The 1994 Houston Oilers season was the 35th season overall and 25th with the league.[1]

Despite finishing with a 12-4 record and a first round bye the previous season, the 1994 Oilers crashed to a 2-14 season, which tied their 1983 season as the team's fewest wins in a sixteen game season. The ten-game swing is the worst season-to-season drop in games won in NFL history.

Seven of their fourteen losses came by three points or fewer.

Offseason[]

After having imploded in the playoffs against Kansas City in the 1993 playoffs, the Oilers traded long-time quarterback Warren Moon to Minnesota, leaving Cody Carlson as the starter for the 1994 season.
