While the Week 18 matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos meant little to nothing in the big picture for the NFL, don’t tell that the Raiders.
Las Vegas came out with purpose on Sunday, wanting to finish the season strong and help improve interim head coach Antonio Pierce’s résumé when it comes to keeping the full-time job this offseason. The result was a convincing 27-14 victory and support for Pierce has never been louder, both literally and figuratively, as the team completed the season sweep against the Broncos for the fourth year in a row.
