With a football history as rich in excellence as the Oakland Raiders, there's no better tribute to the Silver & Black than highlighting the leadership and players that earned them their first NFL Championship.
NFL.com's "America's Game" showcases the 1976 Oakland Raiders championship season and the road they traveled and left littered with bruised and battered victims.
This 45-minute docu-drama narrated by actor Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix) is a testament and tribute to the many athletes who've tasted the bitterness of defeat yet continue clawing their way toward the mountaintop of their game.
The Oakland Raiders, after losing in six of the past eight AFC/AFL championship games (1968-1975), were finally able to conquer the mountain and hoist a Lombardi trophy into the air proclaiming themselves number one.
With the Autumn Wind theme song fading in and out of the story, Raiders fans of all generations will smile with pride as they view this NFL masterpiece film. Most Raider Nation fans have seen it all before, probably have it on disc like myself. But we never get tired of re-living the greatness of the Raiders.
