NFL Game of the Week

Los Angeles Rams at New York Giants; Houston Oilers at Dallas Cowboys, 1970 (6x14)

: 26, 1970

The NFC East Division's first tightest race came in the newly-realigned division's first year. Both the Giants and Cowboys, along with the St. Louis Cardinals, were in the race for one playoff berth. Dallas got it in record-breaking style, busting Houston for more than 50 points. As a consolation, New York's Ron Johnson became the Giants' first running back to rush for 1000 yards in a season.
