Before Super Bowl LVIII, a significant ceremony took place at Allegiant Stadium, where Fred Biletnikoff (SB XI), Jim Plunkett (SB XV), and Marcus Allen (SB XVIII), the MVPs from the Raiders' three Super Bowl victories, lit the Al Davis Memorial Torch. This event was not only a tribute to the late Al Davis but also served as a moment of Raiders' pride ahead of the game. The ceremony, which included the playing of 'The Autumn Wind', drew curious looks from the 49ers and KC Chiefs crowd, highlighting a unique blend of sports history and present competition.
