Nov. 1, 1970, Giants 22-Jets 10: They played the first game that counted in the standings in the initial year of the NFL-AFL merger. The Jets were without Namath, Matt Snell and Emerson Boozer, but they had a 10-3 lead in the third quarter nonetheless, with Al Woodall behind center. But that lead would quickly disappear as the Giants recorded a safety, Fran Tarkenton threw touchdown passes to Bob Tucker and Clifton McNeil and Pete Gogolak booted a field goal, as the Giants ran away with the victory. |
