The NFL loves its history. The Raiders are a big part of that history, going back to the 60s and were mainstays in the playoffs for every decade from the 60s to the early 2000s. Making for a lot of matchups that have you looking back to when the two teams had a heated battle in the fight to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
Naturally, the division games would all fall in there somewhere as at some point or another each has played a considerable factor in the Raiders’ standing. But there are a lot more teams who have had run-ins with the Raiders over their long history in the league.
There are a great many match-ups the Raiders have this season that carry historical significance. At least ten, in fact. Here they are.
