During their second practice of training camp on Thursday, the Las Vegas Raiders took time out to have a little fun at the expense of superstar Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes is often compared to "Sesame Street" character Kermit the Frog because of his voice, and that's something the entire football world likes to have fun with — and the Raiders are certainly included in that group.
On Thursday, the Raiders passed around a Kermit the Frog puppet and imitated the character's voice. However, there was a slight difference from a normal Kermit the Frog puppet, as it was sporting Mahomes' hair and a Chiefs jersey.
Check out the hilarious clip that features Raiders rookie safety Trey Taylor putting on the puppet while his teammates do their best imitation.

Real bulletin board material for Mahomes right there.
The Chiefs have gotten the better of the Raiders by a mile since Mahomes took over, with Kansas City sporting a 10-2 record over Las Vegas in that span.
However, the Raiders got the last laugh in 2023 after they beat the Chiefs 20-14 on Christmas Day in Week 15, a win that Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said ruined his Christmas and made him envy how the Raiders played under Antonio Pierce.
"We got our a-- beat by the f-----g Raiders on Christmas. F-----g ruined Christmas," Kelce said on Bussin' With The Boys. "[Antonio Pierce], he had those dudes were ready to brawl out there on the field. 100% man. And I love that s--t. I was like, man if we play with that kind of edge, or that kind of toughness, that kind of like don't f--k with us mentality, we won't be stopped. And it just kind of ended up like that. But that Raiders game was definitely a turning point."
The Chiefs and Raiders will meet for the first time in 2024 in Week 8 in Las Vegas, and then again in Week 13 in Kansas City.
