Only one NFL franchise can win the Super Bowl every season, leaving the rest to be judged from great to bad. And over the past two decades, a group of NFL franchises have put up historically bad numbers, etching their names into the wrong kind of history book.
In the last 20 years, the Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Washington Commanders have struggled to be competitive year after year, leading to disappointed records, unhappy fans, and a disgruntled front office who are usually quick to make panic decisions in an act to change their luck.
These franchises stand out as NFL entities that have experienced prolonged disappointment in the locker room caused by poor on-field performance, instability within the organization, and friction between the coaching staff and players.
