After leading the Chiefs to a 15-2 record and the No. 1 seed in the AFC, Mahomes is presently enjoying a first-round bye in the playoffs after the club defeated the Raiders twice during the regular season.
Not surprisingly, the Chiefs-Raiders rivalry doesn’t seem to have damaged Mahomes and Pierce’s relationship.
Pierce revealed in the summer that the Raiders named-dropped Mahomes in an attempt to control the quarterback position from the previous season, much like the Detroit Pistons did to Michael Jordan in the 1980s.
In February of last year, Pierce declared, “We’ve got what I’m calling now, from now on as long as I’m here, the Patrick Mahomes rules.”
Jordan used to get whipped by the Pistons when he was going through a bad patch.
“Elbows, feeling him, liked taps, whenever he came to the entire hole. Mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we are in his head.
“I’m stroking you. I thus demonstrated Jordan’s a** whooping to my guys.

Mahomes responded, “It’ll get handled when it gets handled,” in response to the joke directed at him.
In the two victories over Las Vegas, Mahomes would exact his wrath on the field by tossing three touchdowns, 570 passing yards, and an interception.
In his interim role with the Raiders in 2023, Pierce finished 5-4 after Josh McDaniels was sacked as coach.
On Christmas Day, he even guided the team to victory over the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
