Houston Oilers Facing Rebuilding Year After 76 Hopes Fade
The Oilers, coming off a 10-4 season, slip into a losing rut blamed on injuries and Dan Pastorini's dissatisfaction. With Bud Phillips seeking fixes, the roster features Ken Bur rough and Billy Johnson as threats, a questioned offensive line, and a defense led by Curley Culp and Elvin Bethea. The team risks fourth place in the AFC Central as internal tensions mount and prospects hinge on new draft picks and healthier players.
