The Las Vegas Raiders entered Sunday's action against the Kansas City Chiefs as underdogs at Arrowhead Stadium. Las Vegas left Kansas City with a 40-32 upset win over the Chiefs, and the Raiders couldn't help but roast their doubters.

Every NFL expert shown in a tweet from the Raiders picked the Chiefs to win Sunday's Week 5 matchup, and they just had to make sure everyone knew how unbelievably wrong those experts were.

Derek Carr's outstanding performance was arguably his best of the season. The 29-year-old completed 22-of-31 passes for 347 yards and three touchdowns against one interception.

Rookie wide receiver Henry Ruggs also put on a show, reeling in two receptions on three targets for 118 yards and one touchdown. Running back Josh Jacobs added 23 carries for 77 yards and two touchdowns.

With Sunday's win over Kansas City, the Raiders improved to 3-2 heading into Week 6 against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
