Three one-possession losses in their first three games of the 2025 NFL season have the Houston Texans staring down a nearly impossible task... becoming just the fifth team since 1990 to overcome an 0-3 start to make the NFL Playoffs at season's end. Just for housekeeping sake, 165 teams have started a season 0-3 since 1990, and with only four climbing out of that hole to reach the postseason, that theoretically gives the Texans a 2.4% chance of becoming the next team to do so.
Sure, this doesn't look promising for a Texans team that entered the season with their sights on competing for a Super Bowl title, but this early in the season, as bleak as things may look, it's not as if Houston is already mathematically eliminated from postseason contention.
