If you subscribe to the NFL naming game someone proposed on another forum I visit, there are a lot of such. Washington finished the season as the "Washington Eagles" in this universe:

This season I'm following "the" Football Team just because :sombrero:.

....

I’ve decided I think I’ll call every team by "[City Name] Football Team" (or, for New York and LA, "[City Name] [NFC or AFC] Football Team") except for continuing to call the local team the Washington Redskins.

Let's spice things up a bit. "Football Team" gets to take an opponent's nickname when they win.

Washington beat Philadelphia in Week 1, so Washington is now the Eagles and Philadelphia is "Football Team." When Philadelphia wins their next game, they get to take the opponent's nickname and "Football Team" passes to them. See who gets stuck as "Football Team" at the end of the season.

(At the end of last year, this worked out to Washington Eagles, Philadelphia 49ers, San Francisco Rams, Los Angeles (NFC) Bears, Chicago Texans, and Houston Football Team.)
