Raiders Antonio Pierce wasn’t going to show mercy to the LA Chargers while beating them down.
On Thursday night, the Raiders absolutely embarrassed the Chargers and took a 42-0 lead going into halftime.
Before the third quarter, Pierce was interviewed by Amazon’s Kaylee Hartung and was asked what his message to his team was while being up 42 points.
Without hesitation, Pierce told Hartung that he told them to “press the gas pedal even harder.”
You heard the man.

The Raiders listened to their coach because they immediately drove up the field and scored another touchdown to take a 49-0 lead vs the Chargers.
The #Raiders are just playing games with the Chargers now. It's 49-0. They have Jakobi Meyers out here throwing to Davante Adams.

Pretty cold-blooded by Pierce, but like Brandon Staley he’s also fighting for his job as an interim head coach.
