1927 NFL Season — Final Standings
Final standings for the post-contraction season, the league cut down from the prior year's record 22 teams to 12 after the rival American Football League's collapse. The Giants won the title behind a historically stingy defense that allowed just 20 points across 13 games, still regarded as one of the greatest defensive seasons in NFL history. The league absorbed the AFL's New York Yankees franchise (still featuring Red Grange) as a continuing NFL entity.
