NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:
Well, it’s complicated.
Detroit tied Pittsburgh in overtime. But apparently the NFL is playing 17 games this season? Who knew?
(No, really. I didn’t.)
So it is still theoretically possible for Detroit to go 0-16…and 1. Does that count?
Reply hazy. Ask again in week 17, assuming Detroit hasn’t won one by then.
I of course am in Michigan, and have to say that you are possibly safe in assuming that Detroit won’t win a game by the end of the season. There are lots of reasons, with a lot of our fans wanting to blame our new quarterback, Jared Goff. I don’t agree, I think it is mostly the fact that they do not have any real deep threat from a quality wide receiver, who can catch the ball, or even get past the defensive safeties.
The teams new coach, Dan Campbell, seems to be doing all the right things, that he can do, with a team that has seen some of their key offensive line players go down with injuries. And Goff, while playing OK, does have to step up, knowing that the team is simply not very good, or their patience with him will falter, and he will become the scapegoat.
