OAKLAND–Aqib Talib: Certified chain-snatcher.
For the second time in a calendar year, Broncos’ cornerback Aqib Talib and Raiders’ wide receiver Michael Crabtree went at each other, and on both occasions, Talib wound up snatching Crabtree’s chain off of his neck.
The pair first battled with one another on January 1 in the teams’ final regular season games last year, and on Sunday, Crabtree and Talib took each other to the ground in a fight that resulted in the ejections of both players.
Michael Crabtree still mad that Aqib Talib ripped off his chain last year (rightfully so)… both players ejected. #NFL #Broncos #Raiders pic.twitter.com/qciQko8vdF

Last year, Crabtree called Talib “childish” for ripping his chain when the duo squared off in a sideline shoving match, and on Sunday, Crabtree couldn’t prevent the thievery again. After Talib yanked Crabtree’s chain off of his neck, Crabtree took Talib to the ground on the sideline before their brawl spilled over onto the field.
Both players were ejected for fighting, and Oakland offensive lineman Gabe Jackson was also ejected on Sunday for making contact with an official.
