Only 43 of 422 NFL teams have made the playoffs after starting 0-2, translating to a 10.1% success rate since 1970. In 2025, teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, and the New York Giants, with C.J. Stroud, have potential to recover, while only three teams have won the Super Bowl after such a start: the 1993 Cowboys, 2001 Patriots, and 2007 Giants.
