After a disastrous 3-11 season played before tiny crowds, the franchise was shifted to Brooklyn and renamed after the famous baseball team.
Andy Robustelli was the Dodgers' head coach, while Tom Kennedy, who also played with the club when it was in Providence in 1965, was the starting quarterback.
After Kennedy led the Continental in passing (191-for-316, 2559 yards and 18 TDs), he was signed by the New York Giants;[2] afterwards, ex-TCU star Sonny Gibbs took over behind center.
Finally, the club signed a deal to play their home games at Downing Stadium on Randall's Island—quite a distance from Brooklyn.
Even at Downing, the Dodgers apparently had trouble securing dates; a season-ticket application showed only five home games[4] in a fourteen-game schedule.
