The 1991 Los Angeles Raiders season was their 32nd in the National Football League (NFL). They were unable to improve upon their previous season's output of 12–4, winning only nine games. After a 9–4 start, the team lost its last three games but did qualify for the playoffs for the second straight season. The Raiders were inconsistent offensively, with struggling quarterback Jay Schroeder eventually benched in favor of rookie Todd Marinovich for both the regular season finale and the playoff game. Amidst a feud with owner Al Davis, future Hall of Famer Marcus Allen's role was restricted mainly to backing up newly acquired Roger Craig. Despite starting just one game, Tim Brown received his second Pro Bowl selection. This was the first season without Bo Jackson, who had suffered a career-ending injury the previous year. A solid defense was led by Howie Long, Greg Townsend (13 sacks) and Ronnie Lott (8 interceptions).[1]
