1975 Houston Oilers season
The 1975 Houston Oilers season was the team's 16th year, and sixth in the National Football League.
Although Houston's 10-4 record did allow them to make the playoffs in a strong AFC Central division, it was a three-win improvement over their previous season, and the franchise's best record since 1962.
