No one has been wowed by the standard of football in the NFL this season. A confluence of injured quarterbacks, rules tweaks, bad refereeing and utterly crazy mistakes have come together to create a season in which the chief topic of conversation as we enter the stretch run is how awful the games are.

To be clear, no one is switching off the telly. Monday’s miserable game between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins, which featured seven field goals and zero touchdowns until 1:14 remained in the fourth quarter, posted one of the highest ratings for a Monday Night football game this season.

Yet the level of play has become so odious that it’s impossible to ignore. So as a service to the public, we set out to find which teams most make you want to hit yourself in the face with a frying pan (or just flip the channel).

Anyone can throw an interception or give up a sack. The NFL’s worst teams do these things every week. These kinds of things are gaffes, for sure, but at least they produce a modicum of amusement for viewers. The trouble with many NFL teams this season is that their mistakes can only be met with groans. These blunders aren’t the kind that make fans angry or get them fired up: they tend to make them feel nothing at all. We’re talking about failed challenges, rushes for no gain, fair catches and pre-snap penalties.

Once we crunched the numbers, our analysis produced this list of the teams that have been the hardest to watch this season. Unless you happen to enjoy whistles, discussions of the rules and long shots of grown men standing around.
