Patrick Mahomes tells Raiders ‘this will be resolved’ as Chiefs star issues threatening response to Kermit the Frog taunt

The Las Vegas Raiders may have inadvertently lit a fire inside Patrick Mahomes.

On Thursday, the Raiders went viral after players were seen mocking the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback on the practice field.

Over the years, it has often been suggested that Mahomes sounds like Kermit The Frog.

The Raiders chose to take this joke up a notch when someone brought a Kermit puppet with them to camp.

The doll was customized to include Mahomes’ jersey and hair similar to his.

The clip of Raiders players laughing as defensive back Trey Taylor placed the puppet in his hand quickly made the rounds on X.

Now, the three-time Super Bowl-winning signal-caller has responded in what could be a chilling warning for his AFC West rivals.

“It’s still early in the year. Things like this happen,” Mahomes told reporters.

“It will be dealt with when it is dealt with.”

Mahomes’ short but sweet comment drew a lot of response from X fans, many of whom felt it was a bad omen for Las Vegas.

“600 yard game coming up,” suggested one fan.

“RIP Raiders,” commented a second.

“He didn’t look amused,” said another.

While a fourth added: “I mean it’s the Raiders they’d lose by 2 points anyway, maybe it’s 3 now?”

Along with Mahomes, coach Andy Reid also participated in the clip.

Asked if it was “a smart idea to encourage Patrick Mahomes,” Reid said CBS“I would probably say no.”

“We don’t spend a lot of time here with puppets. We try to do our job and get better. That’s what’s important.”

Raiders coach Antonio Pierce was also asked about the incident on Friday, telling reporters the matter was “addressed as a team.”

“We nipped it in the bud. It’s over,” he added.

Since taking over as Kansas City’s starter in 2018, Mahomes has gone 10-2 against Las Vegas.

Four of those wins saw the Chiefs score more than 40 points.

The Chiefs and Raiders are scheduled to meet on Oct. 27 at Allegiant Stadium.

They will then play at Arrowhead Stadium on November 29th.
