23. The 2002 Detroit Lions

Record: 2

Year two of the Marty Mornhinweg Experience (3-13) was just a tiny fraction better than year one from strictly a Wins-Losses standpoint

Achievements: 1.5

Considering who their coach and general manager were, the fact that they won multiple games is an achievement in its own right
Joey Harrington made the cover of Sports Illustrated at midseason

Star Power: 2

Nondescript RB James Stewart, quietly churning out over 1,000 rushing yards
Rookie QB Joey Harrington, being given the benefit of the doubt (for the time being)
DE Robert Porcher, way past his prime

Entertainment Value: 1.5

While Mornhinweg’s second year went slightly better on the field, that came with a lot less unintentional comedy from the head coach or patience from fans and management

Total Score: 7 out of 40
