The 1970 Chicago Bears season was their 51st regular season completed in the National Football League. The team finished with a 6–8 record, a significant improvement over the 1–13 record of the previous season, the worst in franchise history.

After losing the coin flip for the number one pick in the 1970 NFL draft (which Pittsburgh used to draft Terry Bradshaw), the Bears traded the 2nd pick to the Green Bay Packers for Lee Roy Caffey, Elijah Pitts, and Bob Hyland.[1]
