Super Bowl XI

Super Bowl XI, played on January 9, 1977, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, was a historic game that saw the Oakland Raiders claim their first-ever Super Bowl title, defeating the Minnesota Vikings 32-14. The Raiders, under head coach John Madden, established themselves as one of the NFL’s elite teams of the 1970s, while the Vikings, who had been to four Super Bowls in the past eight seasons, came up short once again in their quest for a championship.
