Raiders Who Have Gone to the SB: Phillip Dorsett
The Las Vegas Raiders have added much championship experience to their roster this offseason.
Most of the winning experience on the Raiders' roster comes from those who were with Coach Josh McDaniels as members of the New England Patriots.
New Raiders wide receiver Phillip Dorsett is all too familiar with what it takes to be the last team standing.
He's seen both sides of it, having lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII, to turn around and win Super Bowl LIII against the Los Angeles Rams the following year.
Dorsett made some vital contributions to the Patriots' postseason run in the year of Super Bowl LII.
After having not played in the divisional round against the Tennessee Titans, the wideout converted on a crucial 31-yard reception as part of New England's fourth-quarter comeback against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Championship Game.
In Super Bowl LII, Dorsett would record a 19-yard reception right before halftime.
New England ultimately fell to Philadelphia, 41-33.
Dorsett would have a more prominent role the following season, making four starts and registering 397 receiving yards and five touchdowns, compared to his two starts, 290 receiving yards, and two touchdowns the season before.
This carried over to the postseason, where Dorsett totaled 70 receiving yards and two touchdowns throughout the Patriots' three playoff games.
Against the Los Angeles Chargers in the divisional round, the wide receiver finished with 41 receiving yards and a touchdown that gave New England a two-possession lead in the second quarter.
Dorsett then collected 29 receiving yards and another touchdown in the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs. That touchdown gave the Patriots a 14-0 lead right before halftime.
New England won overtime, 37-31, advancing to its third-straight Super Bowl appearance.
Dorsett took the field for 26 offensive snaps in Super Bowl LIII but did not finish with any receptions.
The Patriots won, 13-3, earning their sixth and most recent Super Bowl title in franchise history.
