How many NFL teams went 0-16 in 2017? It’s a question that’s been on a lot of people’s minds since the end of the season. Here’s a look at the answer.
The 2017 NFL Season
It was a tough season for a lot of teams, but especially for those that went 0-16. That’s right, in 2017, there were four teams that didn’t win a single game. The Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, New York Giants, and the Buffalo Bills all had a record of 0-16.
The teams that went 0-16 in 2017
In 2017, the NFL saw two teams go 0-16 – the Cleveland Browns and the San Francisco 49ers. This was the first time in NFL history that two teams had gone winless in the same season.
The Browns were widely expected to be one of the worst teams in the league, but they still managed to surprise many with their complete lack of competitive play. The 49ers, on the other hand, were coming off of a 2-14 season in 2016 and were not expected to be much better in 2017. However, they managed to stay competitive in many of their games and only lost by more than one score four times all season.
Despite their best efforts, neither team was able to get a win in 2017. The Browns came close on several occasions, but they ultimately fell short each time. The 49ers also had a few close calls, but they were never able to get over the hump. As a result, both teams will forever be remembered as the first (and so far only) 0-16 teams in NFL history.

The teams that are least likely to go 0-16 in 2018
The Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, and New York Jets are the teams most likely to go 0-16 in 2018, according to ESPN’s Football Power Index.
