Lore & Background
The Raiders have won one AFL championship and three Super Bowl titles. The team won the AFL Championship in 1967 prior to the 1970 AFL–NFL merger and lost their first Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl II. The franchise would go on to win their next three Super Bowl appearances in Super Bowl XI, Super Bowl XV, and Super Bowl XVIII.
In Their Own Story
The lights hummed over the Oakland Coliseum, casting long shadows across the turf on a cold December night. Daryle Lamonica tightened his grip on the ball, the leather familiar against his gloves. The roar of the crowd was a physical weight, pressing down as he looked for Fred Biletnikoff cutting through the secondary. This wasn't just a game; it was validation for every doubter who said the Raiders were nothing but noise. As the snap came, time seemed to suspend, echoing the triumphs that would define an era of silver and black.
Reader's Guide
From 1960 to 2023, the franchise has played a total of 64 seasons. Due to a strike-shortened season in 1982, all teams were ranked by conference instead of division.
