The 1928 New York Giants season was the franchise's 4th season in the National Football League. The team finished a disappointing sixth with a 4–7–2 record after winning the NFL title in 1927. The Giants played two games against the Detroit Wolverines and failed to win either one (a 28–0 loss in Detroit and a 19–19 tie at the Polo Grounds); at season's end, Giants owner Tim Mara bought the entire Detroit franchise (mostly to secure the services of star tailback Benny Friedman) and merged the two clubs under the Giants' name.
