The Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders are party to one of the most intense rivalries in sports, which often leads to heated incidents between the storied franchises.
During the Chiefs’ divisional-round win against the Houston Texans on Saturday in the AFC playoffs, former Raiders head coach Jon Gruden gave fans some insight into one such incident.
In the middle of a watch party hosted by Barstool Sports, Gruden told his co-streamers a story about an infamous victory lap he took around Arrowhead Stadium with Las Vegas’ players in 2020 after the Raiders narrowly defeated Kansas City.
Take a look at what the longtime coach had to say in this video, which was posted to Twitter:

Gruden’s victory lap was not well received in Western Missouri and ultimately backfired after he lost to the Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium six weeks later.
Despite Kansas City’s longtime rivalry with the Raiders, Gruden’s infamous victory lap is mostly considered to have been harmless in hindsight, especially given the Chiefs’ dominance over Las Vegas in recent seasons.
