Brittany Mahomes revived her well-known social media trolling habit after the Kansas City Chiefs escaped Allegiant Stadium with a 30-27 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, using the Raiders' own coach's words against them.
Mahomes posted a carousel of photos showing her outfit from the game, captioning the post with a quote from Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak, who told CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson at halftime that Las Vegas was going to win.
«We're winning. We're gonna win the game,» Mahomes wrote, echoing Kubiak's confident halftime declaration.
The Raiders appeared to be in control at the break, taking a 13-10 lead into the locker room. Kubiak's certainty seemed justified at that moment, but the Chiefs had Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, and that changed everything in the fourth quarter.
Kansas City exploded for three touchdown drives in the final frame, outscoring Las Vegas 20-14. The Chiefs took their first lead of the second half with 3:21 remaining when Mahomes connected with Tyquan Thornton on a 55-yard pass, setting up Kenneth Walker for a short touchdown run. Thornton suffered a gruesome injury on the play, but the Chiefs' momentum continued.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Raiders fumbled, and Kansas City capitalized with another Walker touchdown. Las Vegas clawed back to within three points when Kirk Cousins found Brock Bowers for a 20-yard score, but Cousins' critical interception on the Raiders' final drive sealed the outcome.
The win improved Kansas City to 4-0 on the season, while Las Vegas dropped to 3-1. After the game, Patrick Mahomes emphasized the importance of perseverance.
«I think you have to stay with it,» he said. «I keep saying it, but it's not always going to be pretty. That's a good football team, a good defense. It's not going to always be light it up and go out there and scoring 50 points or whatever. It's if you stay with the process, it's going to come.»
Brittany Mahomes has long been a fixture in the NFL's social media landscape, frequently drawing attention for her posts celebrating Chiefs victories and needling opponents. Her latest troll comes as the Chiefs remain undefeated and the Raiders absorb a painful divisional loss.
The game also highlighted the Raiders' defensive struggles, particularly against the run, which allowed Kansas City to control the fourth quarter. For Las Vegas, the defeat raises questions about closing out games against elite opponents.
For the Mahomes family, the night ended with another win and another viral moment, as Brittany's post quickly circulated among fans and sports commentators.
