4. Super Bowl XI was the only Super Bowl that John Madden was a head coach in.

6. Which opposing quarterback threw an interception in the end zone against the Raiders during a 1980 AFC Divisional playoff game that sealed the victory for Oakland?

Answer: Brian Sipe

In one of the worst decisions in NFL history Sipe threw the interception that effectively ended the game. What made the decision so horrible was the fact that the Browns could have won the game with a short field goal. Final Score--Raiders 14 Browns 12.

7. Jon Gruden coached the Raiders to AFC West divisional titles in 1999, 2000, and 2001?

Answer: False

Gruden, did lead the Raiders to the AFC West divisional title in 2000 and 2001, but finished 4th in 1999 with an 8-8 record.

8. Which Raider fell one short of the NFL single season record for interceptions when he picked off 13 passes in 1980?

Answer: Lester Hayes

Hayes incredible season was helped by the fact that he used "stickum" a sticky substance which he smeared all over his uniform. He probably could have intercepted a pass that hit him in the back of the head!

9. Which Raider was named MVP of Super Bowl XVIII?

Answer: Marcus Allen

Allen had an amazing game, rushing for 191 yards and two touchdowns as the Raiders shocked a very powerful Washington Redskins team, 38-9. Jim Plunkett was the MVP of Super Bowl XV.

10. Which Raider linebacker intercepted a Joe Thiesmann pass and ran it in for a touchdown, giving the Raiders a 21-3 halftime lead over the Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII?

Answer: Jack Squirek

This happened with seven seconds remaining in the half. Why the Redskins didn't run out the clock to end the half remains one of the NFL's greatest mysteries.
