It's a good thing for Sio Moore that the Raiders didn't lose on Thursday, because if Oakland had lost, there's a good chance teammate Justin Tuck was going to hunt down Moore and fight him.
Why would Tuck almost fight his own teammate? Because of this.
With under a minute left and the Raiders clinging to a 24-20 lead, Sio Moore sacked Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith for a 7-yard loss.
Moore and Khalil Mack then proceeded to celebrate the sack 13 yards behind the line of scrimmage, seemingly not paying attention to the game that was still going on behind them.
The Raiders would have been called for an offsides penalty, but they weren't because Tuck called a timeout. After he called the timeout, Tuck understandably started to scold Moore on the field.
Once the Raiders finally won the game, everyone went to the locker room, where the San Jose Mercury News caught this exchange between Moore and Tuck.
Moore: Don't you ever scream at me like that again.
Tuck: I wanted to fight you. No, I did. I wanted to fight you. You know how your brother starts a fight and comes and gets you and its six guys waiting to fight? And you don’t want to fight them, you just want to fight the brother that got you in this mess? That's how I was. I wanted to fight you, not them.
Since the Raiders won, Tuck was probably half-joking, but I'm 80 percent sure there would've been a fight if Oakland would have lost.
Or Tuck wasn't half-joking and there definitely would've been a fight.

Anyway, Moore did eventually apologize for his celebration.
"I was so caught in the moment, that was an error I've got to make sure I clean up," Moore said after the game, via the team's official website. "In another situation, in all seriousness, that can make the difference, and I've got to understand that. I do apologize for putting the guys in that situation because that could come up in another situation later. I can’t let my emotions get the best of me."
Tuck was definitely excited after the game. The 10-year veteran even called the win 'special.'
"I've played in a lot of big games and a lot of emotional games, but that was something special. That was something I'll never forget. That's because this team has stuck together, we're a band of brothers," Tuck said.
Tuck is just glad he didn't have to beat up one of his brothers.
