1929 Dayton Triangles Season
The 1929 Dayton Triangles season was their tenth and final season in the league before the franchise was sold and moved to Brooklyn. The team did not improve on their previous output of 0–7, losing all six games they played bringing their losing streak up to 17 games. Hence, they were winless for two consecutive seasons. This feat would be duplicated by the 1943 and 1944 Chicago Cardinals; however, the NFL does not consider that to be the longest losing streak, as the Cardinals combined with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1944 season. As a traveling team, they played all six games on the road, finishing twelfth in the league. The franchise was sold and relocated to Brooklyn after the season, losing its final seventeen games spanning three seasons. During this stretch, the team was outscored 301–22. With the team's ceasing operations in Dayton, the NFL lost is longest-lasting traveling team (1920–1929), and the final traveling team until the Dallas Texans in 1952, though th ...

1929 Buffalo Bisons Season
The 1929 Buffalo Bisons season was their ninth and final season in the league. The team marginally improved on their previous output of 0–5, winning one game. They finished tenth in the league. After suspending operations halfway through the 1927 season, the Buffalo Bisons, name intact, returned for what turned out to be a farewell season, with Al Jolley (a former player for the Oorang Indians) taking over as head coach. Jolley's dubious trademark was his teams' lack of offensive production; the Bisons never scored more than 7 points in the entire season (they had been shut out thrice) until their final game, a 19–7 win over the Chicago Bears (ironically, the very team that had robbed them of a league title at the peak of the team's success in 1921). In their first seven games, the Bisons never led during regulation, holding this dubious feat until the 2012 Kansas City Chiefs broke the record at eight games during regulation. This was, however, still an improvement from thei ...
