NFL Empires: 1949

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).

The Boston Yanks relocated to New York and became the Bulldogs. Thus they gained the land within 100 miles of their new capital, except taking Philadelphia's land only halfway to Philadelphia and not taking Manhattan from the New York Giants.

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

Here then is the map of the NFL empires after the 1949 season:

Philadelphia (dark green) won the championship, beating Los Angeles (red) in Los Angeles to gain a large chunk of land. The Chicago Bears (light blue) and Chicago Cardinals (magenta) still control huge empires, after coming in second and third, respectively, in the West. The Bears had beaten the Cardinals early in the season to take most of their land, but then promptly lost at home to Los Angeles. Near the end of the season, the Cardinals won in Los Angeles to get much of it back.

Here is the map before the season started:

What's more important? The championship game or the battle for Chicago?
