Raiders’ Crabtree, Broncos’ Talib ejected for fighting
By Eric Gilmore, The Sports Xchange
OAKLAND, Calif. — Oakland Raiders wide receiver Michael Crabtree and Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib were ejected from the game with 11:56 left in the first quarter Sunday after a fight at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
Crabtree and Talib each received offsetting unnecessary roughness penalties. Raiders offensive guard Gabe Jackson was also ejected for making contact with an official and was penalized 15 yards.
As Crabtree and Talib went to the ground hard and continued battling on the Broncos sidelines, players from both teams rushed to join the confrontation.
When the Raiders and Broncos met last season in Denver, Talib ripped Crabtree’s chain off his neck on one play.
