According to NBC's Michele Tafoya, the Raiders planned on staying in the locker room during the anthem, but because of the way primetime games are structured, they would have missed the coin toss and possibly received a 15-yard penalty.

Earlier on Sunday, the Seahawks, Titans and Steelers all stayed in their locker rooms during the anthem.
