Raiders: Josh McDaniels has a different view on debatable moment vs. Chiefs

There was a rather, I wouldn't say controversial, but debatable, thing that happened between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs. Some fans hate what happened, and some are in the middle ground.
If you still don't know what I'm talking about, it's the trick play the Chiefs ran against the Raiders.
“So we call it snow globe,” Patrick Mahomes said in his ESPN post-game interview.
If you were watching the game, you were probably as confused as everyone else was. The Chiefs are driving the ball down the field, and when they get in the red zone, you just randomly see their huddle start spinning in circles.
Then, you see Mahomes in as the running back in the far back field with McKinnon in as the quarterback and Travis Kelce in as running back next to him. It was something that was by far the oddest play you will ever see, and it worked, but there was a holding penalty.
A lot of Raiders fans didn’t like that, at all. They think it was disrespectful. And, I guess it could be looked at that way, but head coach Josh McDaniels doesn't think so at all.
"No, I did not at all," McDaniels said post-game.
My take is, if you don't want to be disrespected by it, don't let that team go up 31-13 on you, and don't let them score on the play, penalty or not.
The Chiefs are notorious for doing crazy trick plays, they have since Mahomes has been quarterback. They do it to every team, so don't think there is a personal vendetta against the Raiders, because there is. They are rivals, you know.
