		Leo Lyons always insisted that Rochester, N.Y., could have been "another Green Bay." The manager of the Rochester Jeffersons during their sad six-year stay in the National Football League (1920-25) believed all his life that his hometown could have duplicated Green Bay's feat of playing successful David to the NFL's metropolitan Goliaths.
		The Jeffersons were a terrible team, all right, but they failed to draw flies precisely BECAUSE they had some big stars.
		One consequence is the Rochester Jeffersons loom much larger in many pro football histories than their record warrents.

		It is extraordinary that only one team in the long history of the NFL has managed to win every game on its schedule, going back to 1920, when the Akron Pros inaugurated professional football with an undefeated and thrice-tied 6-0-3 season.
		Akron’s record remains a curiosity, as no other team in the league played more than eight games and two, the Muncie Flyers and Rochester Jeffersons, played just one game each.
		Given the unique character of going undefeated, it is, I suppose, natural that the team that did it should be called the greatest ever.
