The Las Vegas Raiders turned the ball over several times during Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and head coach Antonio Pierce was not at all happy about it.
Quarterback Aidan O’Connell threw one interception and the two also lost two fumbles in addition to a blocked punt during Sunday’s blowout loss to the Steelers.
During his postgame press conference, Antonio Pierce expressed his frustration with the turnovers, calling them “embarrassing.”
“We had four penalties, but they were at critical moments. The turnover thing is embarrassing,” Pierce said in his press conference according to Pro Football Talk.
“We don’t respect the ball enough, so we don’t even deserve a chance to put ourselves into position to win. Details. Obviously adjustments as the game goes on. We talked about the first drive, helluva job there. Then what does that lead up?
“I think defensively, I thought really good job in the first half tackling. Then as the game went on, you saw it be a little more leaky. Again, really it’s work. We’ve just got to go back and get to work. It’s very cliche, but it’s true.”
The Raiders now have a 2-4 record after losing their last two games.
Next week, they’ll try to bounce back with a game against the Los Angeles Rams.
