context_page_description: The 49ers–Raiders rivalry, once commonly known as the Battle of the Bay, was a professional American football rivalry between the National Football League's San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders. This rivalry is unique in that both teams are members of different conferences within the NFL and have never met in a postseason game, and it made the rivalry only geographic at the time when the Raiders were located in Oakland, as only 27 miles across San Francisco Bay separated Levi's Stadium, home of the 49ers, and RingCentral Coliseum, home of the Raiders while located in Oakland. The geographic aspect of the rivalry ended in 2020, when the Raiders relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada.
  As of 2019, the San Francisco 49ers are in the NFC West division, while the Las Vegas Raiders are in the AFC West division. As a result, the two teams only meet in the regular season once every four years according to the NFL's current scheduling formula. The two teams also met occasionally in the preseason until 2011, when a fight between 49ers and Raiders fans in the parking lot of Candlestick Park escalated into a shooting, prompting the NFL to indefinitely ban all preseason games between the two teams.
context_section_description: On October 17, 2010, the 49ers defeated the Raiders 17–9, giving them their first win of the season after a 5-game losing streak. Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell was held to just 83 yards passing. In 2012, the 49ers under Colin Kaepernick lost Super Bowl XLVII to the Baltimore Ravens, with Kaepernick becoming permanent starter after Alex Smith suffered a concussion in Week 10.
  On December 7, 2014, the Derek Carr-led Raiders broke their three-game losing streak against the 49ers with a 24–13 win at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
  On November 1, 2018, the 49ers, led by practice squad quarterback Nick Mullens, defeated the Raiders by a score of 34-3, ending a six game losing streak. Mullens, who had his NFL debut, previously played and provided a game-winning touchdown in a preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. This game concluded the "Battle of the Bay," the nickname for the geographical rivalry.
