The NFL season has seen a notable trend with a record-tying nine teams already losing at least six games in the first eight weeks. This occurrence has only happened once before in the 2000 season. The AFC East division has three struggling teams, with the New York Jets, New England Patriots, and Miami Dolphins all at 2-6 or worse, allowing the Buffalo Bills to lead the division at 6-2.
Other divisions facing similar challenges include the AFC South, with Jacksonville and Tennessee at the bottom, and the NFC South, with New Orleans and Carolina struggling. The New Orleans Saints, despite starting 2-0, have now lost six consecutive games, joining a select group of teams in NFL history.
