There likely won’t be any cigar smoking in the locker room following Sunday’s Chiefs-Raiders game.

That’d be a change from the last time the Chiefs played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Following the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII win, KC players lit up celebratory cigars in the Raiders’ locker room.

Not so coincidentally, the Raiders smoked cigars in Arrowhead’s visiting locker room following their regular-season win over the Chiefs last year. It’s possible that fact could be mentioned during Sunday’s telecast.

CBS Sports’ broadcast team of Kevin Harlan, Trent Green and Melanie Collins will be at Allegiant Stadium for the Chiefs’ game against the Raiders. While much of the country will see the game, it’ll be the smallest television audience for a Chiefs contest this season.
