The Kansas City Chiefs earned a big come-from-behind victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5. After finding themselves at an early 17-point deficit the team battled their way back. It wasn’t pretty at times, which made for some interesting reactions online.
Here are some of the best Twitter reactions from the Week 5 victory on Monday night:
Rashad Fenton struggles in coverage against Davante Adams
The matchup with All-Pro receiver Davante Adams was expected to be a challenge, but Chiefs fans were hoping for a better effort from cornerback Rashad Fenton. The veteran starter struggled at the start of the game, giving up a 58-yard touchdown pass to Adams on fourth-and-1. Twitter has plenty to say about Fenton’s issues early in the game.

Tough run from Jerrick McKinnon
The Chiefs’ 5-foot-9 third-down running back was bruising the defense during his long run in the second quarter. Several broken tackles and making defenders miss helped breathe new life into the Chiefs. Critics and spectators discussed the surprising moment on social media.

If you ever feel like you’re not capable I just watched 8 different guys try to tackle Jerrick McKinnon and fail. Moral of the story, you’re not capable.

Will always root for Jerrick McKinnon cause of Madden 16

Chris Jones gets hit with roughing the passer penalty
Jones was penalized again by officials, this time for roughing the passer. The play would’ve resulted in a vital takeaway for the Chiefs. Many people on Twitter had much to say about the controversial first-half call.

Might be the worst call I’ve ever seen #chiefs

why did the NFL change the definition of roughing the passer in the middle of the season? #Raiders #Chiefs

Travis Kelce scores four touchdowns
Another game, another touchdown reception for Kelce as he got the Chiefs on the board late in the second quarter. He followed that score with two more in the third quarter and a game-clincher in the fourth. Kelce has been a significant impact player for the Chiefs and his many fantasy football owners. Observers and critics chimed in on the All-Pro tight end’s latest score on Twitter Monday night.
Raiders forgot the game is 4 quarters.
