NFL Empires: 1940

This is a continuation of my "empire" maps (where victors take the territory of the losers) of the NFL. Different than most such imperialism sports maps, instead of gaining all the loser's land from a victory home or away, the victor only gets territory for an away victory, and just two-thirds of it (or one-third for an away tie).

There were no changes to the teams between seasons (other than the Pirates becoming the Steelers), so the 1940 map starts where 1939 left off.

My data was from Pro Football Reference and most of the logos from SportsLogos.net.

Here then is the map of the NFL empires after the 1940 season:

The Chicago Bears (light blue) won the championship, beating Washington (gold) in the championship game 73-0. That is the most points scored by one team in any NFL game in history, and thus naturally also the largest margin of victory. The game was in Washington, giving Washington their first home loss of the season, and thus giving Chicago a lot of land on the map. What's crazy is that just three weeks earlier in the same stadium, Washington had beaten Chicago 7-3.

Here is the map before the season started:

Philadelphia only won one game all season, but it was at home, so they failed to gain any land.
