Question
What two teams appeared in the first-ever game on ABC’s Monday Night Football?
Answer
Jets at Browns, with Cleveland winning 31-21. This was 1970 – the year of the merger – so this game was also big in that it featured a regular-season meeting between teams that previously were in the AFL and NFL. This was the first-ever game between these two franchises. And ABC wanted Joe Namath to help draw more viewers. Diminished versions of the Browns and Jets will play today.
