Who was the only person elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame without having played in the National Football League?
Billy Shaw, a guard for the Buffalo Bills from 1961 to 1969, played his entire career in the American Football League. He retired the year before the AFL teams merged with the teams of the National Football League. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999.
Was there ever been a pro football game where both teams scored on every possession?
no
Who beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the first pro football championship?
The Dallas Texans became the Kansas City Chiefs in 1963. The first pro football championship was played a long time before that. But if the question is about the first Super Bowl, the Green Bay Packers beat the Chiefs 35-10.
Has there ever been a double header pro football game?
no FYI: no is the wrong answer There has been a Pro Football Double Header game. It was played on Saturday August 18,1962 at Cleveland Stadium. The Detroit Loins played the Dallas Cowboys and then Pittsburgh Steelers played the Cleveland Browns. I have a program from the game. It was a preseason game and the program states it was the 1st pro football double-header. It also should be noted that it was Ernie Davis's only appearance at Cleveland Stadium. My program is also signed by Ernie Davis. MORE: This is an incomplete answer -- there were annual pro football doubleheaders in Cleveland from 1962 through 1971. The Browns played a premier NFL team, usually the Packers. This featured game followed an early game played by two neutral teams. These events were always sold out. And to correct the above entry, Ernie Davis may have "appeared" at that first double-header game, but he was not in uniform and did not play.
