The1962Oakland Raiders season was their third season inOakland and in theAmerican Football League, and their first atFrank Youell Field in Oakland, their home for four seasons.
Attempting to improve on their 2–12 record from theprevious season, the Raiders lost their first thirteen games and finally won in the season finale, a 20–0 shutout of the visitingBoston Patriots, a team with nine wins. The victory in the rain and mud snapped their nineteen-game losing streak.[1][2]
Oakland's .071 winning percentage remains the lowest in the ten-season history of the AFL. The Raiders did not return to the bottom of their division for over three decades, when they were an NFL team in the AFC West division in1995, the prologue of their second and last stint in Oakland.
This was the first season that the jerseys only featured the players' surname as opposed to their full name which had been used the previous two seasons.
