Who Has the Best Record in the NFL?

We take a look at who has the best record in the NFL, and whether they can maintain their spot at the top of the standings.

The NFL’s Overall Winningest Teams

The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league. The NFL was formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) before renaming itself the National Football League for the 1922 season. As of the end of the 2019 season, the NFL has 32 teams, and play two games a week during the season which runs from September to December.

The Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers have the best record in the NFL. They have a record of 13-3. They have won 13 games and lost 3 games.

The New England Patriots

The New England Patriots have the most wins in NFL history. With a record of 571-395-9, they have won more than any other team in the NFL. The Patriots have played in ten Super Bowls, winning seven of them. They are also the most successful team of the 21st century, with a .731 winning percentage since 2000.

The Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl wins with six and are tied for the most appearances with the New England Patriots, who also have six. The Green Bay Packers are third with four wins. The New York Giants and the San Francisco 49ers have each won five times.

The NFL’s Overall Losers

The NFL has been around for quite a while now, and there have been plenty of teams who have come and gone. But which team has the worst record in the NFL? Surprisingly, it’s a tie between two teams.

The Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions have the worst record in the NFL. They have only won one game so far this season.

The Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns are a professional American football team based in Cleveland, Ohio. The Browns compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the American Football Conference (AFC) North division. The Browns play their home games at FirstEnergy Stadium, which opened in 1999, with administrative offices and training facilities in Berea, Ohio. The Browns’ official colors are brown, orange, and white. They are unique among the 32 member franchises of the NFL in that they do not have a logo on their helmets.

The franchise was founded in 1945 by businessman Arthur B. Modell. The Browns dominated the All-America Football Conference (AAFC), compiling a 47–4–3 record in its four years under head coach Paul Brown from 1946 to 1949. When the AAFC folded after the 1949 season, the Browns joined the NFL along with three other AAFC teams; they were placed in the Western Conference. Cleveland won a championship in their inaugural NFL season, as well as in 1954, 1955, and 1964. From 1965 to 1995, they did not appear in the NFL Championship Game or Super Bowl; they participated in 14 playoff games during this period but never reached the game’s pinnacle. In 1995, owner Art Modell announced plans to move the team to Baltimore, Maryland; this sparked controversy and sparked legal action from then-Mayor Michael R. White and the city of Cleveland filed an injunction to block the move on May 11th of that year (which was ultimately settled between both parties). After more than a year of delays and court battles which featured two federal lawsuits brought by then-Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro on behalf of then-Governor George V. Voinovich as well as several stadium lease violations by Modell’s Ravens organization after he had already announced his decision to move despite all other legal disputes being settled (which violated an agreement he had made with Voinovich), Modell finally agreed to void his lease at what was then named Cleveland Stadium and leave for Charm City on March 28th 1996 where his team would eventually be renamed simply as “Baltimore.”

In 1999 following owner Art Modell’s relocation of his franchise to Baltimore (where it took on its current name%), football returned to Cleveland when billionaire entrepreneur Al Lerner purchased an expansion team which took up residence at newly built FirstEnergy Stadium (formerly named “Browns Stadium”). Although Lerner promised 5-year season ticket holders tickets for life upon purchasing their season tickets prior to FirstEnergy Stadium’s opening if they so desired it, many fans still felt betrayed by Modell’s actions nearly half a decade earlier and turned away from supporting what was essentially an expansion franchise starting off with a 23 game losing streak which didn’t end until December 7th 2002 – meaning that for those fans who held onto their season tickets during that trying time frame had essentially witnessed 3 seasons’ worth of futility all while paying top dollar prices for non-competitive football resulting in attendance figures bottoming out at less than 40% capacity for many home games played during that 23 game skid though such struggles would prove only temporary as following 3 consecutive double digit win seasons culminating with a 10-6 record and just missing out on qualifying for postseason play in 2007 under then head coach Romeo Crennel – one year later led by second year QB Brady Quinn and third year RB Jamal Lewis – your 2008 Cleveland Browns went on capture their first playoff berth since returning to the league as newly minted members of what was then known as “AFC North” division following realignment moving them out of their former AFC Central home where ironically enough despite playing 2nd fiddle behind perennial powerhouse Pittsburgh Steelers throughout much if not most of their first 11 seasons post-relocation – your 2018 Baltimore Ravens captured both AFC North division crown as well three consecutive trips deep into postseason including winning Lombardi Trophy following victories over New York Jets ensuing AFC Championship game followed by taking down San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in thrilling come from behind fashion courtesy late 4th quarter TD pass QB Joe Flacco leading Ravens Engineering worst ever playoff defeat suffered 49ers franchise dating back over 70 years since Inaugural NFL season played 1920 49ers losing 38 14 road trip East Coast take on eventual league champion New York Giants Polo Grounds located Harlem section Manhattan

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the dubious distinction of having the worst record in the NFL. They are currently 0-8 on the season and have been outscored by a total of 154 points. They have lost four games by double digits and their only win came against the lowly New York Jets.

The Buccaneers have struggled on both sides of the ball this season. Offensively, they are averaging just 16 points per game, which is ranked 28th in the NFL. They are also turnover prone, as they have coughed up the ball 19 times this season. Defensively, they are giving up 30 points per game, which is ranked 30th in the league.

The good news for Buccaneers fans is that there is still plenty of time for things to turn around. The bad news is that it’s hard to see how this team can turn things around given their current form. Either way, it’s been a rough start to the season for the Bucs and their fans.
