Just before Thursday's game between the Raiders and Broncos began, a man reportedly jumped from the third deck at O.co Coliseum in Oakland, CA and was taken by ambulance to a hospital shortly thereafter, according to Katie Nelson of the Oakland Tribune.

Oakland police told Nelson that the man was listed in serious condition late Thursday night. The game began at 8:30 p.m. ET and the man reportedly jumped in the minutes prior to the game’s kickoff. The Raiders released a statement regarding the incident to NBC Bay Area:
“While we do not yet have any information beyond that which has been publicly reported, our thoughts and prayers are with this gentleman and his family and friends.”
The incident comes less than a week after a fan fell from the upper level of Bank of America Stadium at the ACC Championship Game. In October, a similar event reportedly occurred at the conclusion of a Giants game at MetLife Stadium.
The Raiders lost a sixth consecutive game on Thursday night with a 26-13 loss to the Denver Broncos.
