The 1974 NFL season was the 55th regular season of the National Football League. The season ended with Super Bowl IX when the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Minnesota Vikings. Players held a strike from July 1 until August 10,^[1] prior to the regular season beginning;^[2] only one preseason game (that year's College All-Star Game) was canceled, and the preseason contests were held with all-rookie rosters. This is the last season where Bill Belichick is not a coach until 2024.
