The Raiders think they’ve figured out how to defeat Patrick Mahomes.
The Las Vegas Raiders are a squad that is also enjoying its success while the Kansas City Chiefs win back-to-back Super Bowl wins and quarterback Patrick Mahomes solidifies his place among the all-time greats. The Raiders have motivation this offseason because they were the only team to defeat Kansas City after Thanksgiving, and they’re making the most of it.
Antonio Pierce, the new head coach of the Raiders, was featured on Maxx Crosby’s podcast, The Rush. Before the game, Pierce, who was the interim coach when the Raiders defeated the Chiefs in Arrowhead, told them he would carry on as head coach agains
Good on the Raiders for maximizing their window of “We beat Mahomes, we gave out the recipe!” However, if that recipe calls for two defensive touchdowns that make up 14 of the 20 points they scored on Christmas Day, then I’m not really sure how replicable that recipe is for Vegas. Plus, the Chiefs and Mahomes are only going to get better, so I’m not really sure how much that recipe is going to work.
With the Mahomes rules, I mean…sure. Saying you’re going to be physical against a QB isn’t against the rules. However, the “knock the head off the snake” comment? Yeah that’s probably not going to fly with the NFL offices. They’ve seen comments like this one before, and it’s not an unusual thing that gets said in locker rooms, but Pierce probably shouldn’t say it out loud.
