Raiders wide receiver Michael Crabtree and Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib exchanged fists just three minutes into the Raiders’ 21-14 victory in Oakland, and were subsequently ejected. Also dismissed was Raiders offensive guard Gabe Jackson, who reportedly made contact with an official. An all-out-brawl ensued, and Crabtree’s helmet even came flying off.

Marshawn Lynch guided Talib through Oakland’s sideline and away from the field, per NFL Network’s James Palmer.

Following the contest, Chris Harris Jr. claimed Crabtree sucker-punched him during the play prior to the fight.

According to ESPN.com’s Kevin Seifert, Sunday’s three ejections bring the season total to 13, which ties the record for most ejections in an NFL season since 2001.

Denver7’s Troy Renck noted the history between Talib and Crabtree:

The NFL will review the case to see if any players receive suspensions, although according to some sources, no bans are expected.
