today's trivia
Which NFL team has the most losses in franchise history (The prior record remains with a team that moves, except in the case of the Browns, where the NFL chose to keep the franchise history in Cleveland.)?

ding, ding, ding, correct!
The St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals have a huge lead with 812 all-time losses, followed by the Lions (709) and Giants (663). Most wins are the Packers (811) and Bears (800). Highest and lowest win% are the Ravens and the Bucs, respectively.

You are correct. I should have mentioned the Chicago Cardinals, who were
instrumental in setting that loss record. They actually lost 29 straight games in 1942-1945!

I guess the record includes when they were named the Racine Street
Cardinals, maybe Racine Normals, and maybe Morgan Athletic Club since those were the team's names prior to the renaming as the Chicago Cardinals. Right?
