The '''[[1921 NFL season|1921]] [[Rochester Jeffersons]] season''' was their second completed in the young [[American Professional Football Association]] (APFA), soon to be renamed the National Football League. The team failed to improve on their [[1920 Rochester Jeffersons season|previous record against league teams]] of 6–3–2, winning only two games.<ref>[https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rch/1921.htm 1921 Rochester Jeffersons]</ref> They finished tenth in the league.<ref>[http://www.profootballarchives.com/1921apfaroc.html 1921 Rochester Jeffersons (APFA)]</ref> The Union Quakers were able to arrange a game with Rochester to make up for the loss of a game between the Quakers and the [[Canton Bulldogs]]. The Jeffersons played the Quakers to a 3–3 tie. Since the Jeffs were losing large amounts of money during the 1921 season and needed the revenue from the Union Quakers game, the APFA decided to not interfere.<ref>[http://home.comcast.net/~ghostsofthegridiron/Quakers2.htm/ Ghoss of the Gridiron] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111022090253/http://home.comcast.net/~ghostsofthegridiron/Quakers2.htm |date=October 22, 2011 }}, which tracks the Football history of the Union Club of Philadelphia</ref>
