I could be wrong, just don't remember that name.
No, I checked. There was never a Garfield in the NFL. I missed it. (There have been a few McKinley's)
Like I said, Garfield is not a common name. Only other Garfield I have heard of was actor John Garfield. And I don't think I have ever heard of anyone else named Taft that was not associated with the William Howard Taft family.. Have any of you?

Here is today's Trivia Question......actually a 3 part question....about certain Champions:
A. Name each of the AFL Pre-Super Bowl Champions 1960-1965.
B. Name each of the AAFC Champions 1946-1949
C. Name each of the NFL Champions....from 1920-1929! Hint here: Of the 10 Champions from that decade, 6 of them are now defunct.
Edit: Clarifying....4 teams are defunct, but the account for 6 titles.

Well I'll just do the obvious one...
B. 1946 Cleveland, 1947 Cleveland, 1948 Cleveland, 1949 Cleveland
A. I don't know who won for what year, but I'm pretty sure Buffalo won in '64 or '65, and the Chargers won one or two during that span...

These are all correct answers. (Chargers were 1963)
So we have the Browns winning all four AAFC titles, and the San Diego Chargers winning the '63 AFL Championship, and the Buffalo Bills winning the '64 and '65 AFL Championships (while playing at the Buffalo War Memorial Stadium, known to many as the home of the New York Knights in the movie 'The Natural'.)

I'm pretty sure the Houston Oilers won the title in one or both of the first two seasons of the AFL?

What's the reason?
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

Jon, Jacob, Jingle-Heimer Schmidt, his name is my name too.

What's the reason?
Reason for what? Doing trivia? Shits and giggles/entertainment. Asking to match NFL figures with Presidents? When I try to come up with something every day, sometimes I have to get creative with the topics...and come up with some quirky, indiosyncratic questions .
Why post the filmography of John Garfield? Just because he is the only other (real) person I think any of us have ever heard of with that last name. Unless you can think of someone else. And, like I said, I don't think I have ever heard of anyone else named Taft...that was not associated with the political Taft family.
The one name that I would have figured that no one else ever had would have been Roosevelt. Clearly likely a rare name among the general populace, but since we have had 2 Presidents by that name, it does not seem terribly unusual...though it probably is. There WAS one NFL guy by that name though......Naman Roosevelt, who I do know was African-American, and not of Dutch descent (Roosevelt being Dutch....translation: Rose Field). His family probably somehow adopted the name after being freed slaves as did so many who adopted the names Washington, Jefferson, Jackson....after former Presidents.

Last time I looked, none of those are or ever were football teams.
But, here we go: There is one more AFL champion to be named, plus all the NFL champions from the 1920s. Further hint: there are 8 teams to be name here. Four are defunct....but 4 are still going.

I am diverging from the usual pattern here today, by asking a series of questions rather than a single question with multiple answers. These all involve the Browns 2019 season:
1. What opponent did the Browns score the most points against ?
2. What opponent did the Browns score the least points against?
3. What opponent scored the least points against the Browns?
4. What opponent scored the most points against the Browns?
5. Who was the leading rusher for the Browns?
6. Who was the leading receiver (yards, catches, TDs all the same)?
7. Who is the ONLY player besides Baker Mayfield to throw a pass completion for the Browns?
8. Who made the most tackles for the Browns?
9. Who had the most (defensive) interceptions?
10. Who had the most forced fumbles?
