1914 Detroit Heralds season

The 1914 Detroit Heralds season was the 10th season for the Detroit Heralds, an independent American football team. Led by coach Bill Marshall, the team compiled an 8–0–1 record, shut out eight opponents, and allowed only six points during the season. After the season ended, sports writer E. A. Batchelor declared the Heralds to be the state's independent football champion and branded coach Marshall "a real football genius".

Having gone undefeated in 1913 as well, the Heralds' 1914 season extended the team's unbeaten streak to 16 games. In addition to facing opponents from within the state, the 1914 Heralds also played an Illinois team (Evanston North Ends) to a scoreless tie and defeated one Canadian team and three Ohio teams: Windsor (33–0); Cleveland Erin Braus (13–0); Cincinnati Celts (13–0); and Massillon Tigers (19–0).
