Tags: National Football League Season.
The 1970 New York Jets season was the 11th season for the team and the first in the National Football League following the AFL-NFL merger. It began with the team trying to maintain or improve upon its 10–4 record from 1969 under head coach Weeb Ewbank. The Jets finished with a record of 4–10. One of the highlights of the season was the Jets’ first game when they appeared on the first ever Monday Night Football game vs. the Cleveland Browns.
