The 1927 Frankford Yellow Jackets season was their fourth in the National Football League. The team failed to improve on their previous output of 14–1–2, winning only six league games[https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/fyj/1927.htm 1927 Frankford Yellow Jackets] to finish in seventh place in the league standings.[http://www.profootballarchives.com/1927nflfra.html Pro Football Archives 1927 Frankford Yellow Jackets season]
During the 1927 season the Yellow Jackets played 7 sets of home-and-away back-to-back games — a unique scheduling idiosyncrasy. Always playing the home game first, Frankford was shut out on the back end of 5 of these 7 home-and-away pairings.
Thirteen of the 18 games played by the Yellow Jackets were home at Frankford Stadium.
