Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes set the tone for the team’s Black Friday matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders with an inspiring pre-game speech that left no room for complacency. Standing outside the locker room at Arrowhead Stadium, Mahomes delivered a rallying cry to his teammates, urging them to dominate every play.
“Energy all day, energy all day,” Mahomes declared. “How great do you want to be on every single snap? I need it. Let’s go out there and dominate.” His passionate words were met with enthusiasm from Travis Kelce and the rest of the squad, who looked to continue their winning momentum after a tough loss earlier in the season.

Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce, meanwhile, took a different approach in his pre-game remarks, labeling his team “the worst in football” as they prepared to face the league’s top contender. Despite the stark contrast in records, the matchup carried significant stakes for both teams.
