Every NFL franchise has had its forgettable and regrettable performances.

With the good sometimes comes the bad. And with every one of the 32 NFL teams, that have been some less-than wonderful experiences. There has already been a look at each franchise’s greatest moment. Now it’s time to flip the switch and focus (for not too long) on the other side of the coin. From heartbreaking losses to embarrassing performances to a play that continues to haunt a fan base, here are the all-time worst moments for each of the league’s teams.

Arizona Cardinals: 2015 NFC Championship Game

Bruce Arians’ team won the NFC West with a 13-3 record and the Cardinals set a franchise record for victories in a season. Arizona outlasted Green Bay in overtime in the divisional round but were no match for the Panthers in Charlotte. Quarterback Carson Palmer committed six turnovers and the Cards were dealt a humbling 49-15 defeat.

Atlanta Falcons: Super Bowl LI

It’s still somewhat shocking that the Falcons squandered a 28-3 third-quarter lead on Super Sunday at Houston. Dan Quinn’s team appeared to be in control of the game but New England would roll up 546 total yards on 93 offensive plays by game’s end as Matt Ryan and company fell in the first Super Bowl to go to overtime, 34-28.

Baltimore Ravens: 2019 AFC Divisional Playoffs

The franchise owns two Super Bowl trophies. And the club was primed for another as the Ravens owned the league’s best record at 14-2, scored an NFL-high 531 points and set a record for rushing yards in a season. But NFL MVP Lamar Jackson had a long night and Baltimore couldn’t stop Titans’ workhorse Derrick Henry in a 28-12 loss.

Buffalo Bills: Super Bowl XXVII

Marv Levy’s club lost a heartbreaker in Super Bowl XXV and were dominated by Washington one year later. But the Bills became completely unglued at the Rose Bowl against the Dallas Cowboys on the verge of becoming the team of the ‘90s. Buffalo committed a Super Bowl record nine turnovers in a humbling and embarrassing 52-17 setback.
