Houston Oilers 1970: A Game-by-Game Guide

Relive the Houston Oilers' memorable 1970 season with this guide that explores the entire year game by game, from the season-opening win against a new rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, all the way through the finale against Texas' "other" team, the Dallas Cowboys.

After making the playoff the two previous seasons, the Oilers' hopes in 1970 were ruined by several crushing injuries. Houston still had many highlights along the way, including that opening day win at Pittsburgh's brand-new Three Rivers Stadium, a victory on the road over the eventual division-champion Bengals and the surprising midseason announcement by coach Wally Lemm that he was quitting.

All of the highs and lows from the exciting season are here. A full recap and box score from every game is included, so you can follow the exploits of Lemm's Oilers from start to finish as they kept the loud Houston fans rocking in the Astrodome.

Whether you are a die-hard Oilers fan or an NFL history buff, you will enjoy this look back at the 1970 Houston Oilers.
