The 1923 Rochester Jeffersons season was their fourth in the league. The team equaled their previous output of 0âÂÂ4âÂÂ1, going 0âÂÂ4. They tied for nineteenth place in the league. They allowed at least 50 points in back to back games in Weeks 1 and 2, the only NFL team to do so until the 2014 Chicago Bears did so in Weeks 8 and 10.
A protest was lodged over the Week 2 game by the Rock Island Independents, charging that Rochester had misrepresented its lineup, brought in lesser substitute players, and therefore breached their contract. The 1924 annual league meeting, held in Chicago in January, heard the dispute and decided in Rochester's favor, awarding the team the appearance guarantee that Rock Island sought to withhold.
