After their shutout defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7, the Las Vegas Raiders got to rest a bit as their bye week came in Week 8. The performance against the Chiefs of Patrick Mahomes was nothing short of a disappointment. They lost 31-0 in an embarrassing game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
Quarterback Geno Smith only threw 67 yards, with a completion percentage of 62.5%. Running back Ashton Jeanty only ran for 21 yards. Tre Tucker recorded 33 receiving yards, and Jack Bech barely 13.

Yet it seems someone in the Raiders bleachers did seem to enjoy the game. Jack Bech’s girlfriend, Kylie Young, who posted a series of pictures of Week 7’s encounter on her Instagram account, alongside her boyfriend and some of her friends, all wearing Raiders apparel. In the caption, she gleefully wrote:
“Football and best friends, can’t beat it!”
It’s unknown exactly when the couple started seeing each other, but it’s estimated it was between late 2024 and early 2025. Their relationship was made official in early February of this year.
Bech’s season, like his team’s, has been disappointing so far. He has only logged seven receptions, for a total of 73 yards with no touchdowns so far. In three out of seven games, he has failed to record even one single catch. The rookie cannot be blamed, as he was introduced into one of the worst offensive units in the NFL (third worst in fact).
Pete Carroll On What The Defeat Means For The Las Vegas Raiders
Speaking after the game in Week 7, Raiders coach Pete Carroll admitted that the magnitude of the defeat was way beyond anything he expected in the lead-up to it:
“This was a game I didn’t see coming,” Raiders coach Pete Carroll said. “We prepared really well. We were tuned in. I couldn’t imagine the guys that weren’t able to play in this game would have been that much of a factor.”
Carroll came out of retirement in 2025, returning to coaching after a two-year hiatus following his stint at the Seattle Seahawks. It’s safe to say, the return hasn’t been what he, or anyone, envisioned.
