From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2000 Oakland Raiders season was the club’s 31st season in the NFL, and 41st season overall. The Oakland Raiders returned to the playoffs for the first time since 1993, when the club was still in Los Angeles.[ 1] Led by John Gruden, the club appeared in its first AFC Championship Game since 1990 .
The Raiders held the Miami Dolphins scoreless in the divisional round, 27-0. The following week against the Baltimore Ravens , however, Rich Gannon sustained a shoulder injury after being hit by Baltimore's Tony Siragusa early in the second quarter. The loss of Gannon was too steep to overcome as the Raiders lost 16-3. Siragusa was later fined $10,000 for the hit. The Ravens would go on to win the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history.
