The Cleveland Browns may have just finished a disastrous 0-16 season, but shockingly enough, they are not the first team to accomplish this embarrassing feat. In 2008, the Detroit Lions claimed their stake as the first worst team in league history to go a “perfect” 0-16. The horror movie of a season was lowlighted by Dan Orlovsky, the team’s backup quarterback who was forced to start because of injuries. Here’s what happened; during a game against the Minnesota Vikings, Orlocksy took the ball from the goal line and ran straight out the back of his end zone. The play resulted in two points for the Vikings and an official end to any hope the Lions had that season.
