How was this measured?
Schedules, results, lines, play-by-play and draft picks come from nflverse, 1999 to the current season, refreshed weekly; coaching staffs come from Wikipedia’s team-season articles; career value is Pro Football Reference’s weighted career approximate value via nflverse. Franchises that moved keep their history, so the Rams, Chargers, Raiders and Commanders are one line each.
Regular-season records run through the current week, so the partial 2026 season is included in every team record. Ranks are among the 32 franchises over the whole span. Draft value is measured against the 2000 to 2020 average for the same pick, and the picks card stops at the 2022 class so recent picks are not called busts before they have played. Referee flags in the report are credited to the crew chief, not the official who threw them.
