Lyle Alzado, one of football’s most aggressive performers, was buried after a private graveside service in Portland, Ore.

About 50 people, including Al Davis, owner and president of the Raiders, attended the service at a cemetery on a hillside above the Willamette River.

Alzado, a two-time All-Pro defensive end who blamed prolonged use of steroids for his terminal brain cancer, died Thursday morning at his home in the Portland suburb of Lake Oswego. He was 43.
