1963 Oakland Raiders season


The 1963 Oakland Raiders season was the team's fourth in Oakland. The campaign saw the team attempt to improve upon its abysmal 1962 record of 1–13.
In his first year with the organization, Raiders legend Al Davis, formerly a receivers coach with the San Diego Chargers, replaced the team's original gold and black uniforms with the current "silver and black" scheme. Under his leadership as head coach and general manager, the Raiders stunned the rest of the AFL by winning ten games. They finished with a record of 10–4, which was good for second place in the Western Division, one game behind the [1963 American Football League Championship Game|eventual American Football League|AFL champion] Chargers, whom they had defeated twice. The Raiders swept the Western division in 1963, winning all six games. Prior to the final game of the season, for his role in the Raiders' miraculous turnaround, Al Davis was named the AFL Coach of the Year.
