The confrontation between fans of the Cahrgers and Raiders | SCREENSHOT: ABC7/YouTube

Over the years, the rivalries in the AFC West have often been brutal. NFL lore is filled with chapters about the battles between the Chargers, Raiders, Chiefs, and Broncos that have left plenty of blood on the field and broken hearts in the process. Often, those battles can spill into the stands and erupt between their respective fan bases. And that appeared to be the case this weekend when a Raiders fan got an up-close look at the fist of a Chargers backer.

A Raiders fan was punched in the face with a huge shot while attending his team’s game in LA against the Chargers. On top of that? Las Vegas lost the game, too, dropping to 1-3 on the season after falling to Los Angeles, 24-17.The fan – wearing a Howie Long Raiders jersey – got into a disagreement with a Chargers fan who was decked out in some Justin Herbert gear.

The Bolts fan then decided to bring a little lightning of his own.And as is the case with everything these days? The wild fight was all captured on video.

The punch sent the Raiders fan to the ground. When he got up, he was hit by another couple of punches. Eventually, the Herbert fan pushed the guy down several rows of stairs. A fellow Raiders fan finally stepped in to help him before further damage was done.

It’s not been reported whether the Chargers follower was escorted out of SoFi Stadium, or if any assault charges were pressed. Round two between the two teams (and their fan bases) will take place on December 14 in Las Vegas.
