Record since 1999
This covers as far back as the game results reach (1999-present) — 1999–2026 — and no further back, so it is not an all-time record. It is worked out from every result for these seasons, and a tie counts as half a win, which is how the NFL itself figures a winning percentage.
| Regular season | 177–262–2 (.404 over 441 games) |
|---|---|
| Play-offs | 2–6 |
| Super Bowls | none |
| Seasons counted | 28 (1999–2026) |
Season by season
Regular-season record for every season in the window the results data covers, 1999–2026. Not an all-time record — the Super Bowls above are all-time, these rows are not. A tie counts half in the percentage, which is how the league counts it. Pick a figure to chart it; the year links to that season’s page. 2026 is still being played — 4 games so far, against 17 the season before — so its row and its bar are short because the season is short, not because the record is.
