Victims of the Fourth Reich

 

 

The 1992 Oilers continued the success of the recent past as they made the playoffs for the sixth straight season, something no other team was able to accomplish between '87 and '92.  They boasted the top defensive unit in the AFC in terms of yards and points allowed.  The defense allowed just 6 rushing touchdowns during the season and did not allow a 100-yards receiving to any receiver.  The defense sent two players to the Pro Bowl: Defensive tackle Ray Childress, who led the team in sacks with 13 and run stuffing middle linebacker Al Smith started in the game.  Right defensive end Sean Jones finished third on the Oilers with 8.5 sacks and played in all 16 games for the ninth straight season.  Left defensive end William Fuller finished the season with 8 sacks in spite of an early season holdout.  Lee Williams did not start, but finshed second on the squad with 11 sacks.  Starting linebacker Lamar Lathon continued his rapid improvement in his third season and Eddie Robinson unseated Johnny Meads as the other starting outside linebacker as a rookie.  Cornerback Jerry Gray came over from the Rams and led the Oilers with 6 interceptions.  The other cornerback Cris Dishman showed flashes of greatness as well as stupidity.  Marcus Robinson did an admirable job of replacing Bo Orlando at free safety after Bo's injury and Bubba McDowell gave the Oilers some solid play at strong safety. 

 

 

 

 

 

The Oilers led the AFC in passing for the third straight year thanks in large part to trigger man Warren Moon and the wide open Run & Shoot offensive attack.  Moon led the AFC in passer rating with an 89.3 rating.  He completed 64.7% of his throws for 2,521 yards and 18 TD's against 12 interceptions.  Moon's backup, Cody Carlson finished 5th in the AFC in passer rating with 81.2 and led the Oilers to a 4-2 mark in Moon's absence.  He completed 65.6% of his passes and threw 9 TD's. The one draw back was the fact that he threw more interceptions (11) than touchdowns.  The Oilers boasted three of the AFC's top six receivers in terms of receptions.  Wide receiver Haywood Jeffires led the AFC with 90 receptions for 913 yards and 9 TD's.  WR Curtis Duncan finished second in the AFC in both receptions (82) and receiving yards (954) and he added a touchdown.  WR Ernest Givins led the Oilers with 10 touchdowns receiving. He caught 67 balls for 787 yards.  Webster Slaughter was brought in at about midseason to give the Oilers a very dependable fourth WR and he caught 39 passes for 486 yards and 4 TD's in 12 games.  Halfback Lorenzo White came out of the backfield to catch 57 passes for 641 yards and a score.  He was also the third leading rusher in the AFC with 1,226 yards and 7 TD's on the ground.  He averaged 4.6 yards per carry.  White was instrumental in making the Oilers the third best rushing team in NFL in terms of yards per rush.  The offensive line sent two players to the Pro Bowl, guard Mike Munchak and center Bruce Matthews.  Completing the O-line are tackles Doug Dawson and David Williams and right guard Don Maggs.  Rookie John Flannery was also impressive in a reserve role.  Moon, White, Duncan, and Givins also earned Pro Bowl honors.

 

 

Punter Greg Montgomery led the NFL with a 46.0 gross punting average and finished fourth in the AFC in net average with 37.3.  Kicker Al Del Greco made 21 of 27 FG's.  The return game was dreadful with Slaughter finishing last among AFC qualifiers with a 7.1 punt return average.  No Oilers had enough kickoff returns to qualify for the league lead.  Pat Coleman was the top return man with 14 returns and a 20.7-yard average.

 

After a season opening loss to Pittsburgh, the Oilers rattled off four straight wins by beating Indy, Kansas City in overtime, San Diego, and Cincinnati.  The Oilers visited Denver the following week to try to shake off the sting of their bitter playoff loss after the 1991 season and were unable to do so as they lost 27-24.  The Oilers would complete a season sweep of Cincinnati with a 26-10 victory the following week.  The Oilers traveled to Pittsburgh to face an energized squad guided by their rookie head coach Bill Cowher.  The Steelers were able to pull out a 21-20 victory and the Oilers fell to 5-3.  The Oilers were unable to recover the following week as they lost yet again: this time to Cleveland at home by a 24-14 score.  The Oilers prevailed in Minnesota the following week 17-13.  The roller coaster season continued with a 19-16 loss at Miami.  The Oilers would regain their momentum late in the season with wins in four of their last five games.  The first win came in Detroit on Thanksgiving (24-21), followed by a 24-7 thumping of Chicago at Soldier Field.  The final loss of the regular season came at home to Green Bay 16-14.  The Oilers would get their revenge at Cleveland the following Sunday with a 17-14 victory.  The Oilers needed a win at home against Buffalo to advance to the postseason and they would get it as they won by a dominating 27-3 score.  Ironically, the Oilers would have go up to Buffalo to play in the Wildcard game the following Sunday to try and knock off the Bills two weeks in a row. 

 

 

 

The playoffs for Houston would begin on a cloudy 45 degree day in Orchard Park, NY against the Bills.  The 75,141 fans in attendance were stunned to see the Bills completely dissected by the Houston offense in the first half.  Warren Moon completed 17 of 21 passes for 220 yards and 4 TD's in just the first half!  The Oilers led 28-3 at halftime.  The second half would begin the same the first half ended.  This time, however, the defense got into the act as Bubba McDowell returned an interception 58 yards for the fifth Oiler touchdown of the day just 1:41 into the half.  Even though Buffalo QB Frank Reich led his Maryland Terrapins back from a 31-0 deficit to beat Miami in his college days, no one thought he could lead the Bills back, even the most supportive fans left the stadium in droves.  Reich and the Bills drove down the field and scored on a 1 yard Kenneth Davis plunge to trim the lead to 35-10.  Steve Christie kicked an onside kick that he recovered so the Bills got the ball back.  The Bills turned it into 7 more points as Reich fired a pass down the left sideline, which was caught by Don Beebe and he ran it in for another touchdown.  The lead was down to 18.  The Bills switched from a dime defense to a 3-4, which confused Moon and the Oiler offense.  The Bills continued to come back as Reich completed a 26 yard pass to Andre Reed for a touchdown to make it 35-24. Faced with a 4th down and 5, Reich and Reed hooked up again for a TD, this one came from 18 yards out and the Bills were within 4 points of the Oilers just before the start of the fourth quarter.  The same fans that left the stadium were not allowed to re-enter, but there were so many of them that they resorted to climbing the fences in order to reenter the stadium in the hopes of witnessing history.  With just a shade under 4 minutes remaining in regulation, the Bills took their first lead of the day as Frank Reich found Andre Reed for his third TD of the day.  The 17-yard hookup put the Bills in front by 3 points at 38-35.  Now trailing, the Oilers offense finally awakened would set up Al Del Greco's game-tying FG attempt from 26 yards away with 12 seconds left in regulation.  Del Greco's kick was good to force overtime.  Early in the OT, Moon threw his second interception of the day as Nate Odomes set in front of the pass.  The pick was costly as it set up Steve Christie's 32-yard FG to seal the doom of Houston Oilers.  Once again the Oilers suffered a difficult playoff loss to kill their chances of reaching their first Super Bowl.
