NFL Empires: 1964

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 from the previous 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 1964 season:

Despite a fourth-place finish, Detroit (gray purple) made a great empire from beating Baltimore (medium blue) in the next-to-last game of the season. Baltimore only lost twice all season, earning first place in the West and managing to keep a sizable yet scattered empire. Cleveland (brown) was first in the East, and they beat Baltimore in the championship game, played in Cleveland. Cleveland didn't get much of an empire, though, due to an early home draw with second-place St. Louis (magenta) and a home loss to sixth-place Pittsburgh (yellow), coupled with failing to beat big landholders in away games. In the Western Conference, Green Bay (kelly green) and Minnesota (violet) tied for second, both with decent empires.

Here is the map before the season started:

Oh look. San Francisco lost their capital.
