MEXICO CITY -- Although it was played more than 2,000 miles from their usual home base, the Oakland Raiders enjoyed a healthy majority of the crowd support at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City for Monday Night Football, giving them a true home-field advantage in their eventual 27-20 win over the Houston Texans.
The pro-Raiders crowd mostly displayed the cheers and encouragement NFL has come to expect, save for a green laser pointer which shone on Houston QB Brock Osweiler for much of the Week 11 game, with the express goal of knocking the player out of his rhythm.
