I was very surprised at how many. This list only includes teams (including one denfunct team) with at least 10 years in the league (so no Houston Texans, who are currently 20-52-0) :
Atlanta Falcons 256-368-6
*1 Arizona Cardinals 451-660-38
Buffalo Bills 343-377-8
Carolina Panthers 92-101-0
Cincinnati Bengals 262-336-1
Detroit Lions 486-547-32
New Orleans Saints 244-359-5
New York Jets 319-385-8
Philadelphia Eagles 479-527-25
*2 Tennessee Titans 347-375-6
San Diego Chargers 338-365-11
Seattle Seahawks 235-250-0
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 191-297-1
*1 Includes time as Chicago & St. Louis Cardinals
*2 Includes time as Houston & Tennessee Oilers
Defunct:
Dayton Triangles (1920-29) 18-51-8

A bunch.
Not a complete list, but off the top of my head:
Arizona
Philadelphia
NY Jets
Buffalo
Cincinnati
Detroit
Atlanta
New Orleans
Tampa Bay
Houston
I believe Pittsburgh, Denver, and Seattle, as well as New England, are all near the .500 mark, with some just having gone over it for the first time (while Pittsburgh has been good since the 1970's, remember that they had a good 40 years where they were really crappy). Washington also seems to hover right around the .500 mark.
If I remember correctly, Miami has the highest winning percentag, with Oaklnad close behind.

In the history of all sports that do not include ties as part of their format, for every win there is a loss. Since there are franchises like the New York Yankees for example that have a franchise winning percentage there, in turn, must be a franchise with a losing record in it's history. This would apply to football as well.

Well, of course there have to be some teams. Not every team can have a season above .500. As for who, I'd probably guess the Lions, Texans, and Eagles? There's probably more.

The Saints need 110+ wins to get back to the .500 mark. I'm not sure, but I think the Buccaneers may be under .500 also.

Mathematically there would have to be, unless every team by fantastic coincidence had a .500 record. It is impossible for every team to have a winning or losing record, the overall number of wins and losses is even.

And yes the Detroit Lions are also 486-547
