February 21, 1970

Thirty years ago, the American Football League completed its merger with the National Football League. The merger combined the talents of pro football's best and brightest--including George Halas, Pete Rozelle and Lamar Hunt. Under the terms of the merger, the Jets, Oilers (now Titans), Patriots, Bills, Dolphins, Raiders, Chiefs, Chargers, Broncos and Bengals joined the NFL, forming the American Football Conference, along with three existing NFL teams--the Browns, Steelers and Colts. The other NFL teams formed the National Football Conference.
