Image via Complex Original

It's been one helluva NFL season thus far—emotional victories, crushing defeats, brutal concussions, and lots of rancorous shit-talking. And we're not even talking about what's happened on the field. Nope, we're talking about off-field stadium fuckery: angry bleacher creatures x alcohol x fans of enemy teams. Shit, even people who root for the same squad can get to scrappin', if the mood is right. It's been a banner year for NFL fan fights, and with everybody cellphone-filming everything, it wasn't too hard to come up with this countdown of the best bleacher brawls of the season. Security!

GAME: Week 11 - Chicago @ Miami

WHO FOUGHT: Urlacher's grandpa and a masked Dolphins fan

WHO WON: Urlacher's grandpa

COMPLEX SAYS: All the action takes place in the first few seconds of this sorta-fight. Had the confrontation not been broken up, we'd definitely put money on ol' gramps. Dude's prolly fought two wars—some 100-pound foolio full of Coors Light ain't gonna pose a problem.

GAME: Week 13 - Houston @ Philadelphia

WHO FOUGHT: A protective husband and a nerdy Eagles fan

WHO WON: The guy doing the slapping

COMPLEX SAYS: Sometimes there's nothing more effective than a clean open-handed slap. That was beautiful.

GAME: Week 12 - Minnesota @ Washington

WHO FOUGHT: A drunk-as-fuck, potbellied Skins fan and his buddy versus a dude in a Clinton Portis jersey

WHO WON: Clinton Portis

COMPLEX SAYS: Seriously, probably the most exciting thing to happen at FedEx Field all year. Some nice straight rights from CP.

GAME: Week 12 - Miami @ Oakland

WHO FOUGHT: A bouncer-lookin' Raiders fan and an overzealous Dolphins fan in enemy territory

WHO WON: C'mon, fam. Who you think?

COMPLEX SAYS: You really gonna go into the Black Hole wearing an enemy jersey, then take a swing at the biggest fucking dude in the crowd? You reap what you sow, potnah.

GAME: Week 3 - Dallas @ Houston

WHO FOUGHT: A tailgater squares off, then gets jumped

WHO WON: The sucker punchers

COMPLEX SAYS: Not sure who's repping what team, but suffice to say that ol' dude in the green got walloped. No such thing as a "fair" fight when it comes to a stadium melee. You better have a crew.

GAME: Week 10 - Dallas @ New York Giants

WHO FOUGHT: Some dude with no shirt on and a bunch of Giants fans

WHO WON: Homie with no shirt

COMPLEX SAYS: It's kinda hard to figure out what exactly happened here and who's fighting who—all we know is that a lot of crazy shit happened after the power outage at Giants Stadium. There is a lesson, though: Don't fuck with the dude without a shirt. He's usually psychotic.

GAME: Week 13 - Oakland @ San Diego

WHO FOUGHT: Two dudes in Raiders jerseys and some older white Chargers fans

WHO WON: Older white guys, FTW!

COMPLEX SAYS: On paper, you'd think the Raiders fans would be bullying their lily-white Chargers counterparts, right? Think again. Note to drunk fans: Don't let that liquid courage get you an eye jammy for Monday morning. Be cool, fool!
