The Raiders finished the season 12–4 (the best record in the Gruden era), winning the AFC West and advancing to the AFC Championship Game for the first time since 1990. They returned to the playoffs for the first time since 1993, when the team was still in Los Angeles.History: NFL Football – Oakland Raiders The Divisional Round playoff game versus the Miami Dolphins would be their first home playoff game in Oakland since defeating the Houston Oilers in the 1980 AFC Wild Card Playoffs. This was the first of three consecutive AFC West titles for the Raiders. As the No. 2 seed in the AFC, the Raiders received a bye into the divisional round of the playoffs. Their four regular season losses were by a combined 16 points. The Raiders held the Miami Dolphins scoreless, winning 27–0. The following week against the eventual Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship, starting quarterback Rich Gannon sustained a shoulder injury after being hit by Baltimore's Tony Siragusa early in the second quarter. The loss of Gannon was too steep to overcome as the Raiders lost 16–3. Siragusa was later fined $10,000 for the hit.Siragusa Fined for Hit on Gannon The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/2001/01/19/siragusa-fined-for-hit-on-gannon/3c19a6bf-f0db-435b-805c-a85c5cd91dac/ This was the NFL-record ninth playoff loss in Raiders history with a Super Bowl berth at stake (since tied by the San Francisco 49ers in 2013). The Raiders set a still-standing franchise record for most points scored in the regular season, with 479.https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rai/ Las Vegas/Oakland/LA Raiders Team Encyclopedia Pro-Football-Reference.com The season was also the first for kicker Sebastian Janikowski. He would play 276 games in the regular season and playoffs as a Raider, a franchise record.
