1984 Los Angeles Raiders season

NFL team season

The 1984 Los Angeles Raiders season was the franchise's 25th season overall, and the franchise's 15th season in the National Football League (NFL). The Raiders entered the season as defending Super Bowl champions. However, they failed to improve upon their previous season's output of 12–4, winning only eleven games.[1] Despite finishing third in their division, the team qualified for the playoffs for the third consecutive season.
