Lore & Background
The Raiders have won one AFL championship (1967) and three Super Bowl titles (Super Bowl XI, Super Bowl XV, and Super Bowl XVIII). Their five Super Bowl appearances are tied with the Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants, and Washington Commanders.
In Their Own Story
The air inside the Superdome was thick with humidity and anticipation as the Silver and Black took the field against the Stars and Stripes. It wasn't just another game; it was a reckoning. As the Raiders lined up, their helmets gleaming under the harsh lights, they looked like an army of invaders ready to dismantle the establishment. The Cowboys stood tall, confident in their dynasty, but history had taught them never to underestimate the outlaw spirit across the line of scrimmage.
