American Football question

Snickers Man · 2008-01-09 19:26:27

Without looking at an atlas or googling, what is the only NFL franchise (American football) that is NOT named after either a city or a state?

its a good one maybe in a couple of years, but right now they're the top team! I might throw it out there in a couple of years if they slide down the ranks!

It was a good one when I first heard it about 20 years ago. They got to the Super Bowl that year but got cuffed so badly by the Bears (Walter Payton et al) that in the third quarter the commentator was heard to say "If it was a fight, they'd have to stop it."

The Patriots were formerly known as the Boston Patriots though.

They changed their name when they moved stadium from the City of Boston to Foxboro out in the sticks.
