Super Bowl XV

Super Bowl XV, played on January 25, 1981, at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, saw the Oakland Raiders defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-10, becoming the first Wild Card team in NFL history to win the Super Bowl. The Raiders’ victory was a testament to opportunistic defense, a sharp passing attack, and the steady leadership of quarterback Jim Plunkett, who completed one of the most remarkable career turnarounds in NFL history.
