Classy NFL: Talib and Crabtree fight after chain snatch - Game attendance continues decline
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) ‐ Michael Crabtree apparently came into the game looking for a fight.

Still upset after Denver cornerback Aqib Talib ripped a chain off his neck last season, Crabtree didn’t take long to seek revenge in his first game against the Broncos this season, leading to a full-blown brawl and three ejections on Sunday during Oakland’s 21-14 win over the Broncos.

"I guess his initiative was to come out there and fight today," said Denver cornerback Chris Harris Jr., who said Crabtree "sucker punched" him on the previous play.

"I guess it wasn’t to play football. He came out there, just punched me in the stomach and I lost my breath."

Crabtree has been angry ever since Talib ripped Crabtree’s chain off his neck during the regular-season finale last season. Crabtree sat out the first meeting this season in Denver with a chest injury, but sought retribution Sunday.
