The Oakland Raiders begin the 2016 regular season this weekend as they take on the New Orleans Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday, Sept. 11 at 10:00 a.m. PT. Sunday’s game marks the first time the team has opened on the road against an NFC opponent since 1999 when they opened up with the Packers in Green Bay. The Raiders and Saints have also never faced each other in a season opener. Coupled with next week’s contest at home against the Atlanta Falcons, Oakland will open with two NFC opponents for the first time since 1999, when they opened with the Packers and Minnesota Vikings.
