Los Angeles Raiders

The Los Angeles Raiders were a professional American football team of the National Football League (NFL) The Raiders played in Los Angeles from 1982 to 1994 before relocating back to Oakland, California. The team's first home game was at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on November 22, 1982, after a 57-day player strike. They played their last game as a Los Angeles–based club on December 24, 1994, at the Coliseum against the Kansas City Chiefs, a game which they lost 19–9 to eliminate them from playoff contention. After both the Raiders and the Rams left Los Angeles after the 1994 season, Los Angeles was left without an NFL team until the 2016 season. The Raiders' fortunes declined after the loss to the New England Patriots in the 1985 playoffs. From 1986 through 1989, they finished no better than 8–8 and posted consecutive losing seasons for the first time since 1961–62. In addition to the team having to share Monday Night Football appearances as away games, the Raiders also had to share the team's Monday night games with the NFL's San Francisco 49ers and the San Diego Chargers.
