In this video, we’ll be re-living the last 30 years of the NFL through the lens of each team. All teams, of course, have their ups and downs, but some are much more unpredictable than others. I’ve ranked them all from least to most volatile — in other words, how wildly they fluctuate from year to year in the win-loss columns.

This is a highly experimental episode of Chart Party: it’s a video that thinks it’s an article. You might hate it a lot! If you do, let me know. And in case a ten-minute scroll isn’t really your deal, but you still want to see the charts, I’ve put them all right here.
