What if I told you that the New England Patriots, before they ever kicked off their first game with a record of 0-0, only had a 39% chance of making the playoffs? That’s the percentage chance that every team has of making the playoffs before the season starts. So it just makes sense that your odds go down as you lose, and prove that you’re not better than other teams. Is this the case with the Cincinnati Bengals?
Based on history, 12% of all teams that started 0-2 actually did make it to the playoffs.
