Forfeit |
* Title for 1921 is in some dispute. The
official NFL position awards the title to George Halas' Chicago Staleys with a 10-1-1
record. However, Buffalo adherents claimed that Chicago counted a non-league game in their
record, and as ties were simply dropped when determining winning percentage prior to 1972,
each team would have 9-1 records.
** Non-APFA game.
*** Washington
claimed a forfeit after Rochester refused to take the field due to heavy
snow and ice. The APFA did not rule on this claim.
