Upsets are inevitable in sports. Sometimes, the better team has an off day and loses to an inferior opponent. Players often come away from games thinking that the better team lost. It happens.
But Amik Robertson may be one of the only people out there who would say that about the Raiders-Chiefs rivalry.
The Chiefs cruised past the Raiders on Sunday in a game that saw Kansas City trailing 14-0 before outscoring Las Vegas 31-3. It wasn’t close, and the Chiefs have won 15 of their past 17 matchups with the Raiders.
That all made Robertson’s postgame remarks so perplexing. He told reporters that the Raiders were the better team.
“I know we’re better than that team.. we got more dogs.”

He said:
“This one just hurts because I know we’re better than that team. I know we got more dogs. I know we’re better than that team.”
Obviously, no player is going to say that a rival is better. But Robertson made that remark about the Chiefs on his own after a game that wasn’t close.
No wonder fans had jokes about those comments.
This was how Twitter reacted
Imagine losing by 14 after being spotted 14 points to start the game and coming out postgame with this level of delusion. https://t.co/QfB87ZzmDS

Saying you know your sub .500 team is better than the 1 seed in your conference after they just whipped you by two TD’s at home is such raider energy https://t.co/zZpGLCWvx9
