Patriots Raiders playoff scuffle ends game in Los Angeles
After New England won 27 20 over the Los Angeles Raiders a post game scuffle broke out involving Raiders Howie Long Matt Millen and Patriots general manager Patrick Sullivan. Sullivan and Billy Sullivan said the clash stemmed from bad blood with Al Davis and Long had taunted Sullivan during the game. Long described Sullivan as jellyfish and spineless and said he pretended to hit him to provoke a reaction. Millen then struck Sullivan from behind with a helmet prompting players to intervene. Billy Sullivan linked Longs behavior to Davis legacy and the Raiders move from Oakland to Los Angeles in 1982.
