Just troll, baby.
Apologies to Al Davis for co-opting his famous phrase, but that’s just what his franchise did to the media – and rightfully so – on Sunday afternoon, not long after the now-Las Vegas Raiders beat the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-32, at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Raiders’ official Twitter account posted two photos with the picks of 12 NFL media members – including heavy hitters like ESPN’s Trey Wingo, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, and CBS insider Jason La Canfora – who all chose the Chiefs to win the game, using only a self-drawn shrug as the text:
To be fair, even their own hometown didn’t have faith in the Raiders, as Kansas City was a near double-digit point favorite heading into the game, and all five of our RDC Sports experts also picked the undefeated defending Super Bowl champs.
Also to be fair, the Raiders hadn’t won at Arrowhead in any of their last seven tries, and quarterback Derek Carr was 0-6 in KC until today. A well-earned troll for the silver and black.
