The two Bay Area rivals plan on bringing some intensity to the game and Raiders defensive end Justin Tuck expects to see everyone from Oakland put their best foot forward.
“I’ve played in some rivalry games as far as same city, same backyard-type rivalries playing the New York Jets and things like that,” said Tuck, via CSN Bay Area. “You know that it’s going to be a game that you’re going to come out of it very sore. You’re going to come out of it very banged up, but it brings the best out of you.”
If we should take anything from Tuck’s comments about Sunday’s game, it is that we should expect some violence on the field.
“I think the best thing for us now is to turn all of our attention and our focus to what lies ahead, and that’s this bloodbath that I think we’re about to have against the 49ers,” Tuck said.
“Big rivalry game. Everybody in this area has been waiting for this game for a long time. I think that’s the best thing that could have happened after a loss like that, is to have this type of game where all of your attention has to be focused on the 49ers going forward.”
Let’s just hope the bloodbath doesn’t happen in the crowd or parking lot when the Raiders and 49ers fans come face-to-face. Or, you know, another bloodbath to the tune of 52-0.
