2019 Team Records (Coach, Quarterback, Rushers, Receivers)

2019 Team Records (Coach, Quarterback, Rushers, Receivers) – Summary

by Chase Stuart on September 1, 2019

In this series, I will be looking at the history of coaches, quarterbacks, rushers, and receivers for all 32 franchises. For coaches and quarterbacks, I will be looking at how much their franchise’s career records (regular season only) would change if we removed the games with that person. For rushers and receivers, I will note how many times that player was the team’s leading rusher/receiver over the course of their time with that franchise (regular plus postseason).

Teams:

AFC East: Dolphins, Bills, Jets, and Patriots
NFC East: Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, and Redskins
AFC North: Steelers, Browns, Ravens, and Bengals
NFC North: Packers, Vikings, Bears, and Lions
AFC South: Jaguars, Colts, Texans, and Titans
NFC South: Panthers, Falcons, Saints, and Buccaneers
AFC West: Raiders, Chiefs, Chargers, and Broncos
NFC West: Seahawks, Rams, 49ers, and Cardinals

I am concluding this series with the full results for all teams presented on one page. Let’s begin with head coaches. As a reminder, here is how to read the table. Don Shula coached the Dolphins for 392 games, going 257-133-2, a 0.658 winning percentage. As a franchise, Miami has played 816 games, and gone 452-360-4 (0.556). Therefore, Miami’s winning percentage without Shula is 0.462, which means Shula’s games improved the team’s winning percentage by 9.4% (from 0.462 to 0.556). That’s the most ever, although Bill Belichick is hot on his heels. No other coach is close to those two.

At quarterback, nobody can match what Tom Brady has done with New England. Brady has started 267 games, going 207-60, for a 0.775 winning percentage. The franchise has (since 1950) gone 500-391-9 over 900 games, for a 0.561 winning percentage. Therefore, Brady games improved New England’s all-time mark by 9.1%, from 0.470 without Brady to the team’s overall 0.561 winning percentage. As a reminder, all stats in this table only go back to 1950.
