Raiders top rival Broncos in possible final game in Oakland

OAKLAND, Calif. -- It turned out to be more a celebration than a funeral.

Maybe.

Marshawn Lynch, Oakland's favorite son, who may or may not have already played his final NFL game, lit the Al Davis Torch to wild applause.

Doug Martin, who was born in Oakland, scored untouched on a 24-yard run before throwing up an "O" with his outstretched hands to the hometown crowd.

And the Oakland Raiders, who may or may not have played their final game in the Oakland Coliseum, gave their fans a thrill to last -- well, at least until a decision is made on where the Raiders will play home games in 2019 -- in a 27-14 defeat of the rival Denver Broncos on ESPN's Monday Night Football.
