Las Vegas Raiders fans aren’t happy with head coach Josh McDaniels.
In the fourth quarter, McDaniels decided to kick a field goal on 4th down inside the 10 yard line down by 8 points with 2:20 to go in the game.

The Raiders went on to lose the game to the Steelers and McDaniels tried to justify his decision in his postgame press conference.
“We were gonna need another possession anyways”

Raiders fans believe the field goal decision should be a fireable offense and are calling on team owner Mark Davis to fire McDaniels.
People wanted to fire Brandon Staley earlier for going on 4th and 1 when he failed inside the 25…
What Josh McDaniels is doing on this series is 1000% more a fire-able decision than anything I've seen this weekend
