History

Historical Context

The 1970 NFL season marked the first year after the merger with the American Football League (AFL), creating a unified league with 26 teams divided into the American Football Conference (AFC) and National Football Conference (NFC). This realignment enhanced competition and fan engagement, culminating in Super Bowl V, where the Baltimore Colts defeated the Dallas Cowboys 16-13 on January 17, 1971.
