The1968 Oakland Raiders season was theRaiders' ninth season in bothOakland and theAmerican Football League. It saw the team try to improve upon its 13–1 record from 1967. They ultimately finished one game short of matching that year's result; their 12–2 finish still ensured that they would lead the league in wins for a second consecutive year. Led by third-year head coachJohn Rauch, they tied with Kansas City for the division title,[1][2] which was settled by an unscheduled tiebreaker playoff, won 41–6 by the Raiders in Oakland.[3]

The season featured a growing rivalry between the Raiders and theNew York Jets, led by fourth-year superstar quarterbackJoe Namath. The teams met twice in 1968: the first was on November 17 in Oakland, which saw the Raiders complete a stunning fourth-quarter comeback over the Jets, scoring two touchdowns in nine seconds.[4] Known today as theHeidi Game,[5] it remains one of the most famous in AFL/NFL history. They paired up six weeks later in theAFL Championship Game in New York, where Namath's Jets emerged victorious in a 27–23 upset on December 29.[6] Two weeks later, the Jets upset theBaltimore Colts inSuper Bowl III.

The 1968 season is also notable for a few changes to the team including the additions ofGeorge Atkinson,Art Shell, andKen Stabler. All three won a championship with the Raiders eight years later inSuper Bowl XI. Additionally, Shell in 1989, and Stabler in 2016, were both inducted into thePro Football Hall of Fame.
