The 1934 Cincinnati Football Reds were a mess. In eight games, which they all lost, they gave up 243 points and scored just 10. They were shut out six times, though they kicked a field goal in a loss to Red Grange, Bronko Nagurski and the Bears. The franchise folded with games still left to play, and St. Louis businessmen fielded the team as the Gunners instead.
Ninety-one years later, the Reds still hold one ignominious title — the worst run defense in NFL history, having allowed 6.4 yards per rush.
This year’s Bears should thank God for the Reds.
