Antonio Pierce: Chiefs vs. Raiders is the best team in football vs. the worst team in football

It’s not often that a coach calls his own team the worst team in the NFL, but that’s exactly what Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce did today.

Looking ahead to Friday’s game between the Raiders and Chiefs, Pierce said the Chiefs are the best team in the league and the Raiders are the worst.

“Let’s call a spade a spade, shall we? “Best team in football versus the worst team in football,” Pierce said. “Let’s change the narrative. Let’s make it a dog fight, let’s make it ugly, let’s make it rough. It’s Black Friday. Let’s cause some chaos, get back to Raider football, have fun, win or lose.”

With the Chiefs at 10-1 and the Raiders at 2-9, Pierce may be in desperation mode, not just about this week’s game, but about his career as a head coach. If the Raiders don’t turn things around in the final weeks of the season, Pierce could be out as the Raiders’ head coach after a full season.

When Pierce was the Raiders’ interim head coach last year, he led them to an upset win in Kansas City on Christmas that helped him land the full-time head coaching job. Another upset over the Chiefs, this time on Black Friday, would go a long way toward changing the perception of Pierce and the Raiders as the worst team in the NFL.
