Antonio Pierce is heading into his first full season as coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, and he revealed that he’s already begun game planning for how to slow down reigning Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes ahead of their two matchups against the Kansas City Chiefs in the upcoming regular season.
During a recent appearance on Maxx Crosby’s podcast, “The Rush,” Pierce said that his team prepares for Mahomes much like the Detroit Pistons got ready to face Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls during the 1980s and 90s.
Pierce revealed that he’s taking inspiration from the Bad Boy Pistons era, one of the most physical teams in NBA history, in order to best concoct a strategy to stop Mahomes and the Chiefs.
