Falling to 0-3 is essentially a death sentence for playoff hopes.

Only six teams in NFL history have started 0-3 and rallied to reach the postseason. 

The most recent example was the 2018 Houston Texans, and before that you have to go back to the 1998 Bills. It’s rare for a reason – digging out of a three-game hole in a league built on parity is almost impossible.

This week, 10 teams are staring at that cliff: the Chiefs, Texans, New York Jets (who will be missing starting QB Justin Fields due to a concussion), Miami Dolphins, Giants, Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, Bears, New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers. 

That means a slew of “must-win” games in Week 3, even though the calendar still says September.

Miami gave it the ol college try but the Bills at home were just too much. Hindsight is 20/20 and they could still turn things around, but maybe the fish should've blown things up in the offseason rather than running it back with this cast.
