One of my favorite moments of Week 9 was watching Antonio Pierce shake Mark Davis’s hand on the field while the stadium speakers blasted Eazy-E’s Real Mutha(bleeping) Gs after the Raiders crushed the Giants.
Pierce is an old-school, no-nonsense type of coach, but you can tell the interim coach knows how to relate to his players, and his presence paved the way for the Raiders to deliver their best performance of the season a few days after Davis fired Josh McDaniels.
Speaking of Real Gs, Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud also announced himself as the real deal at quarterback with his five-touchdown performance during the comeback win against the Buccaneers. Stroud and Pierce are both from the L.A. area, so they know plenty about Eazy-E and N.W.A music.
