The Oilers won three of their first four games, which was capped by a 27–10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Astrodome.
However, injuries would hamper the Oilers chances as they lost five of their next six games.
The team improved upon their previous season's output of 5–9, winning eight games,[1] but failed to qualify for the playoffs for the eighth consecutive season.
