1962 NFL Championship Game
The 1962 National Football League championship game was the 30th NFL title game. The game was played on December 30, 1962 at Yankee Stadium in New York City between the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers. The attendance for the game was 64,892. The Packers were coached by Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi, and the Giants by Allie Sherman. The weather during the game was so cold that television crews used bonfires to thaw out their cameras, and one cameraman suffered frostbite. The conditions also made throwing the ball difficult. Green Bay won 16–7 behind the performances of game Most Valuable Player linebacker Ray Nitschke, and fullback Jim Taylor. Green Bay right guard Jerry Kramer kicked three field goals and an extra point. The Giants fumbled twice, losing each, while the Packers recovered all five of their fumbles.
==Background==
The 1962 game was a rematch of the 1961 championship game, won by Green Bay 37–0.〔(Championship Games 1950–present ), giants.com, accessed January 12, 2007.〕 The Eastern Conference champions New York Giants (12–2) faced the Western Conference titlist Green Bay Packers (13–1). Green Bay began the season 10–0 including a 49–0 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, where they gained 628 yards to Philadelphia's 54.〔 Before the game, 10,000 fans at a New York Knicks game spontaneously began chanting "Beat Green Bay! Beat Green Bay!", and when the 18,000 tickets available to non season ticket holders went on sale for the game, they sold within three hours.〔Gottehrer. pg. 17〕 Due to the NFL's blackout policy which aimed to protect gate receipts, until 1973, fans in a team's home market could not watch their team's regular season and playoff games on television, even if they were title games.〔Associated Press. (Giants-Packers title games in '61 and '62 part of NFL lore ), nfl.com, accessed December 1, 2010.〕 New York fans made reservations for motels in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Connecticut so they could watch the game out of the 75 mile blackout zone, and even though the game was played in single digit weather with 35–40 mph winds, only 299 of the 65,000+ Giant fans who bought tickets to the sold out game stayed home.〔Gottehrer. pg. 17–22〕 Although the weather was temperate the previous day,〔 during the contest it became so cold that a cameraman filming the game suffered frostbite, and television crews used dugout bonfires to thaw out their cameras.〔Gottehrer. pgs. 21–2〕 Broadcaster Art Rust, Jr. later described the weather as "barbaric".〔 The cold conditions favored the Packers who used a run-oriented offense led by Taylor, while the Giants featured a more pass heavy offense led by quarterback YA Tittle who, coming into the game, had passed for 3,224 yards and 33 touchdowns on the season.〔〔
