2020 features 1st NFL season in 9 years with 0–10, 10–0 team — - today

Win­ning or los­ing 10 straight games to open the sea­son is a rel­a­tive­ly rare occurrence.

A sea­son in which teams have done both has hap­pened only a hand­ful of times before the Pitts­burgh Steel­ers (10–0) and New York Jets (0–10) pulled it off this season.

This is just the sixth sea­son in the Super Bowl era to fea­ture both a 10–0 team and 0–10 team and first time it has hap­pened since 2011. That year, the Pack­ers went 15–1 before los­ing their first play­off game, while the Colts fin­ished 2–14 after los­ing Pey­ton Man­ning to a sea­son-long neck injury.

The oth­er times it hap­pened were 2008 (10–0 Ten­nessee, 0–10 Detroit), 2007 (10–0 New Eng­land, 0–10 Mia­mi), 1984 (10–0 Mia­mi, 0–10 Buf­fa­lo and Hous­ton), and 1975 (10–0 Min­neso­ta and 0–10 San Diego).

In all, 17 teams start­ed 10–0 in the Super Bowl era before the Steel­ers did it this sea­son. Of those teams, six won the Super Bowl (2009 Saints, 1998 Bron­cos, 1991 Wash­ing­ton, 1990 Giants, 1985 Bears and unde­feat­ed 1972 Dolphins).

Four oth­ers lost the title game, includ­ing the Patri­ots in 2007 after the only 16–0 reg­u­lar sea­son in NFL hsi­to­ry. The oth­er sev­en lost ear­li­er in the playoffs.

Of the 21 pre­vi­ous teams to start 0–10 in the Super Bowl era, three end­ed up win­less with the 2008 Lions and 2017 Browns going 0–16 and the expan­sion 1976 Buc­ca­neers los­ing all 14 games.

The best fin­ish for the oth­er 18 teams was 3–13 with the Oil­ers (1984), Colts (1986, ’97), Ben­gals (1993) and Raiders (2014) all win­ning three of their final six games.

PERFECT 10: Steel­ers rook­ie receiv­er Chase Clay­pool caught a TD pass to give him 10 touch­downs in the first 10 games this sea­son. Clay­pool is the first wide receiv­er in the Super Bowl era and fourth in league his­to­ry with at least 10 TDs in the first 10 games of his career, join­ng Bil­ly How­ton (11 TDs in 1952), Bill Gro­man (10 in 1960) and Har­lon Hill (10 in 1954).

GIVING THANKS: Detroit’s Matthew Stafford is set to make his 10th career Thanks­giv­ing Day start, which would tie Troy Aik­man for the most in NFL his­to­ry. Stafford has gone 4–5 in those starts and could have the most Thanks­giv­ing loss­es ever if the Lions lose to Hous­ton. Only Aik­man (5–5) and Bart Starr (2–5‑1) have also lost five starts.

Stafford, whose 2,705 yards pass­ing are the most ever on Thanks­giv­ing, also can have the most TD pass­es. He enters the game with 17, one behind Tony Romo.

HEAVY LOAD: Jaguars undraft­ed rook­ie James Robin­son gained 94 yards from scrim­mage to give him 1,011 for the sea­son. He’s the fifth undraft­ed rook­ie to gain at least 1,000 yards from scrim­mage in the com­mon draft era, join­ing Dominic Rhodes (1,328 in 2001), Phillip Lind­say (1,278 in 2018), Clark Gaines (1,124 in 1976) and LeGar­rette Blount (1,021 in 2010).

Robin­son has 78.3% of Jack­sonville yards rush­ing this sea­son. Only nine play­ers have gained a larg­er amount for a sea­son since 2010.

COMEBACK KIDS: Indi­anapo­lis over­came a 14-point deficit to beat Green Bay 34–31 in over­time, mark­ing the 11th straight week that a team ral­lied from at least 13 points down to win. The only oth­er time that hap­pened was 2015.

There have been 33 games so far in which a team over­came a dou­ble-dig­it deficit to win, the most through 11 weeks in NFL history.

The Pack­ers are one of 24 teams to lose a game despite scor­ing at least 30 points. That hap­pened only 16 times all of last sea­son and has hap­pened more times just once in NFL his­to­ry, with 27 games in 2018.
