Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce addressed the aftermath of a critical fumble during a close game against the Kansas City Chiefs, which resulted in an eighth consecutive loss for the team. The fumble occurred when quarterback Aidan O'Connell mishandled a snap intended to set up a game-winning field goal attempt.
Despite the missteps, O'Connell and rookie center Jackson Powers-Johnson took responsibility for the blunder. The Raiders had a chance to run more time off the clock but opted to spike the ball early, leading to confusion and the eventual turnover. Pierce noted that the team would typically voice concerns about officiating decisions to the NFL.
