Interim Raiders Coach Antonio Pierce Faces Tough Test in Final Games
Pierce's future with the team uncertain as Raiders face challenging end to the season.
- Interim Raiders coach Antonio Pierce has five games left to prove he should be the team's permanent head coach. The Raiders are currently 2-2 under Pierce.
- Four of the Raiders' final five games are against teams with winning records, presenting a significant challenge for Pierce.
- Raiders owner Mark Davis has previously shown a tendency to favor big-name hires, potentially putting Pierce at a disadvantage.
- Running back Josh Jacobs has performed well under Pierce, rushing for 98, 116 and 110 yards in three of the four games.
- Pierce has made some questionable in-game decisions, including playing it safe in key situations against Miami and Kansas City.
