While NFL teams can't win Super Bowls in September, they can significantly harm their playoff chances. Historically, only 6.25% of teams starting 0-2 made the playoffs since the format expanded in 2020. The Baltimore Ravens find themselves in this predicament after a loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, leading to a crucial upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Coach John Harbaugh remains optimistic, downplaying the 0-2 start despite the daunting statistics, and encouraging his team to focus on their performance.
