Our simulation begins in 1941, just one week following the Pearl Harbor attacks that ushered the US into World War II. While the US government is beginning to prepare for war, the NFL, a 20-year old enterprise, is preparing for the postseason.
The Chicago Bears are looking to repeat as champions and carry a 10-1 record into the postseason. They won the title in 1940 by destroying the Washington Redskins, 73-0. Chicago is led by QB Sid Luckman, LG Danny Fortmann, RB George McAfee, and C Clyde (Bulldog) Turner. They are joined in the postseason by the #2 seed, (10-1) Green Bay, led by league MVP LE Don Hutson and QB Cecil Isbell, the #3 seed, (8-3) New York Giants, led by LT John Mellus and C Mel Hein, and the #4 seed, (7-4) Brooklyn Dodgers, led by FB Pug Manders and LE Perry Schwartz.
