The AFL released their final official statistics of the season and among the individual finishers were Eddie Macon in second place with nine interceptions and Jack Larscheid third with a kickoff return average of 28.4 yards per return.

Tom Flores led all league passers in completion percentage at 54.0.

After the second day of the team's ownership meeting Chet Soda acknowledged the long-held opinion of observers that head coach Eddie Erdelatz was interested in the general manager job and that that interest could have some bearing on whether he returned for a second season. Soda said Erdelatz would be “given every consideration” for the job, but that the owners would have to “kick [it] around quite a while” before deciding. He added that the owners did not discuss the issue at today's meeting and that Erdelatz had assured Soda that he would coach the team in 1961 regardless of the decision.

Curley Grieve of the Examiner reported several days after the fact that Robert Osborne did not attend one, or possibly both, of the meetings.
