The player will step onto the pitch against the Las Vegas Raiders within two days. Before the game, the Raiders star cornerback made a bold claim and increased the temperature of the match. In a recent interview, the Raiders number 18 Jack Jones said, “Stop the magician, and the act is over”.

The player also said they need to think about City Chiefs as they only worry about the number 15. Jones said, “We’re not worried about them. It’s Patrick Mahomes we’ve got to stop. You stop the magician, then the act is over”. This quote from Jones made fans and experts feel he does not even care about Travis Kelce, who is a star performer in the league and for the team. He only thinks stopping Mahomes means pocketing the match.
The last time Raiders faced the Chiefs they lost the game with 14 points difference on their home ground. In that match, Mahomes destroyed them, but this time, they had some secret plan to stop the quarterback, and his stats were outstanding in that game.
