Chiefs Owner’s Wife Tavia Hunt Drops A Bomb On Instagram & Doesn’t Hold Back
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Tavia Hunt shared an Instagram story after the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Las Vegas Raiders 30-27 on Sunday, coming out firing.
Tavia, the wife of team owner Clark Hunt, watched them improve to 4-0 at Allegiant Stadium in a primetime Sunday afternoon clash. Both of the sides entered the game undefeated at 3-0; the Chiefs left with their record still unblemished.
Hunt’s story zeroed in on one play, showing Chiefs lineman Chris Jones getting grabbed. Pro Football Network says a flag would have meant a safety.
She layered her own text over the video.
“So sick of the past narrative that the Chiefs get all the calls. Stats don’t lie and neither does film — so I’m leaving this here,” she wrote.
Hunt Points To Film To Counter Favoritism Claims About Kansas City
This is not her first post on the topic. Hunt wrote, “it’s not ‘black magic’ or referee favoritism (look at the stats on this)” before Super Bowl LIX, according to Fox News. She credited hard work, belief and purpose for the team’s success.
The talk has followed Kansas City into this season. Fans questioned an uncalled Kelce hold on Patrick Mahomes’ opening-drive touchdown against Denver in September.
Analyst Nick Wright has offered a different explanation. He attributes the narrative to ordinary human error by officials, magnified on primetime broadcasts. He does not describe a league-wide conspiracy.
Walker Powers Chiefs Past Vegas Despite A Halftime Deficit
The game itself stayed close. Kansas City trailed 13-10 at halftime before Kenneth Walker III blew things open with 177 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
Kansas City also scored through the air. Mahomes found Tyquan Thornton for two touchdowns. Thornton was unfortunate to suffer a gruesome injury on his biggest play.
Ian Thomas added a 27-yard touchdown catch, the longest reception of his career.
Walker’s biggest run came on a 77-yard carry. Raiders cornerback Taron Johnson chased him down at the eight-yard line after Walker reached 21.21 mph.
Flags also came into play for the Chiefs. An illegal formation penalty on Kansas City wiped out a Matt Gay field goal attempt and left the Raiders facing fourth-and-2, Raiders.com reports. Las Vegas failed to convert that play. A late illegal shift penalty on the Raiders also hurt their final drive.
Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins threw 365 yards and two touchdowns. A late interception to Xavier Nwankpa ended his hopes of a comeback.
Raiders coach Klint Kubiak had told a broadcaster at halftime that his team would win. Brittany Mahomes later mocked Kubiak’s halftime prediction on Instagram with a laughing emoji.
