It's a dubious honor: Nine NFL teams have lost at least six games in the first eight weeks of the season, matching a record set in 2000. The Miami Dolphins could join this group should it lose in Buffalo; it had a week 6 bye. If it does, a new record will be matched, also from 2000: 10 teams with 2-6 or worse records eight games in.

The AFC East has three of the worst performing teams, with the New York Jets (2-6), New England Patriots (2-6), and Dolphins (2-5) struggling. The list's Jacksonville (2-6) and Tennessee (1-6) hail from the AFC South, and while New Orleans (2-6) and Carolina (1-7) are part of the NFC South. The others on the list are Cleveland, Las Vegas, and the New York Giants, all with 2-6 records. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
