This weekend marks the beginning of the 2016 NFL Playoffs, which will ultimately determine who goes to Super Bowl 50. We will see some great games and solid rivalries, so on this #FlickrFriday, we are spotlighting our San Francisco Bay Area football rivalry: the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders. Here are some Flickr photos that demonstrate just how deep the rivalry goes.
