ALAMEDA _ There’s a symmetry to how Charles Woodson will finish his career Sunday.
The Raiders’ safety plays his final game, the 254th of his career, against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. On Sept. 6, 1998, Woodson played the first regular-season game of his career at Arrowhead.
There have been 252 games in the interim that will some day land Woodson in the Hall of Fame, but he’s never forgotten how it started in a 28-8 loss.
“I remember that one, probably more than any other game, being it was the first game, and it wasn’t a good game,” Woodson said.
