Washington Redskins 1970: A Game-by-Game Guide

Relive the Washington Redskins' memorable 1970 season with this guide that explores the entire year game by game, from opening day against the powerful 49ers through the season-finale upset of the Cardinals.

Tragedy struck the Redskins just weeks before the start of the 1970 season when legendary coach Vince Lombardi died.
