I struggle to think of a smoother looking pick than Spillane's — few things better than a backer perfectly jumping the route going in the other direction.

But off the top of my head, the best picks that come to mind recently are:

Erik Harris to seal the win against the colts: https://www.nfl.com/videos/raiders-first-int-of-19-is-pick-six-from-erik-harris

Daryl Worley was a terrible CB but probably the most remarkable INT ive ever seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbEj_r3NgB0

Jeff Heath picking Mahomes : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53fPEJb1awo

I think Tory James had a big pick 6 against the dolphins in the playoffs in the 90s that i quasi remember.

It was the 2000 season

Woodson in the Super Bowl. I was at Qualcomm and I would have bet it all at that moment that it was going to happen.

Charles Woodson against Peyton Manning in 2015

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I feel like I always comment when this is brought up but it’s so memorable to me this is definitely my pick.

Went to this game on my honeymoon for my one and only Raiders home game and one and only visit to California. The loss is irrelevant because witnessing this momentous occasion made it all the more worth it and the vibes at the Coliseum were immaculate 🤌🏼☠️

CWood's fist career pick six with the basketball-dribble celebration as he approached the end zone, 1998 against Arizona

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lots of great ones in here. I'll add when Charles snagged 2 off Manning after an entire week of the media pointing out CW never picked him off.

This has to be #1 in my mind. This was supposed to be a one sided game. Very few thought the Raiders could win.

Trying to think of some of the others not listed.

- RIP DJ Hayden but I remember in that game when CWood finally picked off Manning he absolutely wiped Hayden out to make the INT on the 2nd one.

- Also the Jeff Heath interception against Mahomes in that KC beatdown that basically sealed that game.

Mike Davis picking off Brian Sipe in 1980

Red Right 88

Brian Sipe forced a pass to tight end Ozzie Newsome which was intercepted in the end zone by Raiders safety Mike Davis, who had cut in front of Newsome's square-out pass route, putting an end to the Browns' season. Oakland subsequently advanced to the AFC conference championship, where they defeated the San Diego Chargers and went on to win Super Bowl XV against the Philadelphia Eagles.

No. 2, Jack Squirek in the Super Bowl against Washington Redskins

No. 3, Willie Brown Superbowl against Minnesota Vikings

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Great choices, I wasn’t alive then, but I grew up on NFL films and occasionally watch those old game🏴‍☠️

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The Browns had 15 yards to go with a minute or so remaining, down by 2. I thought it was over, they were going to run 2x and then kick a chip shot field goal with little time remaining. This was the first wild card team to win the super bowl. Without this happening, there would have been no super bowl.

Carr’s pick 6 vs Steelers 2006

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My father is a Steeler fan and we were sitting on that side of the endzone, definitely my personal favorite interception

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The answer is the texans pick afer Al died with 10 on the field, but I've always been partial to the Amerson pick 6

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

ToryJames' pick 6 of Jay Fielder in the divisional round of the 2000/01 playoffs will always be my favorite. Happened on the opening drive & set the tone for the rest of the game. The Coliseum absolutely exploded

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Khalil Mack on Cam Newton was the highest I've ever been on this franchise.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My favorite raider game ever.

First game that I got to sit in the black hole, raiders vs dolphins in the 2000 playoffs divisional round. Tory James picks it off and runs 90 yards for the TD and the dolphins didn’t get close to scoring again, lost 27-0.

Still think I have hearing damage from that game. But it was fucking worth it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Phillip Buchanon pick 6 on the 1st play on Daunte Culpepper in 2003. It was my 1st ever game with my Step-dad (Broncos fan), he wore a Raiders jacket for the game so I'd have a good time. Hand down my favorite Raiders memory

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Spillane literally caught it with a broken hand and a club on lol badass

Maybe not the greatest, but the most memorable of recent times.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How anyone is saying anything other than the interception after Al Davis’s death is beyond me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Came here to say Michael Huff. I was living in Houston at the time, and there were three of us in the bar surrounded by Texans fans. To say it was bittersweet is an understatement. I’ll never forget it as long as I live. It was the first one that immediately came to mind.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right? Huff vs Texans with only 10 men on the field. Al being the 11th.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I like that! 😇

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lester "the molester" Hayes, #37, 39 picks, 4 pick-sixes. Props to Spillane!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Jack Squirek. I went nuts as a kid because that Redskins team was supposed to be so dominant and the Raiders clobbered them.

Rod Woodson pick six to save the season against the donkeys

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Came here to say this

Charles picking off Manning twice in the same game

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rod Woodsons 98 yard pick six against the broncos on Monday night football 2002. It was my first time attending a Raiders game. I was 12 and went into Mile High in head to toe Raiders gear with my bronco loving stepdad🤣 We crushed them, and it gave me shit talking ammo for days!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Will never forget how gassed Rod was after that

And I think Rod Smith nearly caught him

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Chris Carr 100 yard pick 6 vs the Steelers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Rod Woodson vs Denver

Eric Allen vs Pitt

Chris Carr vs Pitt

Michael Huff vs texans

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was at that Colts game, and that interception was just what the doctor ordered. Colts were not going away. That was Harris’s second pick of the game and the Raider crowd WENT OFF! So exciting. Walking the concourses afterward with the Raiders chant ringing loud was so satisfying.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lester Hayes 20 yard pick six when the Raiders beat the Oilers on the way to their second Super Bowl. Before the game Hayes said something like, "Ken Stabler (who was playing for the Oilers at the time) throws the prettiest sideline out—and if he tries that shit on Sunday I'll pick it off."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Michael Huff, back of the endzone to seal a win the game after Al died.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Al Davis death one duh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

David Amerson picked off Alex Smith and ran it in for a touchdown back in January of 2016. The announcers were making a big deal out of Smith’s streak of games without throwing an interception, and Amerson pointed at him while he ran by him towards the end zone.

That one stuck with me. Good times.

Chandler Jones vs Pats

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

DJ Hayden had a game sealing int his rookie season, his career didn’t pan out the way he probably wanted but once a raiders always a raiders RIP 🙏🏼

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

amil robertsons game sealing int against the wackers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

List division game in the Colosseum against the Chargers. Our defense was probably worse than last year. I can't remember the guy's name but he had 2 picks including the game sealing one with 2 minutes left. I sat in row 10 of the black hole and crossed one item off my bucket list.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Zach Wilson to Spillane

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Erik Harris picked off Phillip Rivers 3 times on TNF one time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

-Mack pick 6 at home vs Panthers ( I was in the black hole and called for a big play from Mack but was so excited I recorded the ground with my old phone 😅). -Conley picking off the Bears in London (that was one epic night at the stadium and the bar afterwards). -Woodson double picks last year vs Manning

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Huff vs the Texans for all is the goat

Honorable mentions to Khalil Mack on Newton, and Philip Buchanon snatching one off Steve McNair which was nothing special just a great memory for me as a kid.
