It hasn’t been the best season for the Las Vegas Raiders, and their latest loss, this time to the Pittsburgh Steelers, has left head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/antonio-pierce">Antonio Pierce</a> frustrated in the regular season in the NFL.



With a 2-4 record following Week 6 in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, the Raiders must find a way to reverse their bad streak, starting with their next game against the Rams. Pierce didn’t hold back in addressing his team, issuing a strong wake-up call to his players.



After the loss, Pierce expressed his frustration to the Las Vegas Journal about the team’s current form: “We don’t respect the ball enough, so we don’t even deserve a chance to put ourselves in a position to win. Our record is what it shows, we’re 2-4. It’s not good enough.”



Pierce has a lot to work on, as he reflects on the team’s recent performances, with key players like Ameer Abdullah and Gardner Minshew II struggling to find their best form.

<h2>Pierce takes accountability</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Raiders</a>‘ head coach was also self-critical, acknowledging his own responsibility for the team’s poor results in recent weeks. Pierce recognized the significant point differential in their last two losses, with each defeat coming by more than 20 points.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-raiders-hc-antonio-pierce-takes-more-distance-from-davante-adams-future"></div>


“We’re not coaching well enough, we’re not playing well enough, and we’re not detailing well enough,” Pierce said. His message raised concerns among fans, who will be watching closely as the team looks to bounce back in their next game.



<h2>What’s next for Pierce and the Raiders?</h2>



As the NFL season approaches its midpoint, the Raiders need to regroup if they hope to make a push for the playoffs. The upcoming games will be critical in determining whether Pierce can shift the team’s mentality and turn their season around.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Las Vegas Raiders</a> have had a tough start to the NFL season, and head coach Antonio Pierce is searching for solutions to the team’s ongoing issues after star wide receiver Davante Adams decided to leave the team.



With a 2-3 record, Pierce is focusing on Week 6 as a turning point to rebuild the Raiders’ path toward the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> postseason. Addressing key mistakes that have cost the team in previous games is now his top priority.



Pierce distanced himself from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/davante-adams">Adams</a>’ departure when asked about the situation by journalist Ari Meirov. “I don’t know. You’d have to ask Davante,” Pierce responded, signaling a strained relationship between the two, which may have contributed to Adams’ decision to leave. Pierce added, “It’s status quo.”



<h2>Antonio Pierce’s journey with the Raiders</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/antonio-pierce">Pierce</a> joined the Raiders as a linebacker coach in 2022 before stepping into the head coaching role. His coaching career began at Long Beach Poly High School, where he served from 2014 to 2017.

So far this season, the Raiders have scored 96 points in five games, totaled 1,485 yards, and executed 298 offensive plays. To turn things around, Pierce will need to focus on tightening the team’s performance and minimizing errors.

<h2>Davante Adams’ impact on the Raiders</h2>



Though Adams’ tenure with the Raiders was brief, he was a key contributor. Despite missing 2 of 5 games due to injury, Adams offered a spark of hope for the team and fans alike.



In his two starts, Adams recorded 27 targets, 18 receptions, 209 receiving yards, 10 first-down catches, and 1 touchdown. His absence leaves a void in the Raiders’ offense as they look to regroup.

The Las Vegas Raiders suffered their third loss in the 2024 NFL season when they played the Denver Broncos in Week 5 on Sunday. Unhappy with Gardner Minshew‘s performance in the Mile High City, head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/antonio-pierce">Antonio Pierce</a> decided to bench the quarterback late in the third quarter.



The 28-year-old was having a rough day in Denver, with the Raiders trailing 20-10 at that point after going scoreless in the second and third quarter. Before leaving the field, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gardner-minshew">Minshew</a> completed 12 of 17 passes for 137 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, including a 100-yard pick six by Pat Surtain.



This underwhelming outing seems to put Minshew’s job at risk, but the Mississippi native made it clear to Pierce he’ll accept whatever the coach deems best for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Raiders</a>. 



“It is what it is. Try to help the team, whatever I can. Try to still be an Aidan’s ear, tell him things I’ve been seeing and keep providing a positive presence on the sideline,” Minshew said of Aidan O’Connell, who replaced him in Denver. “At the end of the day, no matter what my role [is] on the team, I’m going to try and help the team any way I can. That starts getting back in the building tomorrow and getting back to work.”

O’Connell, who finished the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season as the Raiders’ starting quarterback in his rookie year, completed 10 of 20 passes for 94 yards and an interception on Sunday’s 18-34 loss against the Broncos.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-davante-adams-has-chosen-his-next-team-after-requesting-blockbuster-trade-from-raiders"></div>


<h2>Pierce uncertain on whether Minshew or O’Connell will be Raiders’ QB1</h2>



While Minshew getting benched last time out makes many wonder whether the Raiders will make a change at quarterback, Pierce has yet to decide who will be under center in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.



