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
Kwiatkoski’s one hander against Denver https://www.raiders.com/video/nick-kwiatkoski-intercepts-drew-lock-to-finalize-win-over-denver
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.
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.
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.
CWood’s fist career pick six with the basketball-dribble celebration as he approached the end zone, 1998 against Arizona
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.
Khalil Mack on Cam Newton was the highest I’ve ever been on this franchise.
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.
Rod Woodson vs Denver
Eric Allen vs Pitt
Chris Carr vs Pitt
Michael Huff vs texans
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 🙏🏼
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.
Zach Wilson to Spillane
-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
“There goes Harris and there go the Colts”
Rod Woodson pick six to save the season against the donkeys
