NFL teams facing unfortunate circumstances this season

#1 Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions may be off to the most unfortunate start of all NFL teams. They are off to an 0-5 start to the 2021 season but have played well enough to win two or three of them. They lost in week one despite scoring 33 points against the San Francisco 49ers.

Two of their other losses took late heroics from their opponents. Against both the Baltimore Ravens and the Minnesota Vikings, it appeared that quarterback Jared Goff led the Lions on a game-winning drive. Instead, they lost both of those games by a field goal as time expired. One by Justin Tucker of the Ravens set a new NFL record.
