1948 Season — Final Standings (NFL & AAFC)
Final regular-season standings. Cleveland's perfect 14-0-0 season stands as one of pro football's rarest achievements, capped by a 49-7 championship rout of Buffalo (itself fresh off winning the AAFC's first true postseason play-in game, over Baltimore). The NFL's Philadelphia Eagles completed a two-year rise to the top by shutting out the Chicago Cardinals in a snow-choked championship game at Shibe Park, while mounting AAFC-NFL bidding wars for talent and weak gate receipts at several AAFC franchises were already signaling the two-league arrangement was unsustainable.