“Yeah, just keep evaluating the film, evaluating everything from scheme, players — everything,” Pierce told reporters on Monday, via Pro Football Talk. “So, we’re still doing that upstairs, currently.”



In four weeks at the helm of the Raiders’ offense in 2024, Minshew has thrown for 1,014 yards with four touchdowns and five interceptions, recording a 70.7 completion percentage. O’Connell, on the other hand, has a 59.4 completion percentage after throwing for 176 yards with a touchdown and an interception in two appearances in 2024.



Pierce, however, made sure to show some praise for O’Connell, who put up 2,218 passing yards, 12 passing touchdowns and 7 interceptions in 10 games as a starter in 2023: “Aiden understands, is a cerebral player, knows where the ball needs to go. So, I’ve seen enough of Aiden and a lot this year — I know what to expect when Aiden gets in the game.”

It hasn’t been an easy week for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/antonio-pierce">Antonio Pierce</a> as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders ahead of Sunday’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> divisional clash with the Denver Broncos. On Tuesday, Davante Adams‘ trade request was confirmed, sparking a flurry of rumors. However, on Friday, just hours before another game, the coach was able to reclaim a key player for his team.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/davante-adams">Adams</a> is ruled out of the game against the Broncos. The injury report states that the wide receiver has a hamstring strain, but the fact is that the trade request and his possible landing with the New York Jets is reason enough to keep him out of the action.



The key player Pierce could get back for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Raiders</a>‘ game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday is none other than defensive end Maxx Crosby, who is listed as questionable. The 27-year-old sat out last weekend’s game with an ankle injury and missed two days of practice last week, but returned to the field on Friday.



Crosby has been a key weapon on the field for the Raiders, who sit fourth in the AFC West with a 2-2 record and are coming off a narrow 20-16 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 4.

<h2>Maxx Crosby stats in the 2024 NFL season</h2>



Crosby played in three of the Raiders’ four games this season, recording eight tackles and six assisted tackles (14 total). His best performance came in the Week 2 win over the Baltimore Ravens when he had six combined tackles.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-davante-adams-posts-intriguing-message-on-instagram-about-possible-next-team-for-blockbuster-trade"></div>


<h2>Las Vegas Raiders injury report</h2>



Crosby’s return could be big news for Antonio Pierce’s Las Vegas Raiders, who have a long list of injured players, including Davante Adams. Tackle Thayer Munford (knee), cornerback Decamerion Richardson (hamstring), tight end Michael Mayer (personal dislocation), safety Trey Taylor (knee), running back Zamir White (groin) and linebacker Luke Masterson (knee) are also out against the Broncos.

The news of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/davante-adams">Davante Adams</a>‘ request to leave the Las Vegas Raiders shook the NFL world this week. One of the key figures regarding the situation on the field is clearly head coach Antonio Pierce, who made his stance clear during his traditional press conference.



During the Raiders’ traditional Wednesday press conference, the coach was asked if Adams’ situation could become a distraction for his team’s present. The head coach responded firmly, ‘No.’



According to The Athletic’s journalist Vic Tafur on his X account (formerly Twitter), <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/antonio-pierce">Pierce</a> was clear about the situation: “Antonio Pierce not addressing the Davante Adams situation, said he is rehabbing his hamstring injury.” 



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Raiders</a> are one of many teams with a balanced record of two wins and two losses. The departure of Adams represents a significant loss for Pierce’s squad, which is slowly coming to terms with the fact that they won’t have a key player moving forward.

While there are still no certainties about the wide receiver’s final destination, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-davante-adams-sends-clear-message-to-las-vegas-raiders-about-his-favorite-team-for-big-trade">Davante Adams sent a clear message to the Raiders about which team he would ideally like to join</a>.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-tells-revealing-details-about-his-relationship-with-hc-robert-saleh"></div>


Journalist Adam Schefter reported on two potential destinations for Adams: “Two teams high on Davante Adams’ wishlist of places to land, if not at the very top, are the Jets and Saints, per league sources. Adams ideally would like to play with a QB he knows. The Jets have former teammate Aaron Rodgers, and the Saints have former teammate Derek Carr.”

NFL News: Raiders HC Antonio Pierce makes something clear about Davante Adams trade - Bolavip US

The first few weeks of the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season have seen a potentially contentious situation arise between Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce and one of his players, wide receiver <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/davante-adams">Davante Adams</a>. Rumors of a possible trade for the former Green Bay Packers star have been swirling.



