'80 Raiders were the first team to win a superbowl as a wildcard team
I've read they were nicknamed "the wild bunch"

 

[Spartacus]

Since the Wild-Card System began in 1970, only eight wild-card teams have advanced all the way to the Super Bowl. Of those, only four won the Super Bowl.


On March 29, 1978, the NFL adopted a new 16-game schedule preceded by a four-game preseason. An additional wild-card team in each conference was added to the playoffs with the two wild-cards squaring off during the first weekend of the post-season.


In 1990, two more wild-card teams were added to the mix. Primary reasons cited for the dramatic change in the playoff format included an increase in television revenue and to streamline a complex tiebreaking system. With a total of three wild-cards included in both the AFC and NFC, twelve of the league's 28 teams qualified for the playoffs.

Then, in 2002, when the league expanded to 32 teams, the NFL realigned into eight four-team divisions. A total of seven teams changed divisions with the Seattle Seahawks switching from the AFC to the NFC, where they first played in 1976

AFC Championship – at Pittsburgh Steelers – (W) – 24-21

Divisional Playoff – at Tennessee Titans – (W) – 24-10
AFC Championship – at Oakland Raiders – (W) – 16-3
Super Bowl XXXV – vs. New York Giants – (W) – 34-7

2005 Pittsburgh Steelers(11-5-0, 2nd Place, AFC North Division)
Wild-Card Playoff - at Cincinnati Bengals - (W) 31-17
Divisional Playoff - at Indianapolis Colts - (W) 21-18
AFC Championship - at Denver Broncos - (W) 34-17

17 years later the '97 broncos won it
so for almost 2 decades (since the '78 addition of a second wild card team in each conference)
the Raiders held the distinction of having been the only wildcard entry to win the big one
