HENDERSON, Nev.--The Las Vegas Raiders opened the much-anticipated 2024 NFL regular season with a disappointing loss to their AFC West rival, the Los Angeles Chargers.
Coach Pierce: “I think when you look at the offense, we look at the end result. There were a lot of plays called in the pass game that was to be aggressively thrown down the field. There are a lot of things that factor into that, protection, guys open, quarterback. All that stuff goes into play. So, when I say ball control, I want to keep our defense fresh, and I want to be able to finish games in the fourth quarter like what happened to us.
Coach Pierce: "I thought we saw just a glimpse of what it is and what he can be. What I really was excited about was him in the run game. I thought he had some really good examples of some blocks out there on their defensive ends, 52 and 97. But again, like any rookie, it's his first game. I think he felt like he left some yards out there as well.
Coach Pierce: "Yeah, well, we had two penalties, which one was costly because it was on a big run. And then we had the offsides penalty, that was a sack. So, we had two penalties in the game. The thing that's disappointing was just, obviously, the little deal down there in the end zone. And I get it, we're protecting our teammates, but we never want to put ourselves in a position where it's possibly ejection, fines, or suspension down the road.
Coach Pierce: "No, it's more frustrating. Because I thought, when you look at it, I'm just going from the offensive side of ball, we had about six or seven possessions where we're at midfield or in plus territory, and it didn't go the way we wanted to go. We didn't finish. We make a big play with Brock , incomplete pass, two sacks, right? We get a two-minute drill, and we have a fumble. We get down there, we get an explosive run, we get a holding.
