Have two 0-10 teams ever played each other?

Looking at both teams schedules there is a good chance that the Panther/Cleveland game could be the first.:frown2:

Not sure it has happened in NFL ... and will not happen this year, either.

But I went to a college game in the early '70's between two 0-fer teams late in the season when both had lost 8 of 9, ECU at NC State - we nicknamed it the 'Toilet Bowl' - ha, ha.

I remember a few years back there were two teams that had maybe one win between them meeting late in the season for what was essentially the first round pick the following year. A buddy and I laughingly wondered if they both might try to lose. Can't remember what year it was, though.

The Giants and Jets played in a game that was epically bad some years back too. The pre-game singer even screwed up the Star Spangled Banner. Olbermann and Patrick were on Sportscenter at the time, and one or the other (probably Olbermann) said the game was so awful that in the third quarter, Jimmy Hoffa got up and walked out.

1976 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers finished the season 0-14! (They only played 14 games in a season then.)

They played the Seattle Seahawks, also an expansion team, and they were both 0-5 at that point.

The 0–14 record has since been matched by the 1980 New Orleans Saints, who won their second to last game to end the season 1–15. The 1990 New England Patriots had a 1–1 record when several of the players sexually harassed a female reporter. The fallout from the scandal contributed to the team finishing 0–14 in its final games. The record was surpassed by the 2001 Carolina Panthers, who lost their last fifteen games to eclipse the Buccaneers' record for consecutive games lost in a single season, and the 2008 Detroit Lions, the only winless team in the era of 16-game schedules. Nine NFL teams have lost 15 or more games in a season since the 1976 Buccaneers' record. The Buccaneers' 26-game losing streak from 1976 to 1977 still stands as the longest in modern NFL history.

But, I'm stil lnot sure about 2 0-10 teams facing each other.
