Tributes to Carol Davis, the First Lady of Raider Nation, and George Atkinson, the heart of the Soul Patrol secondary, filled Allegiant Stadium on Sunday as part of the Raiders' game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Davis, the mother of Raiders Owner Mark Davis and wife of Hall of Famer Al Davis who passed away Oct. 24 at the age of 93, was honored with a pregame homage while Atkinson, who died Oct. 27 at 78, received an in-game accolade.
With photos of her being shown on the stadium's big screens, the following was read: "Mrs. Davis was a cornerstone of the Raiders for seven decades and was there every step of the way – from dominance in three Super Bowl victories to improbable triumphs. As the matriarch of the Silver and Black and friend to all who knew and loved her, Carol's indomitable spirit and compassion will never be forgotten. If Al Davis was the heart of the Raiders, Carol was the soul."
A moment of "silent reflection" was then held for Mrs. Davis, who was the first person to light the Al Davis Torch at Allegiant Stadium in 2020 and whose photo of the event was on the cover of Sunday's gameday magazine.
