Big Blue did not return to the playoffs until 1981, ending a drought which dated back to the 1963 NFL Championship.

The 1970 Giants offense was led by Pro Bowl performers, quarterback Fran Tarkenton, and running back Ron Johnson.

The offense struggled when the team failed to run the ball well, as in the week fourteen loss to the Los Angeles Rams in which the Giants rushed for only 50 yards.

In that game, the Giants allowed only 155 total offensive yards against the team which finished the season with the league's worst record.

The backbone of New York's defense was a stout front four, featuring ends Fred Dryer and Jim Kanicki and tackles Bob Lurtsema and Jerry Shay.

Williams was part of a solid secondary which also included Tom Longo, Scott Eaton and Spider Lockhart.
