The 1991 Los Angeles Raiders, coached by Art Shell, enjoyed a winning season with a 9-7 record and secured their second consecutive playoff berth. The team featured a formidable defense led by future Hall of Famers Howie Long and Ronnie Lott, alongside Greg Townsend who recorded 13 sacks. Despite an inconsistent offense, the Raiders showcased great resilience by starting the season 9-4, including a notable four-game winning streak and a shutout victory over the Colts. Under the veteran leadership of Al Davis, the squad remained a competitive force in the AFC West, ultimately participating in a hard-fought Wild Card matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
