The New York Giants were one of the best teams in football during the early 1960s, appearing in three straight NFL Championship games after acquiring legendary quarterback Yelberton Abraham “Y.A.” Tittle from the San Francisco 49ers. Tittle put forward one of the best offensive seasons in history in 1963, throwing for an NFL record 36 touchdown passes, a number that would not be broken until Dan Marino surpassed Tittle in the 1980s.
