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, considered one of the most famous tackles in NFL history. It occurred late in the game at
Yankee Stadium on November 20. Bednarik was the last player to play the whole game. He averaged 58 minutes a game, starting at center and linebacker in the second half of season.
Schedule A bye week was necessary in , as the league expanded to an odd-number (13) of teams (
Dallas); one team was idle each week.
