Oilers fail to surprise Rams as offense struggles
Houston, four days after relinquishing play calling to Sid Billman, used three wide receivers in a bid to spark the attack but produced limited results. Billy Parks led with seven receptions for the second straight week as Billy Parks, Dave Parks, Ken Burrough, and Eddie Hinton lined up. Coach Gillman conceded too much was tried, while Billy Parks moved into the team lead with 16 catches. We played well in spots but were erratic, and players vowed to rebound as they wait for the offense to explode.
