Raider fans— How y’all doing?
The 1-4 record was already sad and then the Chiefs just had to make it worse.
You can thank Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce for that one.
On one hand, you have Mahomes bringing back the team down 17-0, and on the other you have Kelce making history. How can you stop that?!
When you’re Travis Kelce and record the fewest receiving yards by any NFL player with 4+ receiving touchdowns in a game that’ll definitely get the job done.
And yes, you read that right... Kelce is the first player in NFL history with four touchdown catches of less than 10 yards in the same game. Weird, but fitting for him.
That loss would’ve made me angry too, Davante Adams.
But taking it out on a cameraman? C’mon man, now you have a misdemeanor...smh.

Is it 2010 again?! John Wall has brought back the dougie and the buckets. The universe must be healing.
He still got it too… and I’m not just talking about the dougie. He put on a show with behind the back dribbles and spin moves.
The five-time All-Star had 20 points in 20 minutes. It was good to see him cookin' out there again.
The real is back ladies and gents!

Like father, like son! Bronny James just signed an NIL deal with Nike.
The young hooper has already been rockin’ his dad’s shoes on the court so it was only right.
Throwback to when the King signed a deal with the brand a month before being drafted and dropped his first signature shoe back in ‘03.
It’s clear Nike has been a part of the James' squad for decades.
The Sierra Canyon guard can now keep that legacy going all while dripped out in Nike gear— sounds pretty nice to me!
If you're like the me and the sneakerheads on @PlaymakerKicks, you can't wait to get your eyes on that first signature shoe 👀

Is this flag football or the NFL?
Week 5 brought some of the worst roughing the passer calls EVER.
Someone get ahold of these refs because what in the world were they seeing out there?
On Sunday, a third-down roughing-the-passer call was made on Grady Jarret against Tom Brady in which Brady commented after the game, "I don't throw flags."
And if that wasn’t ridiculous enough, another flag came in the Chiefs vs Raiders game once refs called it for a sack by Chris Jones on Derek Carr, leaving players across the league wondering how they're supposed to tackle.
Be forreal refs.
The commish must've heard all the boo’s because he said the NFL will look into controversial roughing the passer penalties after the end of the season. They needa get on that ASAP.
T-minus two days until six dunkers compete for 3-time NBA Slam Dunk Champion, Nate Robinson's approval, a $5,000 check, and the Dunk Dynasty crown 👑

October baseball, amirite?
