Series History

This week’s game will mark the third international regular season game for the Patriots after playing in 2009 and 2012 in London. In 2009, the Patriots beat Tampa Bay, 35-7 in London and in 2012 the Patriots beat the Rams 45-7 in London.

The Patriots and Raiders last played against each other on Sept. 21, 2014 in a 16-9 New England victory at Gillette Stadium.

The teams have met three times in the playoffs, producing memorable, classic encounters on each occasion. In 1976 the Patriots beat the Raiders 48-17 in the regular season before losing a playoff game at Oakland, 24-21. The Patriots advanced to their first AFC Championship game in 1985 after beating the Raiders, 27-20, in Los Angeles. Then in the first Super Bowl championship year in 2001, the Patriots beat Oakland, 16-13, in overtime in the last game ever played in Foxboro Stadium.

The Patriots lead the all-time series with a 18-15-1 advantage, including a 2-1 postseason record.

The Raiders have had the edge in home games against the Patriots as they own a 10-7 record when the two teams square off on the west coast. The series between the two charter members of the American Football League dates back to 1960, the inaugural season for each club.

Although the teams played frequently prior to the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, they have met just four times in the regular-season since 1989.
