But the team was so successful by 1921 that Lambeau was backed by two officials of the packing plant in obtaining a franchise (Aug. 27, 1921) in the new national pro football league that had been formed in 1920.
So, they got their first championship 9 years AFTER they joined the NFL.
And here are the 12 championships IN THE NFL:

Which team do you cheer for & how many championships do they have??? |
I'm a 49ers fan. Always have been. Always will be.
The "NFL" as we know it didn't come into being until its merger with the American Football League (1960-1969). You can count whatever you want to count before Super Bowl I, but since that is now the naming convention for championships, they have only been officially counted since 1/15/1967 when the Packers beat KC in Los Angeles.
Since then, the Packers, for example, have only won 3. The 49ers have only won 5.
I'm merely pointing out that you need to asterisk your collection of championships for all teams you listed as they were not all (either) A. In existence simultaneously B. In the same league C. In a competing league or D. Playing against eachother at all.
