NFL Films: NFL 1975- Houston Oilers @ Cleveland Browns: Highlights


Source:NFL Films- the Houston Oilers vs the Cleveland Browns, at Cleveland from 1975.

"1975 Oilers at Browns Game 4" 

From Comrade Dobler

The Oilers become winners again under Bum Phillips in 1975. 

1975 was Forrest Gregg's first year in Cleveland and he didn't have a good team at all. When you are in the 20s both on offense and defense as far as rankings, you are only scoring 15 points a game and giving up 25, you are going to lose 11-14 games or perhaps have a worst record than that. 

The Browns did improve in 1976 going 9-5 under Forrest Gregg and just missing the AFC Playoffs. But he just didn't have the personal that he needed to compete in the tough AFC Central that not only had the Pittsburgh Steelers who won that division, but the Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Oilers who were both winners that year as well.
