Daaaaa Bears! by Egantx7

Question 5

On 8 December 1940, both the Bears and this opposing team had 17 first downs, with this team outgaining the Bears in the air, 223 to 119 yards. However, the Bears had a rare berserker outburst of offensive proficiency, hanging 73 points on this team without surrendering a point, leading to numerous rumors that the game was fixed. Identify this team that lost the 1940 NFL Championship to the Bears by a margin of victory that remains the largest in NFL history (the geographic name will be sufficient).
