Aaron Naughton is mobbed by teammates after one of his six goals. In 2001, the Columbus Wardogs made history becoming the first American football team to finish a season 0–16.

Marinelli's first Lions season provided an unfortunate prelude, with the Lions joining the Raiders and Titans as 0-5 teams. Rod Marinelli has long been one of the league's better defensive coordinators, but the then-third-year Lions head coach's team ranked last defensively.

Carolina finished 4-12, wasting a 15-sack Kevin Greene season.

He showed this afternoon what he is capable of," Beveridge said.

Veterans Rory Sloane and Taylor Walker were poor, but Nicks said criticising just them was unfair. One such team, the Toronto Triumph, did not win a game in either of their competing seasons in 2011 and 2012.

"It [Crows winless streak] is reality.

From the time of the formation of the Victorian Football League in 1896 until it was dissolved in 1995, the VFA was the second-tier club competition in Victoria. No AFL/VFL team has gone winless in a season since Fitzroy in 1964. Cleveland did make the 2002 playoffs, however, but that was a notable aberration. Indianapolis started 0-9 and fired Ron Meyer midway through his sixth season. In the case of non-professional teams, neither mechanisms to force a team to shut down against its will, nor effective drafts or revenue sharing mechanisms to distribute talent evenly among teams typically exist, leading to poor teams accumulating multiple winless seasons.

The Raiders beat the Chiefs on a November Thursday night, but a strange fourth-quarter celebration sequence nearly cost them that game.

An 0-8 start led to the franchise parting ways with former first-round pick Marshawn Lynch. Longest winless season in NSWRL/NRL history.

The Los Angeles Reign lost all ten games it played during the league's (and team's) three-year existence. A winless season is a regular season in which a sports team fails to win any of their games. It put them winless through 11 games - almost double their previous worst-ever start to a season - and with just six matches remaining, they’re running out of time to give rookie coach Matthew Nicks a first win. Also unlike the NFL, the CFL has always awarded "points" in the standings that, in effect, have always counted ties as "half-wins" so a team with only ties and losses in the standings has never been regarded as having an imperfect season. We don’t hide from it," Nicks said. Robert Griffin III, Josh McCown and rookie Cody Kessler started games for Cleveland, which began 0-14.

Only two county teams have ever finished a season with only losses in a program of eight or more games: Teams losing or drawing every game in a first-class county season have been rather less exceptional, though by no means frequent:[30]. They gave the job to Cameron, previously the Chargers' OC, but lost their first 13 games that year.

"It’s hard to put it on one player after a performance like that," the coach said. Bad Bengals starts were once commonplace. As a result of the expansion of the NSWRL from 1947 onwards, the season has been lengthened gradually with a few intermissions.

The National Indoor Football League went its first three seasons without a winless season, but beginning in 2004, at least one team went winless every year until the league's collapse in 2007. The NHL played an 80-game season in 1974–75, whereas in 1992–93 the schedule consisted of 84 games, thus giving the Senators the percentage record for worst road record.
