The 2001 Oakland Raiders season was the club’s 42nd season and 32nd in the National Football League. The club acquired wide receiver Jerry Rice through Free Agency. Rice excelled with his new team catching 83 passes for 1139 yards and 9 touchdowns. The Raiders would qualify for the postseason but lose to the eventual Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots in a divisional playoff. It would be head coach Jon Gruden’s final season with Oakland.
