The1974 New York Giants season was thefranchise's 50th season in theNational Football League. TheGiants finished in last place in theNational Football Conference East Division with a 2–12 record, the team's worst since1966.[1][2]

The Giants’ home venue in 1974 was theYale Bowl inNew Haven, Connecticut,[3] and they were winless at home in seven games. They won only one of twelve games at the Yale Bowl in1973 and 1974. The Giants played atShea Stadium inQueens in1975 and openedGiants Stadium inNew Jersey in October1976.[3][4]

The 1974 Giants hold the distinction of being the first team to lose a regular season game in overtime.[5] In week nine, the 2–6 Giants welcomed the cross-town rivalJets to the Yale Bowl. With the Giants leading 20–13 in the fourth quarter,Joe Namath faked a handoff toEmerson Boozer, then ran into the end zone for a touchdown which tied the score at 20–20, forcing overtime;[6] previously, a game between thePittsburgh Steelers andDenver Broncos had ended in a 35–35 tie.[5] The Giants were denied a game-winning score whenPete Gogolak missed a 42-yard field goal attempt, despite protests from Gogolak that he had made the kick. The Jets subsequently won 26–20 on a five-yard pass from Namath to Boozer after 6:53 of play in the extra period.[6]
