In 1938, the Giants returned to the title game. Facing the Green Bay Packers at home, he threw 7-of-11 for 74 yards for two touchdowns. His touchdown pass to Hank Soar from 23 yards in the third quarter proved the winning score as New York overcame being outrun and outpassed with turnover luck (3 to 1) as Danowski became the first quarterback to win and lose two NFL Championship games. The two teams met again the following year for the title, with Green Bay not to be denied this time at home. Danowski threw 4-of-12 for 47 yards with three interceptions while the Packers routed them 27-0. Pulling Danowski from the game did not help matters much, as Eddie Miller, Tuffy Leemans, and Len Barnum went a combined 5-of-14 for three interceptions.
