The Christmas Eve divisional matchup opened with injured running back and Oakland native Marshawn Lynch lighting the Al Davis torch. The finale of Monday Night Football between one of the most heated rivalries in the league gave fans one heck of a show. If this was indeed the end of an era at O.co there was no better way to go out, or get started as the Raiders dominated the Broncos, and the scoreboard the entire time.
The Raiders got off to a fantastic start with a once-in-a-season play by Dwayne Harris. Five minutes into the first quarter, the Broncos first possession ended in a punt.
