Raiders run 'James Harden' audible vs. Chiefs, and Twitter has jokes

Kind of.

The Houston Rockets star’s name made an appearance in the form of an audible during Sunday night’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders. With the game tied at 14-14 in the second quarter, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr audibled out of a first-down play near midfield, clearly calling the name of the 2018 NBA MVP for NBC cameras and microphones to document.

He then handed the ball off to running back Devontae Booker, who ran up the middle for 6 yards.

So, why James Harden?
