OAKLAND, Calif. -- Patrick Mahomes became friends with Kareem Hunt last year when they were part of the same Kansas City Chiefs draft class. They talked often about leading the Chiefs together to a run of success like the franchise has never seen.
But Mahomes voiced more clearly than any of his teammates or coach Andy Reid after their first game without Hunt the reason he needed to go.
"I saw the stuff that happened,'' Mahomes said after Sunday's 40-33 win over the Raiders. "We don't do those things.''
