In 1920 they joined the newly created NFL and along with the Chicago Bears are the only two charter members of the NFL still in existence. In 1947 they beat the Chicago Rockets of the upstart AAFL for the rights to Hall of Fame halfback Charley Trippi. This signing is generally acknowledged as the final piece to a championship.
