Black Night

A sideline slideshow from Monday Night Football in Oakland.

Wearing spiked collars, elaborate armor and wolf masks, they howled long and loud before a national Monday Night Football audience, summoning a sold-out stadium's thunder shower of noise that rained down upon the field early and often and raised the Oakland Raiders to within a few seconds of a huge upset of the division favorite San Diego Chargers. The Weekly was there to see what it looked like from the field.
