Pro Football Historian (PFH) is a blog page written by Flint Given. Pro Football Historian or PFH is a page to inform people on prior NFL events that people might not know about. Learning about teams from the 1920s or even the first few NFL World Championships in the 1930s fascinates me. It's these kinds of events that I want to discuss in this blog. Hopefully you are interested and will continue to check up on my blogs.

Who Were The West Buffalo Football Team?
West Buffalo was an independent football team in 1920. They played only two games, both of which were on the road. After the 1920 season the team never played another game again. In their first game West Buffalo went Canisius Villa Field to play the Buffalo All-Americans. The All-Americans scored three rushing touchdowns in the first half, two by Bodie Weldon. In the second half, the All-Americans scored two more touchdowns (one rushing and one passing) while West Buffalo scored their only touchdown off an interception from 60 yards out in the third quarter. West Buffalo would lose 6-32 against the All-Americans of the APFA (later to be the NFL). A few weeks later West Buffalo would play their final game against the All-Tonawanda Lumberjacks at Tonawanda High School Athletic Field. The Lumberjacks would win 42-0 meaning the only score in West Buffalo professional football history is a pick six.
