Raiders Legend George Atkinson Dies at 78, Raiders Owner Carol Davis Passes at 93

The Las Vegas Raiders mourn the recent loss of two significant figures: Carol Davis, the beloved co-owner and widow of Al Davis, and George Atkinson, a former Raiders safety and Super Bowl champion. Carol Davis, known as the 'first lady of Raider Nation,' passed at age 93, with the Raiders and NFL community expressing deep condolences, including tributes from players like Maxx Crosby and minority owner Tom Brady. George Atkinson, who played for the Raiders from 1968 to 1977 and was integral to their first Super Bowl victory, died at age 78. Atkinson was a two-time AFL All-Star, known for his hard-hitting play and mentorship, particularly to players like Maxx Crosby, and ranks fifth in franchise interceptions. His later years were marked by personal tragedy, with his sons diagnosed posthumously with CTE after their deaths. The Raiders honored both figures with heartfelt statements and memorial tributes, underscoring their lasting impact on the organization and its community.
