1967 Boston Patriots season
# 1967 Boston Patriots season

The 1967 Boston Patriots season was the franchise's 8th season in the American Football League. The Patriots recorded three wins, ten losses, and one tie, and finished last in the AFL's Eastern Division.

Notably, the Patriots would not record another tie prior to the introduction of overtime in professional football in 1974, and have not yet recorded a tie (as of 2023) in the overtime era, which is currently the longest such span among current National Football League teams.
