Raiders Running Back Josh Jacobs: 'I Hate the Chiefs'

If you're a part of Raider Nation, you're likely rooting against the Kansas City Chiefs in this Sunday's Super Bowl.

That surely is the case for Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs, who said he will be supporting the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

"I told everybody, they asked me yesterday who I was rooting for; I'm like, 'Obviously the Eagles,'" Jacobs said at Pro Bowl weekend, per Austin Boyd of Heavy.com. "I mean, they've got some guys whot I came into school with and I have seen grown and develop. And, man, and I hate the Chiefs."

The Raiders and Chiefs have one of the NFL's biggest and longest-standing rivalries, dating to 1960 and the founding of the American Football League.

While Kansas City swept the season series against Las Vegas this last season, Jacobs proved to be a problem for the AFC champions in Week 5.

The league's rushing title holder ran for 154 yards and a touchdown in the first meeting between the rivals on Oct. 10. He also added 39 receiving yards.

Kansas City barely came away with that victory on their home turf, edging the Silver and Black, 30-29.
