1962 New York Giants season

The New York Giants season was the franchise's 38th season in the National Football League. Giants quarterback Y. A. Tittle had a breakout season in 1962. Said Cold Hard Football Facts, "It's safe to call Tittle a late bloomer. He enjoyed various degrees of success in his first 14 seasons with three teams in two different pro football leagues. But then in 1962, at the age of 36 and under second-year head coach Allie Sherman, Tittle exploded for a record 33 TD passes to lead the Giants to a 12–2 record."

Frank Gifford, back after a one season hiatus, and his first full year as a wide receiver (a position he would play for the rest of his career), has his best year as a wideout catching 39 passes for 796 yards and seven touchdowns.
