1991 Los Angeles Raiders season

NFL team season December 2013 March 2026 Los Angeles Raiders 1991 9–7 3rd AFC West Al Davis Al Davis Art Shell Terry Robiskie Dave Adolph L.A. Memorial Coliseum Lost Wild Card Playoffs(at Chiefs) 6–10 Raiders seasons The 1991 Los Angeles Raiders season was their 32nd in the National Football League (NFL). They were unable to improve upon their previous season's output of 12–4, winning only nine games. After a 9–4 start, the team lost its last three games but did qualify for the playoffs for the second straight season. The Raiders were inconsistent offensively, with struggling quarterback Jay Schroeder eventually benched in favor of rookie Todd Marinovich for both the regular season finale and the playoff game. Amidst a feud with owner Al Davis, future Hall of Famer Marcus Allen's role was restricted mainly to backing up newly acquired Roger Craig. Despite starting just one game, Tim Brown received his second Pro Bowl selection. This was the first season without Bo Jackson, who had suffered a career-ending injury the previous year. A solid defense was led by Howie Long, Greg Townsend (13 sacks) and Ronnie Lott (8 interceptions).1991 Los Angeles Raiders Offseason NFL draft 1991 NFL draft 1991 Los Angeles Raiders 1 24 Todd Marinovich Quarterback USC yes 2 43 Nick Bell Running back Iowa yes 4 100 Raghib Ismail Wide receiver Notre Dame yes 6 146 Nolan Harrison Defensive tackle Indiana yes no no Staff 1991 Los Angeles Raiders President of the General Partner – Al Davis Director of Football Operations – Steve Ortmayer Senior Executive – John Herrera Head coach – Art Shell Offense – Tom Walsh Quarterbacks – Mike White Offensive backs – Joe Scannella Tight ends – Terry Robiskie Wide receivers – Fred Biletnikoff Offensive line – Kim Helton Defense/Linebackers – Dave Adolph Defensive line – Earl Leggett Linebackers – Gunther Cunningham Defensive backs – Odis McKinney Defensive backs – Jack Stanton Special teams – Steve Ortmayer Strength and conditioning – Todd Sperber Strength and conditioning – Doug Wilkerson Roster 1991 Los Angeles Raiders 11 Vince Evans 12 Todd Marinovich y 13 Jay Schroeder 32 Marcus Allen 38 Nick Bell American football y 22 Roger Craig American football 41 Napoleon McCallum 35 Steve Smith running back FB 81 Tim Brown American football PR 86 Mervyn Fernandez 83 Willie Gault 85 Sam Graddy KR 82 Jamie Holland KR 87 Andrew Glover y 88 Ethan Horton 73 James FitzPatrick American football G/T 77 Reggie McElroy G 65 Max Montoya G 72 Don Mosebar C 68 Bruce Wilkerson T 76 Steve Wisniewski G 66 Steve Wright American football, born 1959 T 70 Scott Davis defensive lineman DT 79 Bob Golic DT 74 Nolan Harrison y DE 61 Roy Hart gridiron football DT 75 Howie Long DE 94 Anthony Smith defensive end DE/DT 93 Greg Townsend DE 58 Thomas Benson American football OLB 50 Riki Ellison MLB 52 Mike Jones linebacker y MLB 99 Winston Moss OLB 57 Jerry Robinson linebacker OLB 51 Aaron Wallace OLB 33 Eddie Anderson safety FS 23 Derrick Crudup FS 46 Torin Dorn CB 25 Dan Land CB/S 21 Garry Lewis football CB 42 Ronnie Lott SS 36 Terry McDaniel CB 43 Elvis Patterson SS 48 Lionel Washington CB  7 Jeff Gossett P 18 Jeff Jaeger K 67 Dan Turk LS 84 Mike Dyal TE PUP 60 Rory Graves T IR 58 A.
