The team set the record for most games played in a season during the years before the league went to a fixed-length schedule, playing an astonishing 22-game season, including two contests against non-NFL opponents. Three Frankford players (Rae Crowther, Tex Hamer, and Bill Hoffman) played in 19 of 20 regular season league games — a record that still stands. Even counting playoff games, no NFL team played more than 20 games in a season until the 2021 NFL season when the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams each played 21 games including 17 regular-season games and 4 playoff games on their way to Super Bowl LVI. The Yellow Jackets' +21 point differential was the lowest by a team with a minimum of 13 wins, until the 2022 Minnesota Vikings came around, with a 13–4 record and a -3 point differential.
