The '''{{nfly|2000}} [[Oakland Raiders]] [[List of Oakland Raiders seasons|season]]''' was the franchise's 31st season in the [[National Football League]], the 41st overall, their fifth season of their second stint in Oakland, and the third season under head coach [[Jon Gruden]]. The Raiders finished the season 12–4, winning the AFC West for the first time since 1990. They returned to the playoffs for the first time since [[1993 Los Angeles Raiders season|1993]], when the team was still in [[Los Angeles]].<ref>[http://www.sportspool.com/football/nfl_history/oakland_raiders.php History: NFL Football – Oakland Raiders<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The Divisional Round playoff game versus the Miami Dolphins would be their first home playoff game in Oakland since defeating the [[1980 Houston Oilers season|Houston Oilers]] in the [[1980 Oakland Raiders season|1980]] AFC Wild Card Playoffs.
The '''{{nfly|2000}} [[Oakland Raiders]] [[List of Las Vegas Raiders seasons|season]]''' was the franchise's 31st season in the [[National Football League]] (NFL), the 41st overall, their sixth season of their second stint in Oakland, and the third season under head coach [[Jon Gruden]]. The Raiders finished the season 12–4 (the best record in the Gruden era), winning the [[AFC West]] for the first time since [[1990 Los Angeles Raiders season|1990]]. They returned to the playoffs for the first time since [[1993 Los Angeles Raiders season|1993]], when the team was still in [[Los Angeles]].<ref>[http://www.sportspool.com/football/nfl_history/oakland_raiders.php History: NFL Football – Oakland Raiders<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The Divisional Round playoff game versus the [[2000 Miami Dolphins season|Miami Dolphins]] would be their first home playoff game in Oakland since defeating [[1980 Houston Oilers season|the Houston Oilers]] in the [[1980 Oakland Raiders season|1980]] AFC Wild Card Playoffs.

This was the first of three consecutive AFC West titles for the Raiders. As the No. 2 seed in the AFC, the Raiders received a bye into the divisional round of the [[2000–01 NFL playoffs|playoffs]]. Their four regular season losses were by a combined 16 points. The Raiders held [[2000 Miami Dolphins season|the Miami Dolphins]] scoreless, winning 27–0. The following week against the [[Super Bowl XXXV|eventual Super Bowl champion]] [[2000 Baltimore Ravens season|Baltimore Ravens]] in the AFC Championship, starting quarterback [[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.<ref>{{cite web |title=Siragusa Fined for Hit on Gannon |website=[[The Washington Post]] |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/2001/01/19/siragusa-fined-for-hit-on-gannon/3c19a6bf-f0db-435b-805c-a85c5cd91dac/}}</ref> This was the NFL-record ninth playoff loss in Raiders history with a [[Super Bowl]] berth at stake (since tied by the [[San Francisco 49ers]] in [[2013 San Francisco 49ers season|2013]]). The Raiders set a still-standing franchise record for most points scored in the regular season, with 479.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rai/|title = Las Vegas/Oakland/LA Raiders Team Encyclopedia| website=[[Pro-Football-Reference.com]] }}</ref>

The season was also the first for kicker [[Sebastian Janikowski]]. He would play 276 games in the regular season and playoffs as a Raider, a franchise record.

This was the first time the Raiders had ever visited Indianapolis. Their previous regular season away game against the Colts occurred as far back as ''[[1975 Oakland Raiders season|1975]]'' in [[1975 Baltimore Colts season|Baltimore]], although they also played in Baltimore during [[1977–78 NFL playoffs|the 1977 postseason]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Indianapolis Colts vs. Las Vegas Raiders Results|url=https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/indianapolis-colts/teamvsteam?opp=23|website=The Football Database}}</ref> This anomaly was due to old NFL scheduling formulas in place prior to 2002, whereby teams had no rotating schedule opposing members of other divisions within their own conference, but instead played interdivisional conference games according to position within a season's table.<ref name="history">[https://www.pro-football-reference.com/blog/?p=521 History of the NFL’s Structure and Formats, Part Two]</ref>

The 2000 Oakland Raiders season was the franchise's 31st season in the National Football League (NFL), the 41st overall, their sixth season of their second stint in Oakland, and the third season under head coach Jon Gruden. The Raiders finished the season 12–4 (the best record in the Gruden era), winning the AFC West for the first time since 1990. They returned to the playoffs for the first time since 1993, when the team was still in Los Angeles.[1] The Divisional Round playoff game versus the Miami Dolphins would be their first home playoff game in Oakland since defeating the Houston Oilers in the 1980 AFC Wild Card Playoffs.

This was the first of three consecutive AFC West titles for the Raiders. As the No. 2 seed in the AFC, the Raiders received a bye into the divisional round of the playoffs. Their four regular season losses were by a combined 16 points. The Raiders held the Miami Dolphins scoreless, winning 27–0. The following week against the eventual Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship, starting quarterback 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.[2] This was the NFL-record ninth playoff loss in Raiders history with a Super Bowl berth at stake (since tied by the San Francisco 49ers in 2013). The Raiders set a still-standing franchise record for most points scored in the regular season, with 479.[3]

The season was also the first for kicker Sebastian Janikowski. He would play 276 games in the regular season and playoffs as a Raider, a franchise record.

Game information

This was the first time the Raiders had ever visited Indianapolis. Their previous regular season away game against the Colts occurred as far back as 1975 in Baltimore, although they also played in Baltimore during the 1977 postseason.[7] This anomaly was due to old NFL scheduling formulas in place prior to 2002, whereby teams had no rotating schedule opposing members of other divisions within their own conference, but instead played interdivisional conference games according to position within a season's table.[8]
