Jan. 7—Here's a history lesson for New England Patriots fans who are convinced the team is currently at its lowest point.
In 1990, the Patriots went 1-15. They ranked last in the NFL in scoring, averaging just over 11 points per game. They scored 10 or fewer points in 10 of 16 games, including seven times in the last eight weeks of the season. The '90 Patriots also allowed a whopping 28 points per game, second-worst in the league.
They were the worst team in football, playing in the worst stadium in football, a concrete eyesore that first was named after one of the worst beers on the planet.
