Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said Patrick Mahomes is the third-best quarterback of all time.

As if the Chiefs needed any more bulletin board material for this week’s matchup, Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce gave them another sound bite to provide some “rat poison,” as Georgia head coach Kirby Smart calls it.

When speaking with the media on Wednesday, Pierce was asked where Patrick Mahomes stacks up all-time at the quarterback position and was asked specifically about Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, both of whom he played against.

“Three,” Pierce said of where Mahomes ranks. “I’m sure by the end of it, he’ll probably move up, but the two gentlemen you named obviously are Hall of Famers, one is the greatest of all time.”

“Game planning against him is the same countless sleepless nights that you had as a player,” Pierce continued. “It’s tough because he’s a tremendous talent, very competitive, and, to be honest, even with what’s going on this season with interceptions, he’s still playing his best ball.”

The Chiefs have suffered immense injuries at the skill positions this year with Rashee Rice, Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Isiah Pacheco all sidelined for this week’s matchup. Still, facing Mahomes is always a terrifying proposition, and Pierce admitted as much on Wednesday.
