4. Detroit Lions (2008)
Elite athletes always talk about making history. But becoming the first team to go 0-16 isn’t exactly what fans expect. The Lions have endured some horrendous moments over the past couple of decades. However, this was the worst moment in their history. The Browns emulated their feat in 2017, Detroit was the first. Rival fans will always have this in their back pockets to use against them.

An overcooked Daunte Culpepper offered nothing. Rod Marinelli also gave his back-ups a chance to no avail. In the end, they achieved a -249 point differential. Their defense was one of the worst the NFL has ever seen. Calvin Johnson was the single bright light in this shocking year and still managed a 1300-yard season. But 2008 made many Lions fans cry with rage and despair (via The Ringer).
