Top 10 worst NFL teams in 2021 so far

Worst NFL teams in the 2021 season

The worst teams in the NFL ranked #8-#5 so far this year.

#8 - Carolina Panthers (5-7)

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton

The Carolina Panthers had a strong start to the 2021 NFL season, winning their first three games. Unfortunately it has all gone downhill from there. They've won just two of nine since. Sam Darnold proved not to be the answer at quarterback, throwing just seven touchdowns against 11 interceptions.

Cam Newton has taken over as the starter, but the Panthers have already lost both games that he started. To make things even worse, Christian McCaffrey has been placed back on the injured reserve list for the second time this year. That officially means that he will be out for the remainder of the season.

#7 - New York Giants (4-7)

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones

The New York Giants used this past off-season to try and improve their offense. They signed top free agent wide receiver Kenny Golladay and selected Kadarius Toney in the first round of the NFL Draft. It hasn't really worked out for them yet, as they rank just 29th in the NFL in scoring offense, while quarterback Daniel Jones ranks 25th in QBR.

#6 - Seattle Seahawks (3-8)

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll

The Seattle Seahawks suffered an unfortunate loss when Russell Wilson went down with a finger injury. He has since returned to action but has been unable to get the Seahawks momentum moving in the right direction. They have lost all three games since his return while averaging less than ten points per game in that stretch. They are running out of time to turn it around.

#5 - Chicago Bears (4-7)

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy

The Chicago Bears started the 2021 NFL season with a respectable 3-2 record. It has been a rough stretch since then. The Bears lost their next five games in a row before finally earning a victory over the Detroit Lions. It wasn't exactly impressive beating a winless team on the last second field goal.
