With open free agency, a worst-to-first draft, a salary cap and, more importantly, a salary floor, no franchise should be capable of going winless in a season. Yet, it’s happened twice with the 2017 Cleveland Browns and 2008 Lions both going 0-16.ĭetroit has the distinction of being the first NFL team to ever go 0-16. They were the first non-expansion team to go winless in a non strike year since World War II. Ironically enough, one of those winless WWII teams were, you guessed it, the 1942 Detroit Lions.

Can the Lions be the first team in league history to go 0-17?Īt some point you have to actively root for it, right? Their schedule is not favorable for a completely defeated season.
