The 1978 New England Patriots season was the franchise's ninth season in the National Football League and 19th overall. They finished the season with a record of eleven wins and five losses, tied for first in the AFC East, and won the tiebreaker over the Miami Dolphins. It was the Patriots' second division title, and the first since 1963, the fourth year of the AFL. In the Divisional Playoffs the Patriots lost to the Houston Oilers 31–14. New England set a then-NFL record in 1978 for most rushing yards in a single season, with 3,165 yards on the ground. This record would not be broken until the Baltimore Ravens, led by Lamar Jackson, some four decades later. Four players rushed for more than 500 yards each: running back Sam "Bam" Cunningham, 768; running back Andy Johnson, 675; running back Horace Ivory, 693; and quarterback Steve Grogan, 539. The team also picked up an NFL-record 181 rushing first-downs.
