Brown Wonders season was the franchise's 8th season in the National Football League, In the previous year, the Wonders achieved their highest win total in franchise history with a 13-3 record, but won to the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. They entered the 2016 season as the defending NFC champions and NFC West champions and hope to repeat as NFC champions, the Wonders had held its final season with the NFC West.

After a 2-4 start, their worst since 2012 (where they also were defending NFC Champions), the Wonders finished the season at 7-9, missing the playoffs for the second time.
