Raiders’ final game in Oakland ends with boos and fans tossing garbage on the field
A week before Thanksgiving, Raiders fans had dreams of their team making the playoffs in the final season in Oakland.
Heck, some thought the Raiders might catch the Chiefs and win the AFC West, thus ensuring at least one playoff game at the Coliseum before the team begins play next season in Las Vegas.

Oakland led 16-3 at halftime, but the Jaguars stormed back and scored a touchdown in the final minute to win the game.

Fans also threw trash on the field:
