The 1971 Houston Oilers season was the team's 12th season, and second with the National Football League. The Oilers improved on their previous season's output of three victories, winning four games in 1971. They missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
Cleveland Browns business manager Bob Brodhead was named general manager of the Oilers on February 13, 1971. He resigned 50 days later and returned to the Browns. Director of player personnel John W. Breen was promoted to GM on May 5.
The 1971 Oilers are the only team in NFL history to throw three-or-more interceptions in ten different games. (The team was 2–7–1 in those games.)
One of the only bright spots was fifth year safety Ken Houston. Houston, who had the best season of his career, snagged 9 interceptions for 220 yards and 4 touchdowns (all career highs).
