The beginning of a new decade was highlighted by a 59-point explosion in Denver on October 24, 2010, the most-ever points scored by the Oakland Raiders.

Just a few weeks into the 2011 season, the Raiders lost a legend. On October 8, Al Davis, the Raiders’ longtime owner, Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, AFL Coach of the Year, AFL Commissioner, and the architect of the Raiders’ Commitment to Excellence, passed away. Just 24 hours after his passing, the Silver and Black went into Houston and took down the Texans, 25-20. Michael Huff’s interception with just 10 men on the field for the Raiders sealed the win at the end of regulation.

In 2013, the Silver and Black took down the Steelers for the fourth time in their last five meetings, highlighted by quarterback Terrelle Pryor’s NFL record 93-yard touchdown scamper on the first play from scrimmage. The following season, Charles Woodson became the only player in league history to record 50 career interceptions and 20 career sacks. The 2016 playoff-bound Raiders started off strong in Week 1 at New Orleans when rookie Jalen Richard’s first career carry was a 75-yard TD run to tie the score at 27. The eventual 35-34 victory was the first of 12 wins on the year for Oakland, which qualified for the postseason for the 22nd time.

The final few seasons in Oakland featured several individual and team achievements, including a Michael Crabtree touchdown grab on an untimed down in a 31-30 triumph over Kansas City, Maxx Crosby bursting on to the scene with four sacks in a 17-10 win over the Bengals and Dwayne Harris’ unforgettable 99-yard punt return for a touchdown, which tied for second-longest in NFL history.

The Raiders were born in Oakland, a city that will always be a part of the Silver and Black’s DNA. Unified in their commitment to excellence with a celebrated history in both Oakland and Los Angeles, the Raiders looked forward to the next chapter in their storied history in Las Vegas.
