The relationship between wide receivers and cornerbacks is an interesting one since they go to battle every single play and are often talking smack to each other. This occasionally escalates into larger feud or fights.

One of the more memorable recent feuds between a wide receiver and cornerback was between Aqib Talib and Michael Crabtree.

Crabtree and Talib had it out for each other going into this game, with a previous encounter happening late in the season prior.

The animosity must have grew throughout the offseason, as shown by the video. Crabtree was able to get his hands on Talib when blocking him. The block went a bit far, driving him to the sideline through a camera man and pushed him on the ground, before falling on top of him.

This sparked the brawl between the Denver Broncos and then-Oakland Raiders, which resulted in Crabtree throwing some punches at Talib, which was a bad look for multiple reasons. Along with failing to make contact, this only increased Crabtree's fine from the incident.
