NFL Empires: 1955

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 from the 1954 season.

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 1955 season:

Cleveland (brown) beat Los Angeles (red) in the championship game in Los Angeles, gaining wide swaths of land in the process, mostly in the east, courtesy of a late Los Angeles victory over Philadelphia (dark green). Washington (gold) came in second in the East, but barely made any progress on the empire front. The Chicago Bears (light blue) came in second in the West, amassing a large central empire where last-place Detroit (purple) had once ruled.

Here is the map before the season started:

Oh look! Even the Cardinals got some land!
