The Las Vegas Raiders took on the Denver Broncos during Week 6 of the 2021 NFL season, the first game without ousted head coach Jon Gruden.

Following Jon Gruden’s controversy last week, Davis commented on the matter. “I have no comment. Ask the NFL. They have all the answers,” he said last Wednesday. Following the team’s first win without Gruden in charge, Raiders owner spoke a little bit more in depth about the emails.

Via Las Vegas Review Journal:

“Listen,” Davis said outside the Raiders’ locker room in relation to Gruden’s emails, “the Raiders stand for diversity, inclusion and social justice. We always have and we always will. The emails that came out are not what we stand for. So Jon Gruden is no longer head coach of the Raiders.

“There’s not much more I can say. All the talking heads are making up all sorts of stuff. That’s all it is. We don’t stand for it.”

The Raiders are 4-2, tied with the Chargers atop the AFC West. As long as the Raiders are winning, I’m pretty sure Mark Davis doesn’t care who’s coaching.

Just win, Baby.
