On Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos, three players were ejected from the game after a fight broke out on the sidelines, according to Bleacher Report.

The fight involved Oakland Raiders players Michael Crabtree and Gabe Jackson against Broncos Aqib Talib. Crabtree and Talib have always had tention, dating back to Week 17 last year, when Talib ripped a gold chain off Crabtree’s neck. The fight began on the sidelines and then carried onto the field.

OG Jackson was ejected after having contact with a referee. WR Crabtree and CB Talib were ejected after physical altercations on the sidelines.

CB Chris Harris Jr said Crabtree sucker-punched him the play before the fight broke out.

The three ejections on Sunday brought this season to a total of 13 ejections, which ties the record for most ejections during a single NFL season dating back to 2001.

Last year, Crabtree referred to Talib when he told reporter, “You see the dude and what he’s doing in front of me. What do you want me to do? I can’t react, or they kick me out of the game and I’m the bad guy. I made a business decision for my team.”

Sunday was the first time both players had crossed paths since the chain incident on Week 17.
