1930 NFL season: Difference between revisions

Defending champion Green Bay won its first 8 games, including a 14–7 home win over the New York Giants on October 4. By '''Week Nine''', Green Bay was at 104–0–0 and New York right behind at 10–1–0. On November 16, the Packers lost to the Cardinals 13–6, but in New York, the Giants fell to the Bears, 12–0. On November 23, a crowd of 37,000 turned out as the Packers and the Giants met at the [[Polo Grounds]] in New York. The Giants' 13–6 win in '''Week Eleven''' gave it the lead, 11–2–0 (.846) to the Packers' 8–2–080–2–0 (.800). Missed extra points had a big effect, as four days later, the Giants were beaten on [[Thanksgiving Day]] by Staten Island, 7–6, while Green Bay defeated Frankford 25–7 to retake the lead, 9–2–0 (.818) vs. New York's 11–3–0 (.785). The Giants faltered again on Sunday, November 30, when Brooklyn beat them 7–6, again on a missed point after.