One went viral on social media, showing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/antonio-pierce">Pierce</a> ‘liking’ an Instagram post that suggested Adams could be traded. “Don’t be surprised if Davante Adams has already played his last snap with the Raiders,” the post read, citing a report from insider Michael Fabiano. The 31-year-old wide receiver didn’t stay quiet and responded to the controversial situation.



“I haven’t heard from [Antonio Pierce]. I haven’t spoken to him. Social media is a beast, so there’s a lot of people that saw it and wondered what’s going on, and people got in touch,” Adams broke the silence on the Up and Adams Show podcast, where he discussed his coach’s controversial like.

“Honestly, it’s hard to comment on that.

There’s always some kind of drama. I look forward to hearing from my trainer,” the wide receiver completed.



<h2>Davante Adams trading rumors</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Las Vegas Raiders</a>‘ 2-2 start has sparked rumors of a possible trade for star wide receiver Davante Adams, who has confessed on more than one occasion that he is very comfortable playing alongside Aaron Rodgers, his former Green Bay Packers teammate.

In recent hours, journalist Vincent Bonsignore has confirmed that certain information is still pending, but that a league source has confirmed that the Raiders have begun communicating with the rest of the franchises to gauge interest in the veteran wide receiver. Head coach Antonio Pierce’s preference fuels speculation about the Las Vegas star, who currently has an uncertain future.



<h2>Las Vegas Raiders upcoming games</h2>



The Vegas Raiders are in fourth place in the AFC West with a 2-2 record, and in Week 4 they scored a narrow win over the Cleveland Browns to bounce back from a loss the week before. These are their next three games.

The Las Vegas Raiders‘ performance in the NFL remains inconsistent with a 2-2 record after Week 4. However, this could change dramatically if the rumors about star WR <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/davante-adams">Davante Adams</a>‘ departure are confirmed. 



According to journalist Vincent Bonsignore, via his X account @VinnyBonsignore, the Raiders are considering to trade Adams: “More on this to come: A league source with knowledge of the situation confirmed that the @Raiders are growing open to the idea of trading Davante Adams. The source said the club has begun reaching out to teams to gauge interest in the veteran wide receiver.“



Months ago, Davante Adams expressed multiple times his comfort in playing alongside Aaron Rodgers, which could potentially link him to the New York Jets, where Rodgers is currently the starting quarterback.



While there is no confirmed resolution regarding his future with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Raiders</a>, it is clear that management in Las Vegas is seriously considering the possibility of trading the star WR and is exploring potential scenarios in the near future.

However, despite the impressive play they showcased at times, they also made costly mistakes that led to two tough losses, such as in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers.



Week 5 features a closely contested matchup against the Denver Broncos, which will ultimately determine what Gardner Minshew and company are capable of this season.

The Las Vegas Raiders prepare to take on the Cleveland Browns in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> Week 4, with head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/antonio-pierce">Antonio Pierce</a> facing the challenge of fielding a team without two key players who will miss the game through injuries.



Pierce’s injured Raiders against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Browns</a> are none other than defensive end Maxx Crosby and wide receiver <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/davante-adams">Davante Adams</a>. Both players have been instrumental for the Las Vegas team this season, which lost to the Carolina Panthers last game.



Adams leads the team with 18 receptions and has been sidelined with a hamstring injury. Crosby, on the other hand, is still dealing with left ankle discomfort from the Week 2 win over the Ravens and is listed as questionable.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Raiders</a> have lost two of their three 2024 NFL appearances. After defeating Baltimore, the Las Vegas franchise suffered a surprise loss in its first home game to the Carolina Panthers, who had outstanding quarterback Andy Dalton replace the questionable Bryce Young. Next Sunday’s game is important to avoid a 1-3 record to start the current campaign.

Both players are dominant on the field and will be difficult for Coach Pierce to replace. Adams has started the first three games and has 18 receptions for 209 yards and a touchdown. Crosby, meanwhile, is one of quarterback Gardner Minshew’s main playmakers, with eight tackles on the season.

<h2>Cleveland Browns also have major injuries</h2>



Cleveland Browns will visit Allegiant Stadium to face the Las Vegas Raiders without right guard Wyatt Teller, starting left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. and right tackle Jack Conklin. All three names mean big losses for head coach Kevin Stefanski, who confirmed Deshaun Watson as the starting quarterback for Sunday’s game.

NFL News: Las Vegas Raiders HC Antonio Pierce loses two key players for home game vs Browns - Bolavip US

The season for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Las Vegas Raiders</a> in the NFL began at a solid competitive level. Despite holding an even record of 1-1, Antonio Pierce‘s squad showed they have enough weapons to be a tough challenge this season. However, recent news regarding the injury of a key player has altered the coach’s plans moving forward.



