders linesman finds scissors in the middle of the ground

In a bizarre set of events, during the second quarter of the match between the Chiefs and the Raiders, a scissor was found lying in the middle of the pitch. The game was set 7 points apiece and as soon as the referee blew the whistle, Raiders’ defensive player picked up scissors from the ground.

As soon as the scissors came under the linesman’s notice, the play was stopped momentarily for obvious reasons. While the good news is that no one got hurt, the alarming news is how the scissors reached the field in the first place? Was it malpractice by one player to get an unfair edge over the opposition? Or was it a silly mistake by the field maintenance officer? Whatever it is, let’s hope to never see such disturbing things on the field again!

USA Today via Reuters

Patrick Mahomes looked in fine form against the LA Raiders last night. The KC Chiefs quarterback threw five touchdown passes against the Raiders. The quarterback also had his first 400-yard passing game of the season, as he passed for 406 yards against the Raiders.

Another impressive aspect of his play against the Raiders was the fact that his passes didn’t get intercepted even once by the Raiders defense. His performance against the Raiders was a stark improvement from his week 9 display against the Packers, where he threw a career-low 166 yards. Here’s hoping that Mahomes gets back on track for the rest of the season!
