The Raiders–Seahawks rivalry is an American football rivalry in the National Football League (NFL) between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Seattle Seahawks. The teams were AFC West divisional rivals from 1977 until 2001, after which the Seahawks moved to the NFC West.

Notable events

1983 AFC Championship Game

The Seattle Seahawks made their first playoff appearance in 1983, and after defeating the Denver Broncos in the wildcard, and the Miami Dolphins in the divisional, they were tasked with going up against the Los Angeles Raiders in the AFC Championship.[1] The Raiders would win this matchup 30-14, and would go on to win their third Super Bowl in franchise history that year.[2]
