The Raiders might be in Las Vegas, and the Chargers might be in Los Angeles, but these two teams still do not like each other.
Fans were reminded of that at SoFi Stadium when the two teams locked horns.
Late in the fourth quarter, the teams came to massive blows following the Chargers scoring a touchdown that seemingly put the game out of reach.
With less than four minutes to go, Raiders’ cornerback Jack Jones and Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer got into a grabbing and shoving match as fists could be seen getting thrown as more and more players came in and made the situation worse.
In the end, both players would be ejected from this game.

The game was already in hand, so the ejections didn’t end up impacting the game.
Once the NFL’s league office reviews the brawl, it will either issue a suspension or fines for everyone’s behavior during the fight.
Jones finished the game with four tackles, while Palmer recorded two catches for 15 yards on four targets, per their stats on ESPN.
Chargers And Raiders Fighting Had No Effect On The Game
After the Chargers scored a touchdown in the final quarter of play to take a 22-10 lead over the Raiders, cornerback Jack Jones and wide receiver Joshua Palmer would find themselves being ejected after a fight in the back of the end zone.
The game was already in hand, so the home team’s fans were going home happy.
The Raiders lost their season opener 22-10 to the Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Sunday despite having more fans at the road game.
