Buffalo, New York had a National Football League team prior to the Bills that operated under three different names: The All-Americans from 1920-1923, Bisons from 1924-1925, 1927 and 1929, and the Rangers in 1926.
The All-Americans had success during its first couple of seasons, posting a 9-1-1 regular season record in 1920 and a 9-1-2 record in 1921, coming within one game of the league's championship that year but losing to the Chicago Staleys in their final game. [1] But the team struggled for the rest of its lifespan. The team went through several owners and name changes, but nothing seemed to work. Finally, after failing to field a team in 1928, it folded after the 1929 season. Tommy Hughitt was a player on the team in the early 20s.
