Winners of three Super Bowls and home to such legendary names as Marcus Allen, Howie Long, John Madden, Bo Jackson and Tim Brown, the Raiders were forged in the image of their maverick, visionary owner and former coach, the late Al Davis. With their signature silver and black uniforms, one-eyed pirate logo and outlaw mentality, the Oakland Raiders are one of the most recognizable teams on the planet.
“Just Win, Baby”
It's been 30 years since the Raiders last hoisted the Lombardi Trophy and 11 years since their last playoff run, which ended with a heartbreaking Super Bowl loss to the John Gruden-coached Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Though the franchise will always bear the imprint of Al Davis, Raider Nation is hungry for success and in the confident hands of GM Reggie McKenzie and 2nd Year coach Dennis Allen, there's plenty of reason for optimism.
After backing up an NFL MVP in Aaron Rodgers and then 2012 breakout superstar Russell Wilson in Seattle, Matt Flynn finally gets his chance under center for the Oakland Raiders. With rising star Danarius Moore on the outside, Run DMC (Darren McFadden) tearing up the middle and future Hall-of-Famer Charles Woodson returning to the Raiders to anchor the secondary, there's a lot to like about the Raiders in 2013.
