INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce defended his decision Sunday to punt on fourth-and-1 late in his team's 22-10 season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium.
With the Raiders facing what Pierce called "a long 1" yard to convert from the Chargers' 43-yard line and Las Vegas trailing 16-10 with 7:15 to play, Pierce opted not to go for it. The Raiders became the first team since 2016 to punt on fourth-and-1 when in opposing territory and trailing by one score in the fourth quarter.
