Are the Browns the worst ever (and will it be worth it)?

The Cleveland Browns are bad. You've probably noticed. The Browns are 0-14 with two games to go in the 2016 season, leaving them with a 63.7 percent chance of finishing as the fourth winless team since the AFL-NFL merger of 1970, per the ESPN Football Power Index. They seem to also be getting worse: Although they nearly won several games earlier in the season, the pro-football-reference.com win expectancy model soberingly suggests that the Browns have not been favorites to win in any moment of any game since the second quarter of Week 10, when the Browns led the Ravens 7-3 with 1:12 left in the first half.
