Is this possible to deploy AWS Lambda Containers without using SAM. Every article I found on internet is suggesting to use SAM to deploy. As SAM is a wrapper on AWS cloud formation I want to use only cloud formation YAML to deploy lambda containers.

I don't think CloudFormation will handle building the Docker image and pushing it to ECR, but once you have pushed your image to ECR you should be able to deploy it as a Lambda function using any tool you want, like CloudFormation, Terraform, AWS CLI, whatever....

Please provide enough code so others can better understand or reproduce the problem.

As you already know, you need to create a docker image of your lambda application and then push to AWS docker registry which is ECR, now there are several ways to deploy your lambda:
1- use AWS console, go into lambda in GUI choose "container image" in the options and provide ECR link (No cloudformation will be used this way)
2- create a SAM template and then use AWS CLI or AWS Console again to setup a cloudformation and SAM will be compiled to cloudformation later in the process.
3- directly create a cloudformation template and then use CLI or AWS console to deploy your lambda
4- use CDK to do your deployment
And maybe many other choices and methods. now depending on what exactly you want to do, ask for more specific detail.
