Ok. After watching the clip, which was the whole play, I saw that right before Brayton gave Stevens a knee to the balls, it looks like Stevens tried to kick Brayton in the balls first. Now, it could be that Brayton got him off balance, and he lifted his leg to gain balance, and Brayton could have percieved that as an attack. But, regardless, Brayton should not have hit back. Because, right now, he's being villified. And being a Raider, everyone is going to blame him, because the Raiders "play that way". It's sad all the way around.
