      That's a great tribute to an NFL team with a proud heritage and greatness. Unfortunately for over 15 years now that heritage has become obscured and tarnished. If there was only some way todays players could begin to appreciate how great they really were and strive to bring that PRIDE back to a floundering franchise now in UGH Las Vegas of all places.

    As a lifelong Cowboy fan and a 54-year-old man, when I hear Autumn Wind and listen to Facenda and see the great Raiders teams of the 70's...if that doesn't give you chills you just don't like real football. The '70s were the greatest era ever when it comes to the NFL. Several teams had dynasty talent in the Steelers, Cowboys, Dolphins, Raiders, Vikings etc. and it seemed that the games were always hard-hitting bloodbaths no matter what teams were playing, but those Raider squads with Tatum and company were brutal. If my Cowboys were out I always cheered for the Raiders or Vikings back then...ANYONE BUT THE STEELERS LOL. Still, much respect to all those teams including the great Steeler teams..what a decade!!!

    Oakland center Jim Otto (6:44)- during his NFL career, had nearly 74 operations, including 28 on his knee (nine of them during his playing career) and multiple joint replacements. His joints became riddled with arthritis, and he developed debilitating back and neck problems. At one point he fought off three life-threatening infections due to complications from his artificial joints. At one point he was without a right knee joint because he had to wait for an infection to heal before another artificial knee could be implanted. Otto eventually had to have his right leg amputated in 2007

You NEVER change the ENTIRE game plan 2 weeks before the game. Takes too much time to remember and people forget. Gruden caved to the "powers" while Al Davis would stick his thumb in their eye.

      Gruden was the HC of the Bucs in the SB.
      Callahan was the Raiders HC and he changed the game plan on the last day of practice. But worse than that, the Raiders didn't change their audible calls or anything after Gruden was traded to the Bucs. Gruden and the Bucs Defense knew everything the Raiders were doing.

    In the early years, the Raiders almost folded due to poor fan interest and Al Davis accepted a loan from Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson to keep the team afloat.

    Every time I watch this video I get fired up. In the intro it shows several players that are only identified by their numbers. What's it mean when I can put a name to every one of those guys? I've known Lester Hayes since Coach Madden introduced us in 1971(?). I took my grandson to meet him and my boy bragged that I was his coach. Lester being Lester called me coach. The next practice he runs up to the huddle and announces, "Lester Hayes calls my poppa Coach!". I didn't know if I should melt into the turf or stick my chest out until the boys decided for me that I must be a god of football, which of course I'm not even on the same field as Coaches Madden, Lombardi, etc. but you can't buy a moment like that. Thanks Lester, you made me a hero!
    Sure wish that team would show up once in a while.

      @@4736dmr I USE to think "The Sea of Hands Game" was the Greatest sporting event I ever saw. Until 45 years later when I saw NFL films Hour long special on the game. It shows a replay of Cliff Branch trapping that Epic bomb thrown to him by Stabler. I guess the Network missed it, because had I known, my buddies and I would've talked about it for years. I wish I never found out about it. I never did replace it with another favorite Alltime game.

    The rules in 1968 were ridiculous--the Raiders had a 12-2 record and the Jets an 11-3 record (and Oakland had also defeated the Jets in the "Heidi" game) and yet the Jets got to host the AFL title game--the league had alternated the championship game between the East and West and it just happened to be the East turn to hold it (despite the fact the Raiders had the better record)

    @3:05 Daryle Lamonica to Warren Wells. Later, the "Immaculate Reception" was decided on whether the refs could exit the Pittsburgh stadium without being mobbed by upset Steeler fans....not on the legality of the play....which was illegal, and the refs knew it. The 1974 AFC Playoff game between Oakland and Miami was a classic. The Denver fumble was a fumble and everyone saw it. Many, many times were the Raiders cheated out of victories by the "powers that be". Yes, it was done purposely. Rich boy owners and their buddies fixed many games and/or attempted to fix them. Which is why the Raiders were hated. They didn't play the "game" with the other teams/owners and often won when they weren't supposed to win....hence the Raider mystique.

The Raiders would beat the dog piss outta the opposing team on the field. Win or lose, they were battered and bruised in the locker room after the game.

    Great vid, but a big error relates to the 1969 season......yes, this was John Madden’s first as Head Coach, and it was the last year of the AFL......the Raiders beat KC twice during the reg season, but lost 17-7 at home in the final AFL Championship Game (see awesome youtube video of this game, titled « The Final Showdown »).
    It was actually the NEXT season 1970, first year of the merger, where George Blanda had his remarkable string of games were he led Raider comebacks, working miracles as both their Kicker and backup QB.......again, this occurred in Madden’s second season, 1970, not his first as stated in the video.

    The Raiders were never intended to be an AFL franchise, they were added in at the last minute when Minnesota backed out of the league to take the offer from the NFL. To replace Minnesota, Baron Hilton of the Chargers demanded another team be placed in California or he'd withdraw.
    Al Davis, while commissioner of the AFL, never pushed for a merger. He wanted to bury the rival league.
