The Christmas Eve wind became a Raider for one night to provide Oakland faithful with a great going-away gift after 44 years in the Bay Area.
The Raiders handled the rival Denver Broncos when securing a 27-14 victory Monday at Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum.
It became a bittersweet moment.
No more Black Hole.
No more dirt infield in an NFL stadium.
Viva Las Vegas.
The team may be stuck in limbo for one more season before taking root in Sin City. Oakland faithful aren't going away quietly. The city sued the organization for violating antitrust laws.
