The Chargers entered as one of the hottest teams in football — the Raiders entered as a dysfunctional mess — yet the announced crowd of 25,430 was roughly three-fourths Raiders fans. The Chargers beat the Raiders 30-10 to finish their first season since their return to L.A. 9-7. What’s equally amazing is how the Raiders fans continue to love an organization that almost never loves them back. The stadium was suddenly nearly empty, with only the few Chargers fans sticking around to stay goodbye. But, for now, the Fight for L.A. has been won by a Raiders team that isn’t even here, but never really left.
