With the 2024 NFL season just around the corner, we count down some of the worst records in the league since 2000 – with some memorably poor teams making the list.
Worst Regular Season Records In The NFL Since 2000
9. Carolina Panthers – 2023
Last year’s Carolina Panthers just scrape into the list of worst records in the 2000’s, despite having the first pick in the draft where they selected Bryce Young at quarterback.
