The Ohio League and New York Pro Football League were two prominent regional associations in the 1910s ( the NYPFL held an actual championship game in 1919 ) . In 1920 , teams from the Ohio League and New York Pro Football League , along with other midwestern teams , formalized into the American Professional Football Association ( APFA ) ; the league was later renamed the National Football League ( NFL ) . The NFL conducted play for thirteen years before concocting a " " championship game " " . From 1920 through 1932 , league " " champions " " were determined by won - loss record , but the schedules and rules were so ill - defined that conflicts exist to this day over who the actual champions were . Some teams played more games than others ; some played against college or semi - pro teams ; some played " after " the season was over , some stopped play " before " a season was over . For example , in 1921 , the Buffalo All - Americans disputed the Chicago Staleys ' title , and in 1925 , the Pottsville Maroons claimed the championship was theirs , not the Chicago Cardinals ' .
