    Oakland Raiders Transcript RAIDERS HEAD COACH JON GRUDEN Opening Statement: “I would just like to say I am really proud of our team. I am thankful for our fans, they were there at every game for us. I really appreciate their support. Dwayne [Harris] was unbelievable tonight. Not just on the returns but in all phases of the special team. Karl [Joseph] had his best game that I have ever seen as a Raider. I really credit Doug [Martin] with his running style. Our kicker continues to make clutch field goals. I thought all three phases contributed. It was a big win. Merry Christmas to everybody.” Q: What are your thoughts on tonight being the last game in the Coliseum? Gruden: “I don’t like it. It’s too sentimental tonight. That’s not the case, it’s for other people to decide. The love affair for the fans here with the Raiders goes way back and when we get this result like we did tonight, it is a Merry Christmas for everybody.” Q: Why was it important for you to go to the black hole after the game? Gruden: “I used to make that happen every game. After every game we won. We didn’t have that many opportunities to do that this year. I think our team played good football tonight and a lot of that is playing because of our fans. We came back against the Chiefs and made it a fourth quarter game and then came back and beat Pittsburgh. I thought we played pretty good tonight.

  • GRUDEN: “I Would Just Like to Say to the Chiefs, Congratulations. They Are a Very Good Football Team
    Kansas City Chiefs vs. Oakland Raiders Sunday, December 1, 2019 Game 12 Raiders Head Coach Jon Gruden GRUDEN: “I would just like to say to the Chiefs, congratulations. They are a very good football team. We had 12 penalties. I don’t think they had any. The turnovers, penalties were a big part of this game. I am not disappointed with the effort of our team, but we got to learn from this and I have to take it upon myself. The penalties and the turnovers are two things that will do you in in big games in December when everything is on the line.” Q: Do you think that first interception was deflating? GRUDEN: “Yeah, I mean it is no question. You overcome a penalty. You are moving the ball and the interception did not help. It is not the only reason why we lost the game. We had an interception that we felt we did intercept that was turned over by the Wizard of Oz or somebody. I do not know what happened on that. That was a big play in the game no doubt.” Q: What was the most disappointing thing about today? GRUDEN: “I think our inability to stay away from the penalties and put ourselves in horrible situations. We had the turnovers in the kicking game. I think we had four defensive false starts. We had a pick six. We just never found our rhythm at all. That is disappointing but I know where we are. I know where they are as a football team.
