Fans mock Antonio Pierce after Raiders HC takes sly dig at Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs: “Shut the f*ck up b*tch”

The Las Vegas Raiders wasted no time in sacking head coach Josh Mcdaniels after witnessing a series of lackluster performances. They made then-linebacker coach Antonio Pierce their interim head coach to continue the season.

Pierce showcased a promising performance amid the turbulent season. The Raiders also made no mistake by making the veteran their next HC. Pierce is now heading into his first full season as coach of the team. Surprisingly, he has already begun his game planning for slowing down the Super Bowl LVIII winner Kansas City Chiefs and Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes in the upcoming regular season.

Antonio Pierce motivated to challenge Chiefs once again

Antonio Pierce revealed the intense motivation behind his team’s rivalry with the Chiefs during a recent episode of The Rush with Maxx Crosby podcast. The fuel for this fiery determination is the Chiefs using the Raiders’ locker room during Super Bowl LVIII. Pierce used this incident as a rallying cry for his players.

“It’s tough because we can’t go in the building. We’re locked out too. But you know what? It’s motivation. Guess the last team to beat them. Who was the last team to beat the Chiefs?”, he said.

The Raiders indeed had accomplished this feat by beating them 20-14, and Pierce made sure his players remembered it. He exuded confidence by promising to “run it back” and insisting that both teams would cross paths again.

“Like I told them, we’ll run it back. We’ll see them again. They have to see us; we have to see them. We’ve already given the recipe of how to do it. These guys know what it’s like to do it on a day where – we talked about it. We were the first show on that day. We played at 10 o’clock, 12 o’clock their time. There was no NBA. LeBron wasn’t playing yet. Everyone was watching the Raiders versus the Chiefs.”

Pierce delved into the emotional aspect while explaining how he built up a deep-seated animosity towards the Chiefs. He drew a distinction between dislike and hatred while emphasizing the necessity of truly despising the opponent on the field.

Fans brutally roast Antonio Pierce

Antonio Pierce has found himself in the crosshairs of passionate NFL fans after his sly digs at the Chiefs.

Even a loyal Raiders supporter chimed in to slam the coach.

A netizen wrote, “As a Raiders fan…Raiders organization should keep their mouthed closed until next season. They are the superior team there is no question about this for the past 5-6 years.”

Antonio Pierce’s comments were intended as jabs at the Chiefs. His words have seemingly backfired, but he will have the chance to prove his statement in the upcoming season.
