Photos from the Raiders vs Titans all-time series.
The Oakland Raiders head to Music City for a Week 12 clash with the Tennessee Titans at the newly named Nissan Stadium in Nashville. It'll almost be like facing the Pittsburgh Steelers with the Titans featuring Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt and new defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau. Whisenhunt was the offensive coordinator for Pittsburgh while LeBeau served as defensive coordinator.
As of this writing, former Oregon quarterback, Marcus Mariota, the No. 2 overall selection in the 2015 NFL Draft, has not yet signed his rookie contract.
One of the best moments of the last 15 years for the Raiders came in the 2002 AFC Championship Game when the Silver and Black came from behind to defeat the Titans 41-24 and earn a trip to Super Bowl XXXVII. The series has an interesting history. The Titans franchise originated as the Houston Oilers in the American Football League in 1960.
