The club's second season in the largest city in California and posting a 12-4 record, the Los Angeles Raiders completed the 1983 NFL season in first place in the AFC West. After defeating Pittsburgh in the Divisional series and Seattle in the AFC Championship, the Raiders met the defending champion Washington Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII. Building a commanding 21-3 lead at the half, the Raiders would add an additional 17 points in the second and third quarters for a decisive 38-9 victory. This remains the most points scored by an AFC team in the Super Bowl. Marcus Allen would be just the third Heisman Trophy winner to be named Super Bowl MVP, carrying the ball 20 times for a then-record of 191 yards with two touchdowns, including a then-record 74-yard run in the third quarter. Super Bowl XVIII also served as the only time a Los Angeles team won the championship until the cross-town rival Los Angeles Rams captured Super Bowl LVI.
We offer Greg Pruitt's 1983 Los Angeles Raiders Super Bowl XVIII championship gold and diamond ring. NOTE - Pruitt lost the original ring presented, with this specimen an authentic replacement produced through the club. It is identical to the original, with just the Lenox stamping missing from the inner band. Size 10 with an approx weight of 44 grams, the white gold keepsake features a trio of oval bezels over the tableau encrusted with diamonds, with an additional five diamonds flanking each side of the perimeter. "Los Angeles Raiders" appears above in raised letters, with "World Champions" below. The right shank sports "Pruitt above and "1983" below, with a Raiders logo centered between, while the left shank features "Super Bowl XVIII" above and "1983" below, along with the score of the championship between. Regarding condition, there is minor wear including scratches to the band and shanks, with the gorgeous prize displaying brilliantly.
