The National Football League playoffs for the 1970 season began on December 26, 1970. The postseason tournament concluded with the Baltimore Colts defeating the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl V, 16–13, on January 17, 1971, at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida.
This was the first playoff tournament after the AFL–NFL merger. An eight-team playoff tournament was designed, with four clubs from each conference qualifying. Along with the three division winners in each conference, one wild card team, the second place team with the best record from each conference, was added to the tournament. The first round was named the Divisional Playoffs, while the Conference Championship games were moved to the second playoff round and the Super Bowl became the league's championship game.
However, the home teams in the playoffs were still decided based on a yearly divisional rotation, excluding the wild card teams, who would always play on the road. Also, a rule was made that two teams from the same division could not meet in the Divisional Playoffs. In the rotation system, teams who hosted and won against the wild card team in the Divisional playoffs never could host the Conference Championship game. Conversely, this meant that the winner of Divisional playoff games that were exclusively between division winners always hosted the Conference Championship game.
This is the most recent year in which all playoff games matched up two teams that had yet to meet in the postseason in a previous year.
Participants
Within each conference, the three division winners and the non-division winner with the best overall regular season record of all remaining teams in the conference qualified for the playoffs. The NFL did not use a seeding system until the 1975 season, and instead home teams during the first two rounds of the playoffs alternated by division. Thus, it is possible that a team could host another club with a better regular season record. For the Super Bowl, the championship round was played at a neutral site, the designated home team was based on an annual rotation by conference.
Playoff participants | ||
AFC | NFC | |
---|---|---|
East winner | Baltimore Colts | Dallas Cowboys |
Central winner | Cincinnati Bengals | Minnesota Vikings |
West winner | Oakland Raiders | San Francisco 49ers |
Wild card | Miami Dolphins | Detroit Lions |
Following the rotational system, the winner of the NFC Central, the Minnesota Vikings, would have met the wild card team. With the Detroit Lions the wild card team was from the same division and hence, the home teams of the NFC switched their opponents.
The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs finished the season 7–5–2, runner-up in the AFC West.
Bracket
- Note: Although the home teams in these playoffs were decided based on a yearly rotation, the home club coincidentally happened to be the one with the better record in every game. Had the playoffs been seeded, the only difference would have been that the #4 wild card Lions, ineligible to play the Vikings, would have played at the #2 49ers and the #3 Cowboys would have played at the #1 Vikings in the NFC divisional playoffs.

The Bengals started out their first season as an NFL team 1–6, but stormed into the playoffs by winning their last seven games. However, their comeback season came to a crushing halt in Baltimore, where the Colts' defense limited the Bengals to eight first downs and 139 total yards of offense.[1] By the end of the first three quarters, the Bengals had just 47 yards and two first downs.
The closest Cincinnati came to scoring was Horst Muhlmann's 49-yard field goal attempt which was blocked by Colts linebacker Ray May. Meanwhile, Baltimore quarterback Johnny Unitas threw two touchdown passes: a 45-yard completion to Roy Jefferson in the first quarter and a 53-yard reception to Eddie Hinton in the fourth period. Jim O'Brien added a 44-yard field goal in the second quarter. Rookie running back Norm Bulaich rushed for 116 yards.[1]
This was the first postseason meeting between the Bengals and Colts.[2] The crowd of 51,127 ended the Colts' streak of 51 consecutive sellouts which began in 1958. The gametime temperature of 30 °F with a wind chill of 0 °F and winds up to 30 miles per hour was a factor.[1]

Although they recorded 209 rushing yards, the Cowboys could only manage a field goal and a safety, but still managed to shut out the Lions. The Cowboy defense held Lions quarterback Greg Landry to 48 passing yards. In addition, they contained his running as Landry was an excellent running QB; he averaged 10 yards per carry and gained 350 yards during the regular season. However, in this game he was held to 15 yards rushing.
In the first quarter, Cowboys rookie safety Charlie Waters recovered a fumble from Landry and returned it nine yards to his own 45. A 14-yard completion from Craig Morton to fullback Walt Garrison and a pair of six-yard runs by Duane Thomas then got the team close enough for Mike Clark's 26-yard field goal to give the Cowboys a 3–0 lead. In the second quarter, Detroit managed to advance the ball to the Dallas 29, but a jarring tackle by defensive end Larry Cole stripped the ball from RB Altie Taylor and Waters recorded his second fumble recovery to keep Detroit scoreless. The Lions would not move the ball into Dallas territory again until 59 seconds remained in the game.
In the final period, Dallas marched 76 yards in 15 plays, 51 of those yards from Thomas, to advance to the Detroit one-yard line. Rather than kick a field goal on fourth down, the Cowboys elected to give the ball to Thomas, who was stopped short of the goal line. But three plays later, Dallas defensive end George Andrie sacked Landry for a safety. Bill Munson replaced Landry and led the Lions down field in the waning moments, including a 39-yard completion to Earl McCullouch on the Dallas 29 that converted a fourth down, but the Cowboys clinched the victory in the final moments with Mel Renfro's interception at their own 11-yard line.
The contest remains the lowest-scoring postseason game in NFL history and was just the second time in league history a game ended with a 5–0 score.[3] It was the first playoff game without a touchdown in twenty years.[4][5]
This was the first postseason meeting between the Lions and Cowboys.[2]

