Raiders' Antonio Pierce Defends Late-Game Execution Despite Botched Snap vs. Chiefs
Antonio Pierce is standing by the team's game plan after Friday's costly blunder against the Kansas City Chiefs.

On Saturday, Pierce was asked if he and his staff would have liked to do anything differently in that moment. According to ESPN's Paul Gutierrez, Pierce succinctly answered, "No."
