History
Kansas City's chief problem in the early days of the NFL was location. Most of the league's teams just didn't want to travel that far west. For that matter, Kansas City teams didn't want to travel very far east. The Kansas City Blues entered the NFL in 1924. They had a 2-7-0 record, without playing a team from farther east than Hammond, Indiana.
At least the Blues had four home games that season. In 1925, they played all of their games on the road, including a visit to New York, and went 2-5-1.
That may well have been the end of the franchise, but in 1926 the NFL was rounding up as many teams as possible to keep them out of the rival American Football League. Renamed the Cowboys, Kansas City played its first nine games on the road, then finished the season with two home games. The club finished fourth with an 8-3-0 record, but that was bit deceptive. The best team the Cowboys faced was the seventh-place New York Giants, and seven of the victories came against teams with losing records.
The AFL folded after the 1926 and the NFL moved to consolidate, geographically and numerically. The Kansas City franchise was dissolved and many of the players went to the new Cleveland Bulldogs team. Among them was player-coach Roy Andrews, who holds the NFL record for most teams coached with five. Andrews later coached the Detroit Wolverines, New York Giants, and Chicago Cardinals.
