The Kansas City Chiefs became the first team in the NFL to clinch a playoff berth after defeating the Las Vegas Raiders 19-17 on Black Friday.
However, a controversial penalty at the end of the game left a bad taste in the mouths of Raiders fans, who won’t be keen to congratulate the Chiefs on their impressive accomplishment.
Friday’s AFC West matchup was decided by an illegal shift penalty against the Raiders that occurred just before Las Vegas got a chance to kick a game-winning field goal in the final seconds of the fourth quarter.
After what was arguably one of Kansas City’s worst performances this season, Raiders fans were less than pleased that Las Vegas had bungled its comeback attempt. The Raiders faithful were so incensed about the loss that they got the term ‘Worst 11-1’ to trend on Twitter.
Take a look at the play that caused the online uproar:

Top reactions:
So the refs blow the play dead but then the Kansas City Chiefs get the option to decline the penalty and accept the outcome of BLOWN DEAD PLAY? I knew once the refs were huddling up it was over. Worst 11-1 team in history and it’s not close pic.twitter.com/hsuB1AvLE4

Not only are the Chiefs the worst 11-1 i have ever seen in my entire life watching football….the refs have single handedly given them multiple wins. It continues to happen right in front of everyone and nothing is ever done about it.
