The Seattle Seahawks made their first playoff appearance in 1983, and after defeating the Denver Broncos in the wildcard, and the Miami Dolphins in the divisional, they were tasked with going up against the Los Angeles Raiders in the AFC Championship.[4] The Raiders would win this matchup 30-14, and would go on to win their third Super Bowl in franchise history that year.[5]

Twenty-nine years after an innocuous start, no other team evokes the emotions in the Seahawks and their fans that the Raiders do. This holds true, even though the two teams no longer play in the same division and don't meet twice a season, as they did for a quarter century.
