In 1976 the league expanded to 28 teams with the addition of the Seattle Seahawks and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This fulfilled one of the conditions agreed to in 1966 for the 1970 AFL-NFL Merger, which called for the league to expand to 28 teams by 1970 or soon thereafter. For this season only, the Seahawks played in the NFC West while the Buccaneers played in the AFC West. The Seahawks would return to the NFC West with the realignment prior to the 2002 season. The Buccaneers would set a record of futility, becoming the first NFL team to finish a season 0–14. The Buccaneers would go on to lose their first 26 games as a franchise before finally winning against the New Orleans Saints and St. Louis Cardinals to finish the 1977 season. 1976 was the year of the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders had been a terrific team ever since the late 1960's while still in the AFL. However, despite knocking on the door, there was always a team that was a little bit better, and so they were never able to capture an NFL Championship. In 1967, it was the Green Bay Packers, in 1972-1973 it was the Miami Dolphins, and in 1974-1975 it was the Pittsburgh Steelers. But, finally, in 1976 the Raiders were able to put it all together in Super Bowl XI with a convincing 32-14 thrashing of the Minnesota Vikings. The game was played on January 9, 1977, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. In Super Bowl XI, Oakland gained a Super Bowl record 429 yards, including a Super Bowl record 288 yards in the first half, en route to winning Super Bowl XI. After a scoreless first quarter, Oakland scored on three consecutive possessions to take a 16–0 lead at halftime. The Raiders also had two fourth quarter interceptions, including cornerback Willie Brown's 75-yard return for a touchdown. Oakland wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff, who had 4 catches for 79 yards that set up three Raider touchdowns, was named the Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player. Among the wide receivers who have won the Super Bowl MVP, Biletnikoff is the only one to not have gained 100 yards in his performance.
