Which Winless NFL Teams Still Have a Shot at the Playoffs?

Le’Veon Bell has yet to sign his franchise tag or report to the team, Antonio Brown is having issues, and the Steelers have yet to win a game.

Yet, as ESPN’s Bill Barnwell points out, even at 0-1-1, Pittsburgh’s playoff hopes are far from dead.

An early Super Bowl favorite for some, Pittsburgh’s slow start has slashed their playoff odds by more than half and they now only have a 36.6 percent chance of making the postseason.

Long as they may be, those odds are much better than what a number of other winless teams are looking at.

According to Barnwell, the 0-2 Bills, Lions, Cardinals, Raiders, and Giants all have a less than 10 percent chance of making the playoffs.

For the 0-2 Seahawks and Texans, the odds are a bit better at 11.8 and 24.4, respectively.

Also at 0-1-1, the Browns weren’t mentioned. But, if they win tonight against the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football, their odds may improve.
