The autumn wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea
With a rollicking song he sweeps along
Swaggering boisterously

His face is weatherbeaten
He wears a hooded sash
With a silver hat about his head
And a bristling black mustache

He growls as he storms the country
A villian, big and bold
And the trees all quake and shiver and shake
As he robs them of their gold

The autumn wind is a Raider
Pillaging just for fun
He'll knock you around
And upside down
And laugh when he has
Conquered and Won



OAKLAND RAIDERS

   3 Super Bowls   




SUPER BOWL XI

January 9, 1977
Rose Bowl
Pasadena, California

OAKLAND RAIDERS 32  MINNESOTA VIKINGS 14

The Raiders returned to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1968, when they lost to Vince Lombardi's Packers. The Silver and Black dominated this game with the running of Clarence Davis and Fred Biletnikoff's four receptions, which earned him the game's Most Valuable Player trophy. The Raiders built a 16-0 half time lead, while two fourth quarter interceptions clinched the Super Bowl victory. This game can best be remembered by the vision of cornerback Willie Brown's 75-yard interception return, a Super Bowl record.


SUPER BOWL XV

January 25, 1981
Lousiana Superdome
New Orleans, Lousiana

OAKLAND RAIDERS 27  PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 10

Jim Plunkett starred for the Raiders in their 2nd Super Bowl victory, throwing three touchdown passes, including an 80-yard strike to Kenny King, as the Raiders became the first wild card team to win the Super Bowl. Plunkett completed 13 of 21 passes for 261 yards and was Most Valuable Player. The Raiders won three playoff games to get to the Super Bowl, defeating Houston 27-7, Cleveland, 14-12 and San Diego, 34-27.


SUPER BOWL XVIII

January 22, 1984
Tampa Stadium
Tampa, Florida

LOS ANGELES RAIDERS 38  WASHINGTON REDSKINS 9

The Raiders dominated the game and easily handled Joe Theisman and the Redskins from the beginning. Defensive and special teams touchdowns highlighted the Raiders rout, most notably Jack Squirek's interception return for a touchdown just before halftime. Marcus Allen rushed for a Super Bowl-record 191 yards on 20 carries, 74 of which came on a dazzling touchdown run in the third quarter, and was MVP of Super Bowl XVIII.
