Every undefeated season ever · one cell per game

Miami, 197217-0

The only perfect season in NFL history — fourteen regular-season wins, two playoff wins, and the title game, none dropped. Every gold cell is a postseason win.

New England, 200718-1

The only 16-0 regular season ever played. Two more wins in the playoffs — and the one red cell at the end is the championship game. Eighteen and one.

Cleveland, 1948 (AAFC)15-0

Pro football’s other perfect run: 14-0 in the All-America Football Conference, then the title game won. The NFL absorbed the franchise two years later.

Chicago, 193413-1

Unbeaten and untied through thirteen, then lost the championship game. The same story struck the same franchise in 1942: 11-0, then a title-game defeat.

Detroit, 20080-16

The other kind of perfect. Sixteen games, sixteen losses — matched by Cleveland in 2017. The strip nobody wants to print.

The daily football gameone board · one attempt · build a streak

Every day one board goes live and everyone in the world drafts the exact same spins — a daily sports game in the same spirit as a daily word game, except the puzzle is building an all-time football roster. You get a single attempt: draft your team, the season simulates, and your record lands on today's leaderboard.

Play the Daily Challenge and you build a streak — and it's a forgiving one: miss a day and your rest day covers it, miss two and you can still win it back the next day. A new board goes live at midnight ET, every sport runs its own daily board and leaderboard, and no account is needed — your streak saves to this device.

Why 17-0 still hasn’t happened

The regular season grew to seventeen games in 2021, and nobody has run the new table: the best 17-game record so far is 15-2, set in 2024, and three different teams finished 14-3 in 2025. Before the modern era, the earliest leagues saw unbeaten seasons with ties — Akron’s 8-0-3 in 1920, Canton’s 10-0-2 and 11-0-1 back to back, Green Bay’s 12-0-1 in 1929 — champions all, from the years before a championship game existed.

Questions people actually ask

Has any NFL team ever gone undefeated?

Once, all the way: Miami went 17-0 in 1972 — a 14-0 regular season, two playoff wins, and the title game — still the only perfect season in NFL history. Cleveland ran a 15-0 season in the AAFC in 1948 before that league folded into the NFL.

Has any NFL team gone 17-0?

Not in the 17-game era. The schedule grew to seventeen games in 2021, and nobody has run it: the best record since is 15-2, set in 2024, with three teams reaching 14-3 in 2025. Miami’s 17-0 in 1972 came as 14 regular-season games plus three postseason wins.

Which teams went undefeated but did not win the title?

Chicago did it twice — 13-0 in 1934 and 11-0 in 1942 — and lost the championship game both times. New England went 16-0 in 2007, won two playoff games, and lost the final: 18-1. An unbeaten season with the last game lost is the sport’s cruelest scoreline.

Has a team ever gone 0-16?

Twice: Detroit in 2008 and Cleveland in 2017. Both finished a sixteen-game schedule without a win.

Could an all-time roster actually go 17-0?

That’s this game. Spin real franchise eras, draft twelve seats from their actual rosters, and the season simulates week by week — 17-0 is the regular season run clean, 20-0 adds the playoffs. About 1 in 20 finished boards prints it.