The news was confirmed by NFL insider Jordan Schultz, who via his X account (@schultz_report), announced the injury of none other than DE Malcolm Koonce, who will miss the rest of the season.



The renowned journalist posted the following: “BREAKING: #Raiders pass rusher Malcolm Koonce suffered a serious knee injury during a recent practice and will miss the entire season, per multiple sources.”



While the specific injury that will sideline Koonce for the rest of the season hasn’t been confirmed, it’s undoubtedly a significant loss for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/antonio-pierce">Pierce</a> and company. The DE was coming off a career-best season with 8 sacks and 3 forced fumbles, and was entering the final year of his contract.

<h2>Gardner Minshew, the unexpected leader of the Raiders</h2>



The Las Vegas Raiders have slowly become a team that, with humility and without much flash, has proven to be a tough opponent for any rival looking to face them over the past two weeks.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-andy-reid-and-chiefs-prepare-blockbuster-trade-for-star-wide-receiver-to-help-patrick-mahomes"></div>


The recent victory against the Baltimore Ravens highlighted the excellent relationship between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gardner-minshew">Gardner Minshew</a> and Maxx Crosby, to the point where the QB <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-raiders-qb-gardner-minshew-makes-confession-about-maxx-crosby-after-win-over-lamar-jacksons-ravens">made a bold confession about his teammate after defeating Lamar Jackson’s squad</a>.



“He’s a great leader. He does things the right way and I couldn’t be more grateful to have him on our team,” Minshew said of Crosby.

NFL News: Las Vegas Raiders HC Antonio Pierce loses key player for the rest of the season

NFL News: Las Vegas Raiders HC Antonio Pierce loses key player for the rest of the season - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">National Football League</a> released the sanctions it imposed on Antonio Pierce’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Las Vegas Raiders</a> after some unsportsmanlike conducts in the 22-10 defeat over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1. The biggest fine was for an action by a teammates of star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/davante-adams">Davante Adams</a>.



Fines were levied on four Raiders players who were involved in fights against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers">Chargers</a>. They include Marcus Epps ($11,817), Maxx Crosby ($11,255), Christian Wilkins ($11,255) and Jack Jones ($5,472). The curious thing is that Jones was sent off, but apparently it wasn’t enough to increase his fine.



Head coach Pierce will have to polish the attitude of his players in the regular season, as several of them were involved in misconduct and if that behavior continues, the fines will not be long in coming for the teammates of Davante Adams’ star.



Chargers wide receiver Josh Palmer also received an $11,255 fine for being involved in the big fourth-quarter brawl after which he was ejected. As is customary, the NFL does not usually explain the allocation of the lifting number of the fines, but some players may appeal them.

Apparently it was a first week of the 2024 NFL with intensity. It’s somewhat imaginable considering it’s the resumption of the regular season after a long hiatus, but in the case of the Raiders and Chargers the level of focus on the game was diverted to generate a brawl.

NFL imposes severe fines on Antonio Pierce's Las Vegas Raiders for controversial actions

By leading the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> to a memorable third <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> victory in five years, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> has proven he’s part of a special group of athletes. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan">Michael Jordan</a> is widely regarded as the greatest of all time, but the Texas Tech product is starting to join the conversation too.



In fact, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Las Vegas Raiders</a> are already treating Mahomes the way NBA teams treated Jordan back in the day. In an appearance on Maxx Crosby’s podcast ‘The Rush,’ <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/antonio-pierce">Antonio Pierce</a> revealed his team will play against the Chiefs No. 15 the same way the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-pistons">Detroit Pistons</a> did against Jordan in the late 80s and early 90s.



“We’ve got the Jordan rules and we’ve got what I’m calling now, from now on as long as I’m here, the Patrick Mahomes rules,” the Raiders head coach said, as quoted by Pro Football Talk. “You remember when Jordan was going through it with the Pistons, all those guys in the ’80s before he became Michael Jordan, Air Jordan, the Pistons used to whip his a–. Any time he came to the hole, elbows, feeling him, love taps. We’re in his head, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, I’m touching you. So I showed my guys Jordan getting his a– whooped.”



The Pistons’ “Bad Boys” were known for their aggressive style, which is why the ‘Jordan rules’ were just fitting for them. This game plan also let them get the upper hand on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bulls">Chicago Bulls</a> in three straight playoffs before MJ and company got over the hump to eventually build a dynasty.

