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.

Sunday marks the just second time the Raiders have played a regular-season game in Seattle in 16 years, a fact that only accentuates how visits from the Silver and Black used to be a highlight — if not THE highlight — of every Seahawk season.
