Security guards at Allegiant Stadium had their hands full during Sunday’s Chargers-Raiders game in Las Vegas.
A fight broke out in the background of a local television interview with a Raiders fan, as seen in a video that surfaced on social media this week.
A Las Vegas sports reporter was finishing the interview when a male fan, clad in a Justin Herbert Chargers jersey and a backward cap, punched another male, who was wearing a Charles Woodson Raiders jersey.

The scuffle spilled onto the ground and another male, sporting a white Chargers jersey, jumped in.
A few women, who appeared to be with the men involved, were seen during the melee.
A woman sporting a Raiders jersey was seen stomping her black boots on someone in the footage and had to be held back by a stadium employee.
