Raiders have had to accept this for years. Coaches and players come and go but the team almost always finishes as the most penalized team in the NFL. They own the records for most penalties in a season, most penalty yards in a season, most penalties in a game, etc. It's not like they have been some dirty or smash mouth team either. There seems to be a bit of a bias when officials see black and silver jerseys. It's basically been the Wideman effect for decades.
