Сезон 1983 года стал для Los Angeles Raiders 14-м сезоном в Национальной футбольной лиге (НФЛ), 24-м сезоном в целом и вторым сезоном в Лос-Анджелесе. Команда начала с попытки улучшить свой результат 8–1 с 1982 года и выиграла Суперкубок в третий раз в истории франшизы. До победы Los Angeles Rams в Суперкубке LVI , Raiders 1983 года были единственной командой НФЛ, которая выиграла Суперкубок, базируясь в Лос-Анджелесе . Они стали второй командой в истории НФЛ, которая выиграла 3 Суперкубка, первой из которых была Steelers.
NFL Films выпустила документальный фильм о сезоне команды под названием « Просто победи, детка!» ; фильм был озвучен Джоном Фасендой , 16-м и последним фильмом о лучших моментах «Рэйдерс», озвученным Фасендой, который умер 26 сентября 1984 года. 24 ноября 2006 года NFL Network показала «Игру Америки: Чемпионы Суперкубка» , в котором «Рэйдерс» 1983 года заняли 20-е место; фильм был озвучен Алеком Болдуином и включал комментарии игроков Маркуса Аллена , Тодда Кристенсена и Хоуи Лонга .
Во время драфта «Рейдерс» попытались осуществить обмен тремя командами, который привел бы в Лос-Анджелес будущего квотербека Зала славы Джона Элвея , но этот обмен был заблокирован, и вместо этого Элвэй был выбран «Кольтс», за которые он отказался играть, а затем был обменян в «Бронкос». [4]

The Raiders scored 3 touchdowns in the third quarter en route to a 38–10 win over the Steelers. In the first quarter, Pittsburgh advanced on a 78-yard drive, but when faced with fourth down and inches near the goal line, they opted for kicker Gary Anderson's 17-yard field goal. But the Raiders controlled the rest of the game, as Lester Hayes returned an interception 18 yards for a touchdown. A 4-yard touchdown by running back Marcus Allen and a 45-yard field goal gave the Raiders a 17–3 lead. The Raiders then scored three touchdowns in the third period, including Allen's 49-yard run. Allen finished the game with 121 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns on just 13 carries, while also catching 5 passes for 38 yards. The Steelers' lone score in the second half was wide receiver John Stallworth's 58-yard touchdown reception.

Seattle had defeated Los Angeles twice during the regular season, but this game had a very different outcome.
The Raiders jumped to a 20–0 halftime lead en route to a 30–14 victory. The Seahawks were held to 65 rushing yards while Raiders Running back Marcus Allen ran for 154 yards, caught 7 passes for 62 yards, and scored 2 touchdowns. Lester Hayes' interception on Seattle's first drive of the game set up a 20-yard field goal. In the second quarter, Raiders running back Frank Hawkins then scored two touchdowns. In the second half, Seahawks starting quarterback Dave Krieg was benched and replaced by Jim Zorn. Zorn threw two touchdown passes, but it was not enough as Allen's 3-yard touchdown reception and another Raiders field goal put the game away. Seahawks running back Curt Warner, the AFC's leading rusher during the regular season, was held to just 26 yards on 11 carries.

Less than five minutes into the game, Derrick Jensen blocked Redskins Jeff Hayes punt and recovered the ball in the end zone to give the Raiders a 7–0 lead. On their ensuing drive, Washington was forced to punt, but Los Angeles punt returner Ted Watts muffed the kick and Washington safety Greg Williams recovered the ball at the Raiders 42-yard line. However, the Redskins could only advance to 27-yard line.
The Redskins regrouped in the second half, and scoring on their opening drive by marching 70 yards in 9 plays. First, Garrett returned the opening kickoff 35 yards from 5 yards deep in the end zone to the Washington 30-yard line. Then, Theismann completed a 23-yard pass to receiver Charlie Brown to the Raiders' 47-yard line. Eight plays later, fullback John Riggins finished the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. (Riggins became the second player to run for touchdowns in back-to-back Super Bowls. He had one in Super Bowl XVII en route to winning that game's Super Bowl MVP). Moseley's extra point attempt was blocked by Don Hasselbeck, but the Redskins had cut the score to 21–9 and were just 2 touchdowns away from taking the lead.
However, the Raiders completely took over the rest of the game, preventing any chance of a Washington comeback. On the ensuing drive, Washington defensive back Darrell Green was called for a 38-yard pass interference penalty while trying to cover Raiders receiver Malcolm Barnwell, setting up running back Marcus Allen's 5-yard touchdown run 7 plays later to make the score 28–9.
On the next Raiders possession, the last play of the third quarter, Plunkett handed the ball off to Allen, who started to run left. But then he saw a lot of defenders in front of him so he cut back to the middle and took off for a then Super Bowl record 74-yard touchdown run, increasing Los Angeles' lead to 35–9.
In the final period, the Raiders sacked Theismann 3 times, forcing him to fumble once, and intercepted a pass. Meanwhile, a 39-yard run from Allen set up a 21-yard field goal from kicker Chris Bahr to make the final score of the game 38–9.
