You know your team is doing an unexpectedly great job when even the owner is in absolute shock at how well his team is doing.
That was the case in Las Vegas on Thursday night as Mark Davis’ Raiders absolutely trounced the Los Angeles Chargers with a 63-7 lead with nearly an entire quarter of football to go.
The Raiders crossed the 60-point threshold on a pick-6 for cornerback Jack Jones on Chargers quarterback Easton Stick.
After the play, the Thursday Night Football broadcast crew cut over to Davis in his box, who could barely believe what he was watching. His reaction is pretty priceless.
This Pick-6! Even Mark Davis couldn’t believe it.#LACvsLV on Prime Video

I mean, can you blame him? This was a five-win Raiders team absolutely demolishing a division rival with the same record.
We’re not sure if a game like this could actually earn interim coach Antonio Pierce the job in Las Vegas past this season, but it sure doesn’t hurt. Davis’ reaction to this wild game said as much.
