The Kansas City Chiefs have more than just bounced back from their rough 0-2 start, they look like the Chiefs the rest of the league has feared for nearly a decade.

The Chiefs shut out the Las Vegas Raiders 31-0 in Arrowhead to take their record up to 4-3. Patrick Mahomes connected with the returning Rashee Rice for two of his three touchdown passes, and had a play go viral in the process of the afternoon.

The Chiefs lined up for a fourth-down attempt, but tried several hard counts to try and draw the Raiders offside. Mahomes then shouted to the sideline that the hard count never works, doing his best to make it appear the Chiefs wouldn't snap the ball. After his loud complaint, the Chiefs immediately put the ball in play and picked up the first down. Mahomes was asked about his selling of the play after the game, and gave a rather humorous answer.

"It comes from all of my State Farm acting," Mahomes said.

Everyone was able to get a good laugh, it seems, but every opponent on the Chiefs' schedule won't be smiling now that Kansas City is back at full strength and clicking on all cylinders.
