Oakland Raiders receiver Michael Crabtree and Denver Broncos corner Aqib Talib were ejected just minutes into Sunday's divisional battle after they exchanged punches.
The scuffle appeared to begin after Talib snatched Crabtree's chain off his neck, something the Broncos corner did to his counterpart last season.

Crabtree and Talib scuffled from the field to the sidelines and had to be separated by teammates. Talib also managed to rip Crabtree's helmet off, and while scuffles broke out elsewhere, the two traded punches.
