Since the playoffs expanded to fourteen groups in 2020, best 4.3% of groups (1 of 23) have bounced again from an 0-2 begin to make the postseason. That’s now not nice news for the Bengals, Patriots and Chargers, 3 groups that are actually 0-2 after shedding on Sunday. Of route, the Bengals simply came about to be the only group that recovered from an 0-2 begin to make the playoffs, so they are going to need to paintings that magic as soon as once more. Speaking of magic, the Giants and Commanders each appeared to have some in Week 2. The Giants tied the most important comeback in franchise historical past after they overcame a 28-7 deficit to overcome the Cardinals 31-28. As for the Commanders, they beat the Broncos 35-33 after trailing 21-3. The Giants win stored them out of the 0-2 membership. However, a number of different groups were not so fortunate. Along with the Patriots, Chargers and Bengals, the Panthers, Texans, Cardinals, Broncos and Bears also are off to an 0-2 get started after shedding on Sunday and the Vikings are actually 0-2 after shedding on Thursday.
