Oakland’s own Marshawn Lynch lights Al Davis torch in Raiders possible final game in the town

Marshawn Lynch will not be taking the field in what could be the Raiders final game in Oakland. But he will still be a part of the day. The Oakland native will light the Al Davis ‘flame that burns brightest’ torch before the game.

Beastmode has been on injured reserve since week seven with a groin injury. The 32-year-old back is in the second year of a two-year deal with the team, so it’s possible this could be his final act as a member of his beloved hometown Raiders. It’s a nice gesture. Both for him and the Oakland faithful who showed up in the pouring rain to come out and support their Silver & Black on prime time.

I think I can speak for most of us when I say hopefully this will not be the last game in Oakland for the Raiders or Marshawn Lynch.
