Quarterback Ken Stabler had an "off year" by his standards in 1975, but he still was able to lead the Raiders to the AFC Championship Game and the Raiders to a 10-3 record in games that he started.


Tackle Art Shell continued to cement his position as the top tackle in football as he was voted to his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl in 1975.


The late guard, Gene Upshaw, was voted to his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl appearance and fifth overall in 1975.
