  • Tim Browns 74-yard punt return for a touchdown was the second time that he returned a punt for a touchdown during his career. He would only score one more time on a punt return and that would not occur again until 2001. During the season, Brown became the Raiders all-time leader in punt return yardage by surpassing Neal Colize. Brown would eventually run his career punt return total to 3,272 yards and 3 touchdowns and a 10.2 average.
  • Jeff Hostetler became just the third Raider ever to pass for 3,000 yards in one season. At that time the others were Daryle Lamonica and Ken Stabler. Only four Raider quarterbacks have passed for 3,000 yards or more as a Raider since Hostetler. This include Rich Gannon (four times), Kerry Collins (twice), Carson Palmer (once), and Jeff George (once). The 1993 playoffs also marked Hostetler's first and only loss as a playoff starter. Hostetler led the Giants to the Super Bowl championship in 1990 going 4–0 and the Raiders in 1993 with a 1–1 record. In five playoff games, he completed 72 of 115 passes (62.6 percent) for 1,034 yards, seven touchdowns, no interceptions, and a 112.0 passer rating while going 4–1.
