Five years ago, in one of the very first posts at Football Perspective, I wrote that the new Browns were the worst expansion team in NFL history through 13 seasons. That claim felt a little controversial at the time; it has held up surprisingly well.

After 13 years, Cleveland had a pitiful 68-140 record (0.327). Since then? The Browns have gone 20-68, for a pitiful 0.227 winning percentage. Overall, after 18.5 seasons, the 0-8 2017 Browns have brought the New Browns’ record since 1999 to 88-208, a 0.297 wining percentage.

And things are not exactly trending in the positive direction:

• The Browns are on a 9-game losing streak.

• The Browns are 1-26 in their last 27 games, which seems almost hard to fathom.

• The Browns are 2-33 in their last 35 games.

• The Browns are 3-35 in their last 38 games.

• The Browns are 4-41 in their last 45 games.

In fact, the new Browns have had just one quarterback produce a winning record for the team: Brian Hoyer went 10-6 as the team’s starter from 2013-2014.

I think it’s safe to declare the new Browns the worst expansion team of all time. But if you wanted more proof, here’s each team’s winning percentage since 1999:

To Browns fans, I can only say: I’m sorry.
