This was the day of the Army - Navy game that is normally the last game of the college season before the bowl games .

The AFL was going strong in wanting stars signed and would do what they could to please them if they signed with the AFL . Joe Namath would sign if he could play in New York , and he was given a salary of $ 427 , 000 . As in earlier years some players had signed " AFL contracts " they signed with the league as soon as their last college game was over and when drafted by an AFL team the contract was transferred to them . To help fight this the NFL moved the draft up to near the end of the college season . A new new kind of job was created , " baby sitter " . Their job was to hang with the draft prospect , and keep him away from the other leagues representative . The Eagles draft pick , Otis Taylor was held in a motel and had to " escape " from the NFL baby sitter . He later signed with the AFL for money and a " Red Thunderbird Convertible " that the AFL baby sitter was driving . Taylor noticed how a lot of people stared at the car when they drove by , and he wanted one . The first player selected was Tucker Frederickson , back from Auburn , by the New York Giants .

Louis Cardinals to sign Joe Namath , who signed with the American Football League ' s New York Jets , and went on to defeat the NFL ' s Colts for the World Championship after the 1968 season .

1921 Chicago Staleys season The 1921 Chicago Staleys season was their second regular season completed in the young American Professional Football Association . The club posted a 9 - 1 - 1 record under head coach / player George Halas earning them a first place finish in the team standings and their first league championship . The beginning of the season saw A . E . Staley turn over the team to Halas and Dutch Sternaman , who moved the team to Chicago , Illinois . The team name was changed from the Decatur Staleys to the Chicago Staleys due to a contract between Staley and Halas . The Staleys were quite dominant , but all of Chicago ' s games were played at home ( including one game in Decatur ) . Two games were against the Buffalo All - Americans ; the first , played on Thanksgiving , was won by Buffalo 7 - 6 , giving the Staleys their only loss of the season . Ed " Dutch " Sternaman and George Halas starred again , with newcomer Gaylord Stinchcomb also contributing . Sternaman scored 32 points , most by kicking , and threw one TD pass . Halas had 3 TD receptions while Stinchcomb led the team with 4 touchdown runs . De facto championship game . The All - Americans agreed to rematch the Staleys on December 4 on the condition that the game would be considered a " post - season " exhibition game not to be counted in the standings ; had it not , Buffalo would have had an undefeated season and won the title . ( Buffalo had played , and defeated , the Akron Pros just one day prior . ) Chicago defeated Buffalo in the rematch by a score of 10 - 7 . Halas rebutted that the second game was played on December 4th ( well before teams typically stopped playing games in those days ) , and the Staleys played two more games against top opponents , the Canton Bulldogs and Chicago Cardinals after the second Buffalo game ( though , at the time of the Buffalo - Chicago matchup , Chicago had played three fewer games than Buffalo ) . The league counted the All - Americans game in the standings , against Buffalo ' s wishes , resulting in Buffalo ( 9 - 1 - 2 ) and Chicago ( 9 - 1 - 1 ) being tied atop the standings . The league then implemented the first ever tiebreaker : a rule , now considered archaic and removed from league rulebooks , that states that if two teams play multiple times in a season , the last game between the two teams carries more weight . Thus , the Chicago victory actually counted " more " in the standings , giving Chicago the championship . Buffalo sports fans have been known to refer to this , justly or unjustly , as the " Staley Swindle . " Standings . " W = Wins , L = Losses , T = Ties , PCT = Winning Percentage " " Note : Tie games were not officially counted in the standings until 1972 "

Before the season started , NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle reinstated Green Bay Packers running back Paul Hornung and Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alex Karras , who had been suspended for the 1963 season due to gambling .

As a result , the Browns , Cardinals , Colts , Cowboys , Rams , Redskins , Steelers ( for one game ) and Vikings ( except for one game in which the Lions forgot to bring their blue jerseys ) did so ; while the rest reverted to home colors the following year , the Rams would not do so again until 1972 , the Browns only once until 1975 , and the Cowboys , aside from an unwilling use of their blue tops as the " home " team in Super Bowl , have continuously worn white at home to this day . The season ended when the Cleveland Browns defeated the Baltimore Colts in the NFL Championship Game - the last major sports championship for any Cleveland team to date . Conference races . The Western Conference race started with Baltimore losing its opener at Minnesota , 34 - 24 .
