Who will be the NFL’s last winless team in 2024?

Who will be the NFL’s last winless team in 2024? originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

Through three weeks, 29 NFL teams have found the win column.

The Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars and Cincinnati Bengals, meanwhile, are still searching.

All three of those teams fell to 0-3 with some brutal defeats in Week 3. The Titans fell to former draft pick Malik Willis and the Green Bay Packers, the Jags got steamrolled by the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football and the Bengals couldn’t stop Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders in another Monday matchup.

While being the last undefeated team in the NFL hasn’t led to Super Bowl success in nearly 20 years, the last winless team has routinely finished as one of the worst teams in the league.

In the last 10 years, only once has the final winless team gone on to win more than three games. There is a silver lining, though, as the team with that distinction has also ended up with a top-two draft pick each year dating back to the 2016 season.
