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.

The Raiders were trailing 19-17 but were approaching field-goal range in the final minute. However, a miscommunication between quarterback Aidan O'Connell and center Jackson Powers-Johnson resulted in an early snap that caused a fumble that the Chiefs recovered to secure the victory.

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."
