This week, cities across the country are buzzing with NFL excitement, but for some, the mood is grim. As the dust settles after Week 2, several teams are already in a precarious position with an 0-2 record. This statistic doesn’t bode well for their playoff chances.
When the playoffs expanded to 14 teams in 2020, the odds shifted, and not for the better. Since then, only 6.25% of the teams have managed to recover from an 0-2 start to make it to the postseason. Out of 32 teams, just two have made that comeback. So, the clock is ticking for the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Rams, Tennessee Titans, New York Giants, Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts, and Jacksonville Jaguars, all of whom now stare down the long road from an 0-2 start.
The pressure is on these teams as history shows that bouncing back is tough. Of course, it’s not impossible. Just last season, the Houston Texans made the playoffs despite starting with a rough 0-2 record. However, the current outlook appears challenging, and these teams are facing a massive uphill battle that they will need to navigate.
As they prepare for their next games, the focus will be on regrouping and making the necessary adjustments. Fans are hoping their favorite teams can rise to the occasion and at least secure a win in the upcoming week. Without a doubt, the stakes have never been higher for these teams as they aim to avoid the deep hole of a consecutive loss.
Stay tuned for more updates as the season unfolds and these teams either turn things around or continue to struggle.
