Top 10 worst NFL teams in 2021 so far

NFL's worst teams in the 2021 season

The worst teams in the NFL ranked #4-#1 so far this year.

#4 - New York Jets (3-8)

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh

Robert Saleh's first year as the head coach of the New York Jets has been unimpressive. In particular, his defense has been disappointing for a coach that is supposed to be a defensive specialist. The Jets rank last in the entire NFL in points allowed per game and second to last in yards allowed per game.

Their offense hasn't been much better, ranking 27th in scoring. The Jets combined for the worst overall points differential in the entire NFL.

#3 - Jacksonville Jaguars (2-9)

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence

The first-year NFL tandem between head coach Urban Meyer and quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been shaky at best. They average the second-lowest number of points per game in the NFL this season. It's all about the future for the Jacksonville Jaguars and the development of Lawrence is their number one priority. He has elite potential, if groomed correctly.

Trevor Lawrence is already showing improvements in his game as his rookie season plays itself out. He threw a massive seven interceptions in his first three games, but just three of them combined over his next eight games.

#2 - Houston Texans (2-9)

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson

The Houston Texans offense is almost nonexistent without quarterback Deshaun Watson, who has not played at all in the 2021 NFL season. He has dealt with legal issues but has also demanded a trade. The Texans rank last in the NFL in scoring offense while losing nine of their last ten games. They will need to use this offseason to figure out their quarterback situation.

#1 - Detroit Lions (0-10-1)

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff

The Detroit Lions are the only winless team in the NFL. It has been a frustrating season for them as they have been within ten points of victory in seven of their eleven games so far. Their offense scores the third least amount of points while their defense gives up the sixth most. They have six more opportunities to get their first win of the 2021 NFL season.
