What about 0-16 ?
The prize for the 2008 Lions going 0-16 was QB Matt Stafford. The 2017 0-16 Browns were rewarded with QB Baker Mayfield. Everyone is now happy.:D

1998 gets an asterisk too. Both teams were 14-2, one of them had to lose, and despite what Minnesota fans want to tell you, those were the two best teams in the NFL that year.

The same for 1986. Giants and Bears.

That Vikings team was pretty bad ass. Won 13 games by double digits. Averaged almost 35 PPG. Gary Anderson...perfect on kicks all season and he misses the one that would've put the game away in the NFC Championship. What a pisser.

You've gotta be a badass team to get to 15-1, but the Falcons were 14-2 and beat them in their house and people talk like it's the upset of the century.

Denver was winning that Super Bowl either way IMO.
