The 1925 Frankford Yellow Jackets season was their second in the National Football League. The team improved on their previous output of 11–2–1, winning thirteen league games[1] to finish the season in sixth place.[2] The team's overall record, against league and non-league opponents in 1925 was 15–7. They set the unofficial record for most games played in a season during the years before the league went to a fixed-length schedule: they played 20 NFL games (plus at least 2 more against non-NFL opponents.) Even counting playoff games, no NFL team has since played more than 20 games in a season. 3 of their players(Rae Crowther, Tex Hamer, and Bill Hoffman) played in 19 of the 20 games that counted, a record that still stands.
