The 49ers and Raiders duked it out at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday.

San Francisco earned its seventh win of the season with a 38-17 victory over the Raiders. While Oakland is no longer the home for the storied franchise, 49ers star Trent Williams was shocked by how loud Raiders fans really were at the game.

“Obviously, the fan engagement with this game is nuts, it’s through the roof. Since they’ve been in Vegas so long, we don’t really feel it. But obviously the fans haven’t forgotten,” Williams said.

“I’ve never once experienced that loud of an eruption [from opposing fans] at our home game.”

The Battle of the Bay is one of the NFL’s historic rivalries, but after the Raiders relocated to Las Vegas in January 2020, the 49ers haven’t felt the tension given no team is across the San Francisco Bay Bridge.

However, it’s evident 49ers and Raiders fans have kept the rivalry alive.

Aside from the elevated volume inside Levi’s Stadium Sunday, fans took it upon themselves to defend their teams via fist fights and brawls.

Though the 49ers and Raiders only play once every few years, the bad blood remains among fanbases.
