The Las Vegas Raiders dismantled the New York Giants in Week 9 30-6 under interim head coach Antonio Pierce.

The Las Vegas Raiders have been through a lot this season. The second season of Josh McDaniels was off to a terrible start. With newly-acquired QB Jimmy Garoppolo, Las Vegas’ offense regressed heavily. They’ve struggled against most of their opponents, and were just 3-5 heading into Week 9. McDaniels was understandably fired, and Garoppolo was […]

It’s safe to say that Davante Adams, Josh Jacobs, and the rest of the Las Vegas Raiders are already enjoying the new atmosphere in the locker room, one that is no longer ruled by Josh McDaniels, who was recently fired from his job as head coach of the team. Just days after McDaniels lost his […]

All is fine in Raiders Nation it seems. Less than a week after Josh McDaniels was handed his walking papers and replaced by Antonio Pierce on an interim basis, the Las Vegas Raiders got down to work and scored a 30-6 win in Week 9 at home at the expense of the lethargic New York […]
