The Kansas City Chiefs experienced their worst seasons in franchise history, based on win percentage, in 2008 and 2012. Both of these years saw the team finish with a dismal 2-14 record, resulting in a win percentage of .125.
These seasons stand out as the nadir of the Chiefs' performance, tying for the lowest win percentage in the team's long history. The 2012 Chiefs, specifically, garnered the unenviable distinction of tying with the Jacksonville Jaguars for the worst overall record in the entire NFL that year.
While the 2008 and 2012 seasons hold the record for the lowest win percentage, the Chiefs also had another season with a similarly low number of wins. The 1977 team finished with a 2-12 record. However, due to the shorter 14-game schedule at the time, its win percentage was slightly higher than that of the 2008 and 2012 teams. All three of these seasons—1977, 2008, and 2012—are tied for the fewest wins in Chiefs franchise history, each concluding with only two victories.
To illustrate the severity of these seasons, here is a comparison of the Chiefs' worst performances:
| Season | Record (Wins-Losses) | Win Percentage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 2-14 | .125 | Tied for the lowest win percentage in franchise history. |
| 2012 | 2-14 | .125 | Tied for the lowest win percentage in franchise history; tied for NFL's worst record. |
| 1977 | 2-12 | .143 | Tied for fewest wins (2) with the 2008 and 2012 teams. |
