There is a Potsdam NY which is the hometown of former NFL DE Trevor Scott. And there is a college there (Potsdam State), but they don't have a football team.
And the original NFL team I was thinking of was not one of the original teams in 1920, but the Pottsville Maroons were one of the best teams in the league in '25 (10-2) and '26 (10-2-2). In fact the scrappy boys from small-town Pennsylvania actually won the NFL Championship game against the big-city Chicago Cardinals and finished with the bets record in the league. But the title was stripped by the NFL President because the Maroons had played an unauthorized game against a Notre Dame All-Star team that year.
