The 1995 NFL season was the 76th regular season of the National Football League. The league expanded to 30 teams with the addition of the Carolina Panthers and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The two expansion teams were slotted into the two remaining divisions
that had only four teams (while the other four had five teams): the AFC Central (Jaguars) and the NFC West (Panthers).
Meanwhile, the two teams in Los Angeles relocated to other cities: the Rams transferred to St. Louis and the Raiders moved back to Oakland. During the course of the season it emerged that the Cleveland Browns would relocate to Baltimore for the 1996 season.
The Raiders move was not announced until after the schedule had been
announced, which resulted in a problem in the third week of the season
when both the Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers had games scheduled to air on NBC
which ended up overlapping each other (the Raiders game was scheduled
for 1 PM in case they were to move and NBC was given the doubleheader so
that both Bay Area teams had their games televised locally).
The season ended with Super Bowl XXX when the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers to become the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in four years. Taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995_NFL_season
