Don Moorhead continued to be the starting quarterback and threw for 2468 yards passing and 17 touchdown passes. However, Moorhead injured his knee and hand late in the season, and General Manager Jackie Parker traded for veteran quarterback Pete Liske in October as insurance. The Lions lost their final four games of the season, however, still made the final playoff spot via tiebreaker. In the Western Semi-Final, the Lions fell to Saskatchewan by a score of 24–14 (the Roughriders won all four games against the Lions in 1974). Annis Stukus was elected to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in the Builder category. The Lions changed their jersey to short sleeves and all white numbers at home
