According to Outkick, a Broncos fan also got into the mix for a bit as the brawl started but he was quickly sidelined and the main fight continued between fans of the same team. On Saturday night the fight got messy fast, as one saw lots of pushing, shouting and confusion before blows were exchanged. Some zoomed photos showed a man bleeding from the mouth and his white t-shirt covered in dark, red droplets.
A guy in a Jerry Rice jersey began punching a guy wearing a white t-shirt. He was seen punching his face several times during the fight till one of the blows finally knocked the guy out. The guy was knocked back into a chair. After the fight ended and the situation calmed down, he got on his feet, trying not to collapse with blood on his mouth and shirt.
