Actually the NFL began in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association in Canton, OH.The NFL started in 1932 and until 1947 varied from 10-12 games and then from 47-60 12 games; 60-78 14 games; 78-2021 16 games and 17 since 2021
So bluntly speaking George Halas would have a LOT more wins looking at it that way. Probably near 400.
Tom would not have gotten all that many more regular season games but probably another 10-15.
BUT playoffs would have been a fair number more for him and of course Halas and other older coaches.
So this particular stat needs an asterisk
Then in 1922 it got its current National Football League name.
Grandpa Google traces the first time somebody got paid to play football as far back as1892.
