We’ve just entered Week 8 of the NFL season, but — since that’s nearly halfway through the regular season — some teams are already pretty much cooked.
There are four teams with just one win: the New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, and Carolina Panthers. If you’re a fan of any of those teams, for instance, your 2024 season is pretty much done, barring a huge miracle. And if you root for one of the seven two-win teams — the Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Giants, L.A. Rams, and New Orleans Saints — then you probably need a slightly smaller miracle. As the saying goes, there’s always next year.
As a matter of fact, it might be time to start thinking about next year. Pushing off your hopes to the next season is a tale as old as time. As a fan of the Philadelphia 76ers — perhaps the sports franchise most associated with tanking — I empathize with fans of bad NFL teams who have already turned their attention to the 2025 NFL Draft.
