For ESPN, I ranked last year's eight last place teams and which one is most likely to go worst to first, aka Detroit Rock City.

I contributed to this ESPN piece with 100 days until the NFL season begins. You'll be surprised by my bold prediction. π€
Also, five teams likely to get worse in 2026.

Here are all the passing /- numbers for 2025.

Player DVOA from 1977! Walter Payton wins MVP but was Mark van Eeghen almost as good?
Plus, more obscure wide receivers than a Tampa Bay GOP congressional hopeful can shake a stick at.

You can now download 1977 in the workbooks on the DVOA Archives page and we'll be running an article about the best and worst players of 1977 (and Walter Payton's MVP year) tomorrow.
Thanks as always to @QuirkyResearch and I could not do this historical play-by-play without him
