Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce pushes back against critics who were upset the team won against the Jacksonville Jaguars and hurt their draft position.
The Las Vegas Raiders may have complicated their draft position on Sunday as the team defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars, and fans of the team noticed. The Raiders would have dropped to 2-13 with a loss and would have been in a neck-and-neck race with the New York Giants for the No. 1 overall pick. But the Raiders won and the Giants lost. Las Vegas dropped to No. 6 because of the result.
As fans got upset with the Raiders on social media, head coach Antonio Pierce addressed critics during his media availability. 'We don’t do this to lose,' he said, per Pro Football Talk. 'We don’t do this for anybody’s fantasy football team. We don’t do this for anybody’s draft projections. None of that s--- matters to us. Only thing that matters to us is winning, and that’s all we want to do.
