The 1960 New York Giants season was the 36th season for the club in the National Football League. The Mara family was opposed to the AFL adding a team in New York, but received an indemnity fee of ten million dollars.[1]
Offseason
With the departure of Tom Landry as defensive coordinator, the club made three veterans player coaches. Harland Svare became the defensive coordinator. Robus was a defensive line coach, while Jimmy Patton was a defensive backs coach.[2]
Regular season
During the 1960 season, Chuck Bednarik is perhaps best known for knocking Frank Gifford of the New York Giants out of football for over eighteen months. It was considered one of the most famous tackles in NFL history in 1960.
