I don't know which is more amazing... that that happened or that you knew about it...

The only thing that would've made it better would be if their record was 0-0-16.

Here are the eight other teams besides the 1984 Bengals that have done it.

1984 Cowboys
1986 Falcons
1994 Eagles
2000 Panthers
2000 Lions
2000 Jets
2012 Chargers
2014 Chargers

Incredibly, although this has happened to only nine different teams in NFL history, it happened twice in one single season and three times in another. Also it happened twice to the same team within a span of three years!

I am amazed that this never happened during a shorter than 16 game season! Odds would be it more like to occur with less games played. Todd, you did check before 1984, right?

Along this thought...

The New York Giants are 4-1 in their 5 Super Bowl appearances, with a zero point differential, overall, in those games.
