The New England Patriots finished the National Football League's 1975 season with a record of three wins and eleven losses, and finished tied for fourth in the AFC East Division. Hoping to make the playoffs for the first time since 1963, the Patriots entered the season hoping that success from the previous season in which they finished the season with an even 7-7 record, their best outing since 1966, the last time they had a winning season, would help them have a strong preseason and make them try to go on a postseason run during the 1975 season. However, New England continued it's forgetful period of the 70s, as they finished 3-11 and missed the playoffs for the 12th straight season. New England started terribly, losing it's first 4 games, each by 7 or more points. After winning 3 of their next 4 games, the Patriots would lose their final 6 games to conclude the season. Although they tied the New York Jets for last place in the AFC East, they lost the tiebreaker by virtue of New York winning both matchups during the season.
