The 1986 season was marked by highly competitive games (only four of the Raiders' sixteen regular season games were decided by more than a touchdown). The campaign also marked the end of storied quarterback Jim Plunkett's career. After starting the season 0-3, the Raiders proceeded to win eight of their next nine games before losing their final four games to miss the playoffs.
