So, How Many Super Bowls Did the Las Vegas Raiders Actually Win? Asking for a Friend (Probably Carr)
Let's face it, Raider Nation is a passionate bunch. Silver and black runs deep, and boasting rights are a way of life. But when it comes to Super Bowl wins, things can get a little...foggy. Especially for those new fans who haven't witnessed the glory days firsthand (or maybe haven't gotten a good explanation between enthusiastic high-fives). So, buckle up and raise the pirate flag, because we're diving into the end zone of Raider history.

Breaking it Down: The Land of Three Lombardis
The Official Tally: Here's the bottom line: The Las Vegas Raiders, previously the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders depending on the era, have three shiny Super Bowl trophies sitting proudly in their collection. That's right, folks, THREE. Not two, not four, but a solid three.
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
The Championship Years: Let's take a victory lap down memory lane, shall we? We've got Super Bowl XI (1976), XV (1980), and XVIII (1983). Each win a testament to Raider grit, cunning play calls (courtesy of the legendary Al Davis, "Just Win, Baby!"), and enough swagger to fill a pirate ship.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
Wait, Wasn't There More? The Pre-Super Bowl Puzzle Piece
Now, here's where things get interesting. The Raiders were originally part of the American Football League (AFL) before the historic AFL-NFL merger in 1970. Back in those pre-Super Bowl days, the AFL had its own championship game. And guess who won the AFL championship in 1967? You guessed it, the Raiders! While this win technically wasn't a Super Bowl victory, Raider Nation still holds it dear. Consider it a fantastic pre-Super Bowl appetizer.
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
