On January 18, 1970 the East met the West at the Coliseum in Los Angeles in what would be the last Pro Bowl played prior to the AFL-NFL merger. In an era where the game was actually played for pride the West edged by the East 16-13. No ownership of this material is claimed.

What a great find! First broadcast footage I've seen from a pre-merger Pro Bowl, and it happens to be from the last pre-merger Pro Bowl.

My Dad took me to this game; first professional football game I ever attended. Tickets were 10 bucks or so.

Boy I remember being a 15 year old Minnesota Vikings fanatic and hearing that the whole Vikings defensive line was the NFL west starting defensive line I was really excited to see this game and back then the players took pride and did play hard in the Pro Bowel maybe not quite as hard as a regular season game or playoffs but they were very competitive unlike the farce it's turned into today

Wow, Retro, what a great find. Pro Bowl video from that era. Not sure I ever remember seeing any of that. Film, yes. Broadcast clips, no.

Thank you for this upload. This really was THE last game of any kind of the AFL-NFL era before the realignment of the two leagues under one banner (the AFL All-Star game had been played the day before this NFL Pro Bowl was played).

The field is just a plain football field w/o painted graphics, the uniforms look very simple and plain, the after TD's celebrations are non existent = Ahhhhh, REAL NFL football, the way I remember it.

Roman Gabriel not in the NFL HOF is totally lame. And put in John Brodie too.

It's a little hard to notice both both teams are wearing the same NFL 50th Anniversary helmets. I believe that starting the following season (after the merger) the players participating in the Pro Bowl wore the helmets from their individual teams. But the collector in me wonders what happened to those 50th Anniversary helmets!

They used to have their helmets painted gold with the NFL logo on them from about 1963 with the NFL 50 logo being the last year. In 1970, they went to either the AFC A or the NFC N on their helmets until 1978 when they just used their team logos
