1942 Lions
1941 Rams

The team with the best record who is the worst statistically in its year is the 1988 Chargers who had an easy schedule and went 6-10 with three wins that were within one score.

The team that the formula finds to be the single worst since 1941 is the 1991 Colts.

Also, the 1956 Eagles who went 3-8-1 hold the record for highest winning percentage by a team with the worst record in the NFL.

Surprised the 1963 Jets were the worst considering they finished 5-8-1? Of course with Dick Wood at QB, the offense could be feast or famine. Weeb Ewbank was looking to build the offensive line before worrying about skill positions.

Weeb has been criticized for being a cheap GM, which has merit but the Jets lost a million dollars in 1963, trying to transition from the Wismer years in the Polo Grounds to their new home in Shea, and Weeb was determined to keep costs down while looking for hungry, talented players to complement the huge signing of Namath. Paid off well, though deferring to the Mets at Shea was always a thorn in their side.

Its crazy how much the Colts declined once Bert Jones got hurt in 1978. I had never heard of Bill Troup. Not even from John Maxymus' book about QBs ...