The Raiders cannot erase what Kansas City has already achieved, but they can try and stop the Chiefs from extending their dominance even more. And to do that, Pierce wants his players to do whatever it takes when they face Mahomes. “We’ve got to knock off the head of the snake. Fifteen. Hate the color red,” Pierce said. “There’s a hatred for the Chiefs.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240216#BUS#105441"></div>


<h2>Raiders aim to end the Chiefs’ reign in the AFC West</h2>



Pierce has a job to do in Las Vegas, which is to put the pieces together and make the Raiders contenders after years of wait. He did an interesting job as an interim head coach in 2023, winning the opportunity to be fully in charge in 2024. But with the Chiefs in the same division, he understands the need to stop Mahomes at all costs.



We’re talking about a franchise that has dominated the AFC West for almost a decade now, with Kansas City clinching the division title in the last eight seasons. That span also includes six straight AFC Championship appearances as well as four Super Bowl trips, with three rings.



The Raiders will get the chance to play the Chiefs at least twice in 2024, and while they know what a challenging fixture this is, Pierce and company also know what is like to beat Mahomes’ team.



Last time they meet, Las Vegas upset Kansas City with a 20-14 win on Christmas Day. Andy Reid said it was <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/andy-reid-reveals-which-loss-helped-the-chiefs-wake-up-make-the-super-bowl-20240130-BUS-100995.html">the wake-up call his team needed</a> to win the championship, but for Pierce, it may be proof that stopping Mahomes is possible.

Shortly after winning his third <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> in five years with the Kansas City Chiefs, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> took a moment to write to another <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> head coach. The 65-year-old wanted to thank Antonio Pierce for handing the Chiefs a necessary wake-up call with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Las Vegas Raiders</a> shortly before the playoffs.



“I texted him,” Reid said, via Peter King of NBC Sports. “I just said, Hey, beautiful facility, first of all. And I appreciate you kicking our tail because you taught us a lesson. You get complacent in this business, the margin between winning and losing is tiny.”



On Christmas Day, the Raiders pulled off a shock by beating the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> 20-14 thanks to two defensive touchdowns. While that result seemed to rule out Kansas City as a contender for the public opinion, Reid believes it was exactly what his players needed to turn up their game. And the results prove him right. 



<h2>Christmas Day loss transformed the Chiefs</h2>



If anything their loss to the Raiders on December 25 appeared to bury the Chiefs’ contender status. But far from that, it made Kansas City rediscover its best version to prove why it was ready to defend its crown.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240216_BUS_105441_Patrick-Mahomes-5-1024x576_1255682c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs runs with the ball during the fourth quarter of the game against the Las Vegas Raiders." class="wp-image-88288" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Patrick-Mahomes-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Patrick-Mahomes-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Patrick-Mahomes-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Patrick-Mahomes-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/Patrick-Mahomes-5.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs runs with the ball during the fourth quarter of the game against the Las Vegas Raiders.</figcaption></figure>



Not only did it bounce back with a win over the Bengals, but it also beat the Chargers with an alternative team in the regular season finale. Once again, the Chiefs retained the AFC West title to head into the playoffs in high spirits.






<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240130#BUS#100995"></div>


Come postseason time, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> did his thing and proved why he should never be written off. The Chiefs took down the Miami Dolphins’ offense in the Wild Card before proving they could also win outside Arrowhead. 



In Mahomes’ first road playoff game, Kansas City once again got the upper hand over the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Buffalo Bills</a>. The following weekend, Reid’s men upset the No. 1 seed Ravens in Baltimore to make the Super Bowl. And on the big game, Mahomes stepped up when it mattered the most to seal the deal.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240214#BUS#104922"></div>


While that dramatic win over the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> is what remains in most people’s memory, Reid doesn’t forget about the game that proved to be a turning point to their season. Which is why he had to thank Pierce.



“You better step up,” Reid said. “There’s a time and a place for these players that have been here before. You know what it takes. If you’re the veteran that’s dropping the ball or you’re the veteran getting the penalties, you better figure it out. Figure it out quick. This season’s gonna go down.”

Antonio Pierce is more than just a name in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a>. He is a former player, Super Bowl champion, and now interim head coach of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Las Vegas Raiders</a>. As interim head coach, Pierce will have more responsibilities than he did in his previous coaching positions.



Pierce was a linebacker at Paramount High School in Paramount, California, where he played his early years of football. He went on to play college football at the University of Arizona, but he was not selected during the 2001 NFL Draft due to his height, too short for a linebacker according to scouts (6-1).



Pierce was undrafted, but he signed with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Washington Redskins</a> as a free agent. He played four seasons with the Redskins before signing with the New York Giants in 2005. He retired with the Giants in 2009.



<h2>How old is Antonio Pierce?</h2>