The 10–3–1 49ers, making their first playoff game since 1957,[6][7][8] stunned the heavily favored Vikings, the defending NFL champions who had finished the regular season with an NFL best record at 12–2. The 49ers defeated the Vikings in Minnesota, despite losing three of five fumbles; Minnesota had four turnovers. The loss ended a 16-game home winning streak at Metropolitan Stadium for the Vikings, including postseason.
Quarterback John Brodie led the 49ers to their first NFL playoff victory by throwing for 201 yards and touchdown and rushing for another. The Vikings scored first when Minnesota defensive back Paul Krause picked up San Francisco running back Ken Willard's fumble in midair and returned it 22 yards for a touchdown. The 49ers responded by scoring 17 unanswered points, first with Brodie's 24-yard touchdown pass to Dick Witcher. Then in the second quarter, San Francisco converted a Vikings fumble into Bruce Gossett's 40-yard field goal. Brodie scored the clinching touchdown, a one-yard run, with 1:20 left. Minnesota's 24-yard touchdown pass was completed with only seven seconds left in the game, and ended with just one second remaining on the clock.
This was the first postseason meeting between the 49ers and Vikings.[2]

Quarterback Daryle Lamonica threw two touchdown passes and the Raiders scored 14-points in the second half to defeat the Dolphins 21–14 in a sea of mud at the Oakland Coliseum.
In the first quarter, both teams blew scoring chances on drives deep into opposing territory, with Raiders kicker George Blanda driving a 23-yard field goal attempt wide right and Miami's Garo Yepremian missing a kick from 24 yards. In the second quarter, Dolphins defensive end Bill Stanfill recovered a fumble from Charlie Smith on the Raiders 19 that set up Bob Griese's 16-yard touchdown pass to Paul Warfield. With less than five minutes left in the half, Raiders quarterback Daryle Lamonica led the team on a 62-yard scoring drive to tie the game 7–7, completing a 21-yard pass to tight end Raymond Chester and an 11-yarder to Fred Biletnikoff before connecting with Biletnikoff in the end zone from 22 yards out.
Oakland took the second half kickoff and drove all the way to the Dolphins' two-yard line, but Smith lost another fumble, this one recovered by defensive back Jake Scott, and the Raiders were unable to break the tie. On the first play after the turnover, Miami quarterback Bob Griese hooked up with Paul Warfield for 24-yard gain. But later in the drive, he was sacked for a 12-yard loss. Faced with third down and 19, Griese had to go deep to attempt a first down completion. He attempted to throw to Warfield, only to see his pass intercepted by Willie Brown and returned 50 yards for a touchdown, giving the Raiders a 14–7 lead.
Early in the fourth quarter, Miami drove into scoring range, but came up empty when Yepremian missed another field goal attempt from 24 yards. Two plays later, on third down and 12, Lamonica fired a pass to Rod Sherman, who took off for an 82-yard touchdown completion to put the Raiders up 21–7. Miami responded by picking up five first downs on a 69-yard drive that ended with Griese's seven-yard touchdown pass to Willie Richardson. Then with 2:22 left, they managed for force a punt, giving them one last chance to drive for a tying touchdown. However, the Raiders forced a turnover on downs, then ran out the clock.[9]
Lamonica finished the game 8/16 for 187 yards and two touchdowns, with no interceptions.
This was the first postseason meeting between the Dolphins and Raiders.[2]

Baltimore dominated the first quarter, holding the Raiders to six plays and one completion, while Unitas led them to the four-yard line, where Jim O'Brien's 16-yard field goal gave them a 3–0 lead.
