The Las Vegas Raiders are one of the most historic franchises of all time with some of the best history. Sure, all it is, is history, now, as seeing how the franchise hasn't won a playoff game in over 20 years — but they still have great history nonetheless.
The Raiders own three Lombardi Trophies, all in an era that saw them completely dominate. When you factor in the total playoff appearances from the '60s-'80s, and the total AFC championship games, Super Bowl wins and many other great accomplishments, they are considered to be a mini-dynasty of that era. And, it helps that they have had some of the best players in the history of the NFL.
They have had great defensive players, great offensive players, iconic coaches and the most iconic owner of all time unless you'd put Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones above him. All of that makes a great recipe for a great franchise with great history.
And, once again, it all comes back to the players. Those players created huge rivalries, too. The AFC West, with teams like the Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, is one of the greatest divisions ever, with some of the best rivalries. Guys like Charles Woodson were made to hate those teams.
Well, at least we thought he was.
The Kansas City Chiefs are on their way to another Super Bowl. They have been labeled a dynasty and are trying to be the first team to ever three-peat.
Raiders fans don't really care about all of that. There is probably no team that the franchise hates more than the Chiefs.
Charles Woodson is rooting for the Chiefs. He tweeted out "A chance at 3 straight," with a hand-clapping emoji. In other words, he is rooting for the Chiefs to win.
A chance at 3 straight
