Patrick Mahomes two more times

During his three-year NFL career, the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders have faced Patrick Mahomes four times, and in all four games, they have come away with the loss. To say Mahomes has dominated the team would be an understatement, and while he does dominate the rest of the NFL too, he saves some of his special sauce for the Silver and Black.

Over the four games against the franchise, Mahomes has completed over 60 percent of his passes, connecting on 11 touchdowns against only one interception. Outside of his personal numbers, the Chiefs have outscored the Raiders by a score of 143-55, and if you take out the 40-33 win against the Raiders the first time he played them, it is more like 103-22 over the last three contests.

You have to look back no further than last season, when he tossed four touchdowns in one quarter against a Raiders secondary that looked absolutely lost. The only good thing about the 2020 season in terms of the Mahomes is that the Raiders do not have to go into Kansas City in December, where they have been blasted off the field.
