The Las Vegas Raiders lost another tough game, but the biggest enemy of that game turned out to be head coach Antonio Pierce and his actions late in the game.
A highly controversial, if not cowardly, decision by Raiders coach Antonio Pierce led to his team’s Week 7 loss at SoFi Stadium.
The Raiders fell to the Rams 20-15 Sunday after Pierce settled for a field goal on fourth-and-goal from the 9-yard line with 2:50 remaining.
That field goal did not help the team, but it did help cover the spread.
Fans, more notably, bettors, couldn’t believe that Antonio Pierce pulled this move.

It was a bad decision by Pierce, but the Las Vegas Raiders did end up getting the ball back, but weren’t in a position to succeed at their own 11-yard line with 1:37 to play.
Quarterback Gardner Minshew threw two incompletions and then his third interception of the day that sealed the victory for the Rams.
A more strategic, sound decision from Pierce would have been to go for the touchdown and two-point conversion to tie the game.

The Las Vegas Raiders are a completely lost franchise right now, and that was never more evident than during the Week 7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
With Las Vegas down 20-12 and at the Rams‘ nine-yard line with less than three minutes to go, Antonio Pierce decided to kick a field goal instead of trying to go for it.
Fans now want him gone:
