Things are descending into chaos in Oakland. Media has been asked to leave the field as security engaged in full-on brawl with a fan. Another woman gushed blood from her forehead, appearing as if she had been hit by trash heading for the field. pic.twitter.com/zOlImU7hEh

The Raiders are moving to Las Vegas at the end of the season, so this was truly their final home game in the Bay Area. One of the most rabid fan bases in all of sports has lost its team to relocation. It has to be a tough pill to swallow.
