Since 2002, only 11% of NFL teams which start the season 0-2 make the playoffs.

Here are the seven 0-2 teams in the NFL:

Arizona Cardinals

Buffalo Bills

Detroit Lions

Houston Texans

New York Giants

Oakland Raiders

Seattle Seahawks

Houston is the clear choice here.

Cannot see any of the other 0-2 teams challenge for the postseason, let alone qualify for the playoffs.

Here's a much tougher challenge: Name the 2-0 teams that will not make the postseason.

Listed below are the seven 2-0 teams in the NFL:

Cincinnati Bengals

Denver Broncos

Jacksonville Jaguars

Kansas City Chiefs

Los Angeles Rams

Miami Dolphins

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The winner of next week's Hous- NYG game, which I think will be Hous, has a shot. None of the others do.

I think only 2 will for sure, Jax and Rams. I'd give the Chiefs a reasonable shot, maybe Cinn. I don't think Denver or TB will, and I'm pretty certain Miami won't.

If we go by teams who SHOULD be 0-2, one could argue New Orleans. And quite possibly Green Bay. May even throw Philadelphia in there. Some may say Pittsburgh, but they really should've beaten Cleveland straight up in week 1.

Denver and TB will both lose this week. They will NOT make the playoffs. Just looked at Miami`s schedule. I think they 6-2 maybe 7-1 at half way point. I like this team.

I am a diehard Broncos fan. Doubt Broncos make the Playoffs

I'll make this easier: Rams and Chefs will make the Playoffs - Jags probably, too

Don't think the other 4 make it

Wait a moment? Jags probably? What have the Jags done to make you think they won't make the playoffs?

Blake Bortles exits the best game of his five-year NFL career.

Here's what Mark Brunell wrote about Bortles after Sunday's impressive win over New England:

Blake is a different quarterback. He has come into his own. This stage didn’t bother him. This game wasn’t too big for him. He simply took the field last night and played the way he and his teammates expected him to play. He was comfortable and confident. He was mobile, he was accurate and his decision making with the ball is everything you want in a franchise quarterback. He simply made plays.

This was Blake’s night. He certainly won't take all the credit. He’ll downplay it and give credit to his teammates, as he should. But, in my opinion, this was a glimpse of what the future holds for Blake. Jaguars fans, we have in our quarterback the making of something special.
