The Las Vegas Raiders faced confusion during a pivotal moment in their 19-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Coach Antonio Pierce noted that the team believed they heard a whistle indicating a dead play after quarterback Aidan O'Connell fumbled a snap, which was recovered by the Chiefs.
Pierce confirmed the Raiders would submit video of the play to the NFL for review, as they do routinely. Despite the claims of a whistle, players did not mention it postgame, with O'Connell and center Jackson Powers-Johnson taking responsibility for the miscommunication.
The Raiders, now on an eight-game losing streak, will look to rebound against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next Sunday.
