The Cleveland Browns
Their record
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 helmet logo.
The Browns have had rivalries with other teams over the years, most notably the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens.
The Browns began play in 1946 as a charter member of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC). Their franchise was founded by businessman Arthur B. McBride and coach Paul Brown as a reply to the success of the Los Angeles Rams in that league. The Browns won four AAFC championships – in 1950, 1951, 1952, and 1955 – before joining the NFL as part of the AFL–NFL merger of 1970. Through 1962, they reached the NFL Championship six times; winning in 1950, 1954, 1955, and 1956), but lost each time to the squads representing New York City: first to the New York Yankees (AAFC) on four occasions (1950), then to the New York Giants once more (1956). Since joining the NFL, they have reached seven playoff games but lost each one — five times to their historic rivals from Pittsburgh (in 1994 1999 2002 2004 2013), as well as once to Dallas Cowboys (1996) and once toBaltimore Ravens(2002). They did win their lone pre-merger NFL championship game appearance on January 2 ,1966 over future archrival Baltimore Colts 27–0 en route πto an eventualLou Groza 30–28 triple overtime loss at then nationally second ranked Miami Hurricanes on January 17Despite their lackfulness from winning championships or even playing for one for that manner ,from 1999–2016 ,they were notable for having longest active playoff drought in major American professional sports spanning 17 seasons which had since been surpassed by Major League Baseball’s Seattle Mariners surpassing 18 seasons without making playoffs since 2001 until finally ending drought by clinching AL’s final wild card spot on September 29 ,2018 also note that while they went 0-16 becoming only 2nd team after Detroit Lions going 0-16 back in 2008 ,oddly enough they clinched first overall pick during 2017 NFL Draft used it to selectMyles Garrett who became one many talented players currently on current roster includingPro Bowl quarterback Baker Mayfield ,running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt ,and defensive end Oliver Vernon among others resulting them having talented young core group set for years to come currently under head coach Kevin Stefanski who led them winning11 games for first time since winning10 back during 2007 en route to first playoff berth since 2002 resulting them defeating defending champions Pittsburgh Steelers 48-37 postgame Stefanski being presented with AFC North championship trophy also win being their first playoff win since 1994 Wild Card game .With all that being said it wouldn’t be surprising if they snapped their 18 year long drought without appearing or even playing for Super Bowl this up coming 2020 season .
Their recent draft history
The Browns have had a lot of success in the NFL Draft in recent years. However, they have not been able to turn that success into winning on the field. They have had some good players, but they have not been able to put it all together.
In the past few years, the Browns have drafted:
-QB Baker Mayfield (1st overall, 2018)
-RB Nick Chubb (35th overall, 2018)
-WR Jarvis Landry (63rd overall, 2014)
-DE Myles Garrett (1st overall, 2017)
-CB Denzel Ward (4th overall, 2018)
The Browns have also had some success in free agency, signing WR Odell Beckham Jr. and DE Olivier Vernon in 2019.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are currently the worst team in the NFL. They have a record of 2-14 and have lost their last 12 games. They have the worst offense in the NFL, scoring only 14.6 points per game. Their defense is also the worst in the league, giving up 30.8 points per game.
Their record
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are currently the worst team in the NFL with a record of 0-7. They have been outscored by their opponents by a total of 154 points, which is the worst point differential in the league. The Buccaneers have not won a game since Week 17 of last season, when they defeated the New Orleans Saints.
Their recent draft history
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a lot of success in the NFL Draft recently. In 2019, they took Devin White with the 5th overall pick. He was named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. In 2020, they took Tristan Wirfs with the 13th overall pick. He was named to the NFL All-Rookie team. In 2021, they took Kyle Pitts with the 4th overall pick. He is considered one of the best tight end prospects in NFL history. However, their recent draft history is not all positive. In 2018, they took Vita Vea with the 12th overall pick. He has been injury-prone and has not lived up to his potential. In 2017, they took O.J. Howard with the 19th overall pick. He has been inconsistent and has not become the star that many thought he would be.
The Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills are the worst team in the NFL. They have a record of 2-14 and they are currently on a 14 game losing streak. They have been outscored by their opponents by a total of 414 points, which is the most in the NFL. They have also allowed the most points per game, with an average of 31.4.
Their record
The Buffalo Bills are a professional American football team based in the Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area. The Bills compete in the National Football League (NFL), as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The team plays their home games at New Era Field in Orchard Park, New York. The Bills are the only NFL team that plays their home games in the state of New York after the New York Jets and New York Giants left for MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The franchise was founded in 1959 as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL), and joined the NFL as part of the AFL–NFL merger in 1970. The Bills have played in thirty-six playoff games, and won four AFC Championships. They are also the only team to appear in four consecutive Super Bowl games, all of which they lost. The team is owned by Terry Pegula, who purchased the club in 2014 from former owner Ralph Wilson Jr..
Since 1988, the Bills have been Tormenta’s official mascot.
Their recent draft history
The Buffalo Bills have not had a winning season since 2004, and they have not made the playoffs since 1999. Their recent draft history has been abysmal, and they have not selected a Pro Bowl player since 2006. They have had seven head coaches in the last 10 years, and their current coach, Sean McDermott, is their third head coach in the last three years. The Bills are a mess, and there is no end in sight to their misery.
The San Francisco 49ers
Their record
With a 2-14 record, the San Francisco 49ers are currently the worst team in the NFL. They have lost 12 games in a row, and their last win came against the Los Angeles Rams back in Week 1. During their losing streak, the 49ers have been outscored by an average of 12.8 points per game. In total, they have given up 30 or more points 11 times this season.
Their recent draft history
The San Francisco 49ers have had a rough few years. They haven’t made the playoffs since 2013, and their win-loss record over the past three seasons is an abysmal 13-35. Part of the reason for their struggles has been their inability to draft and develop talent. Since 2015, they have spent six first- or second-round picks on defensive players, and none of them have made a significant impact. This is a big part of why the 49ers defense ranks near the bottom of the league in most statistical categories.
