LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — During the postgame interview, Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden was asked about his inconsistency of wearing a face mask during the team's 34-24 win over the Saints.

Several coaches have been fined over not wearing their masks while coaching during a game.

Gruden had this response to a question if he knew other coaches had been fined by the NFL: "I'm doing my best. I've had the virus, ok, I'm doing my best. I'm very sensitive about it but I'm calling plays and just want to communicate during these situations. I apologize."
