NFL Coach Calls His Team The ‘Worst In Football’

Coming into the 2024 NFL season, the Las Vegas Raiders had high hopes of turning things around under new head coach Antonio Pierce, who seemed to win over the locker room in the final stretch of last season as the interim head coach in the aftermath of the firing of Josh McDaniels.

Unfortunately, Pierce hasn’t been able to get things figured out in Las Vegas, as it could be argued the team has taken two steps back rather than the expected step forward as the Raiders head into Week 13’s battle with the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs with only two wins on the season.

Along with limping to the finish line this year, where the team will be looking toward the 2025 NFL Draft rather than competing for a playoff spot in the AFC, the team will be without veteran quarterback Gardner Minshew for the rest of the 2024 campaign.

Ahead of the divisional showdown with the defending Super Bowl champions, Pierce spoke to the media on Wednesday and admitted that his team is arguably the worst team in the NFL right now.

“Let’s call a spade a spade. Best team in football against the worst team in football. Let’s change the narrative,” Pierce said.

Obviously, this won’t sit well with the avid Raiders fans, nor will his players take kindly to being referred to as the worst squad in the league, as no one wants that admission from their head coach, even if it might be the truth.

Even though the Raiders have been awful this year, these divisional matchups in the AFC West can more often than not be all-out battles, which might be the case on Friday at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield. He forced missed tackles left and right, and he was a factor with his pass blocking and reliable hands in the passing game as well. It was a much-welcome per...
