Raiders Coach Antonio Pierce Calls Team 'Worst in Football' Ahead of Chiefs Matchup

Pierce's blunt remarks come as the 2-9 Raiders prepare to face the 10-1 Chiefs on Black Friday, highlighting the stark contrast between the teams.

Antonio Pierce, head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, referred to his team as the 'worst in football' during a press conference before their Black Friday game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Raiders are tied for the NFL's worst record at 2-9, while the Chiefs hold the league's best record at 10-1, emphasizing the disparity between the two teams.
Pierce framed the matchup as an opportunity to 'change the narrative,' encouraging his players to make the game a 'dogfight' and embrace the chaos of the rivalry.
