The 1970 Philadelphia Eagles season was their 38th in the league. They failed to improve on their previous output of 4–9–1, winning only three games. The team failed to qualify for the playoffs for the tenth consecutive season.
The Eagles could take some satisfaction in victories over the playoff-bound Dolphins and the cross-state rival Steelers, as well as a 23-20 victory on Monday Night Football over the streaking Giants, ending New York's six-game winning streak and helping deny Big Blue a playoff berth.

“When we reached the lake, about half past eight in the evening, it was still steadily raining, and harder than before; and, in that fresh, cool atmosphere, the hylodes were peeping and the toads ringing about the lake universally, as in the spring with us. It was as if the season had revolved backward two or three months, or I had arrived at the abode of perpetual spring.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
