Prior to the season, Brooklyn businessmen William B. Dwyer and John C. Depler bought the Dayton Triangles, moved it, and renamed it the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Orange Tornadoes relocated to Newark and the Buffalo Bisons and the Boston Bulldogs dropped out. The Portsmouth Spartans entered as a new team. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers were named the NFL champions for the second straight year after they finished the season with a league best 10-3-1. However, they were only percentage points better than the New York Giants, who finished 13-4. Of course, this was before the league made balanced uniform schedules. Most of the teams played a different number of games, so it was always interesting to see how the win-loss records would play out. And since there were no playoffs, there were no second chances at winning the NFL Championship.  Either you finished with the best record, or you did not win the championship. And in this particular season, it really came down to the wire. In Week Thirteen, the Giants beat the Yellow Jackets, 14–6, while the Packers lost to the Bears, 21–0, cutting Green Bay's hold on first place to 4/10ths of a percentage point, .769 to .765; the Giants finished their season at 13–4–0, while 10–3–0 Green Bay had a final game at Portsmouth. A loss would have given the Packers a 10–4–0 finish and a .714 percentage, and given the Giants .765 a championship. A tie (10–3–1 and .769) or a win (11–3–0 and .785) would assure Green Bay the 1930 title. On December 14, the Packers scored on Red Dunn's touchdown pass to Wuert Engelmann, but the point after by Verne Lewellen failed, and their lead was 6–0. Chuck Bennett ran for a touchdown for the Spartans, but the extra point attempt by Tiny Lewis was blocked, and when the game ended, the 6–6 tie gave the Packers the 1930 title.
