Worst Seasons by an NFL Team
By far the worst season, losing every game and allowing the second-most points all time. However, jdsoaresfamily2 you are wrong, they actually won their full pre-season and were considered early playoff favorites.
The worst of the worst. Possibly the worst franchise in all pro sports since 1960 sunk to an all-time low in 2008 (0-16). And the stench of the Matt Millen era will linger for a couple more years.
To lose a majority of games is one thing. It becomes one hell of a feat to lose every single game in the season and setting a new record in the process.
They were a first-year expansion team, so I guess they have an "excuse", unlike the Lions.
(Sarcasm alert) Congrats Cleveland, you have completed a perfect season. You've made history. Congrats on joining the other elite team known as the 2008 Lions. This has to be one of the biggest accomplishments in the last decade for you guys. You should hang a banner to honor your accomplishment.
Lost every game. Blew leads to the Jets, Vikings, Lions, and Packers. Choked miserably against the Titans and Steelers. Got destroyed by the Bengals, Texans, Ravens, and Bears.
Had Hue Jackson as a 1-31 coach and still kept him around. DeShone Kizer at QB. Weren't favored in any game all season in 2016 or 2017. They should have just stayed defunct.
I still have respect, but this was bad.
It was kind of funny just listening to guys ask, "Is this the week the Dolphins finally win a game?"
They haven't won a game in a year and a half. Something has to be wrong with the management, it's that simple. Fire the lot of them and start over. Couldn't do any worse than they are doing now. They did better when they first started back.
As a Browns fan, I am a bit shocked to not see them on here at least three times.
Ryan Leaf as QB. Jermaine Fazande leads the team in rushing with only 368 yards. I think that's enough to qualify this team as the worst team ever. I don't think any team in NFL history has ever shown as much offensive ineptitude as the 2000 San Diego Chargers.
Long before they were America's Team, they were just an expansion team. Tom Landry was the head coach, and the team included players like Eddie LeBaron, along with rookies Don Meredith and Don Perkins.
The Cowboys' only bright spot in their winless season was an exciting 31-31 tie against the New York Giants at Yankee Stadium.
However, this team also gave up 48 points in a game against the Cleveland Browns. Interestingly, this team was never shut out but didn't win a game either, ending the season with a record of 0-11-1.

The Newcomers
During the 2023-24 season, the Jacksonville Jaguars went from having a record of 8-3 all the way to 9-8 by losing 20-28 to the Tennessee Titans, which was one of the biggest chokes of the NFL season.
They were also eliminated from participating in the playoffs, letting the Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Houston Texans enter instead.
It felt so good that the Titans won and let the Steelers go to the playoffs. The Jags definitely deserved to get the Terrible Towel thrown at them!
The Patriots have been going downhill lately because of Bill Belichick.
NFL, for the love of God, if you're hearing this, please fire Mr. Belichick because he's basically washed up at this point, and he's making my favorite team lose. We're never gonna make the Super Bowl if he doesn't get his act right.
Hire a better coach who isn't washed-up or old news. The Patriots haven't had a good season since 2021. I just want to see my team win, not lose.
Led the Eagles late in the fourth quarter and blew the lead and lost.
