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.
Chiefs eye another victory in a strong season
The Chiefs entered the game with an impressive 10-1 record, bouncing back from their lone defeat against the Buffalo Bills. With back-to-back Super Bowl victories under their belt, Kansas City was determined to maintain their dominance in the league.
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.

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
