The 1963 NFL season was the 44th regular season of the National Football League.
On April 17, NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle suspended Green Bay Packers running back Paul Hornung and Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alex Karras indefinitely for gambling on their own teams, as well as other NFL games; Hornung and Karras would miss the entire season, while five of Karras' teammates were fined $2,000 each for placing bets on a game in which they did not participate.
This was the final season of the 37-man roster; it was expanded to forty for 1964.[1]
The season ended with the Chicago Bears defeating the New York Giants at Wrigley Field in the NFL Championship Game.
