Where did interim coach Antonio Pierce go?
Full-time head coach Antonio Pierce doesn’t resemble that guy at all.
The look on Pierce’s face at the end of this game was one of shellshock and bewliderment.
Pierce won the full-tie gig based on the way he led the Raiders to a Christmas Day win at Arrowhead Stadium in 2023.
An otherwise miserable 2024 season could have had a nice highlight win with a second straight win over the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead, but horrible late decisions by Pierce, who is 7-14 as the Raiders’ head coach, set up a miscommunication between rookie center Jackson Powers-Johnson and quarterback Aidan O’Connell that resulted in a stunning game-ending lost fumble just as Las Vegas was readying for a makeable game winning field goal that ended up being a bitter 19-17 loss for the Raiders, who fell to 2-10 and who have lost eight straight games.
