Raiders’ Gruden says someone played a trick on him with Oakland hat

There’s been a lot of change in 2020, it can be hard to keep track.

And while coach Jon Gruden could have easily been forgiven for mistakenly wearing an Oakland Raiders hat instead of a Las Vegas one for the first half of the team’s 30-27 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, it turns out there may have been some high jinks involved.

“I will say I apologize for not having the right hat on. Somebody played a pretty good trick on me,” Gruden told reporters after the game.

The Raiders are in their first season in Las Vegas after relocating from Oakland following the 2019 campaign.

To make matters potentially even more confusing, Gruden is in his second stint with the Raiders. He first coached the Raiders from 1998 to 2001, before rejoining the franchise in 2018.
