Beginning a season with back-to-back losses leaves an NFL team in dire straits. Since the league moved to its 32-team format in 2002, about one in every 10 teams to start 0-2 has made it to the postseason. Last season, of the nine teams that started the season with two consecutive defeats, the Texans were the only team to advance to the playoffs.
If a team falls to 0-3, though, it had might as well start making vacation plans for January. Again going back to 2002, 103 squads have started the season with three straight defeats.
