After two weeks of the 2025 NFL season, 10 teams are still seeking their first win, with the Kansas City Chiefs notably starting 0-2 for the first time in Patrick Mahomes' career.

After two weeks of NFL action, nine teams find themselves in big trouble with an 0-2 record, as historically only 11% of such teams make the playoffs. Among these teams, the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Chargers are the biggest surprises. The Bengals have the best chance of bouncing back if quarterback Joe Burrow remains healthy. Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers retain the top spot in the Power Rankings, followed closely by the Dallas Cowboys, whose dominant defense has allowed just 10 points this season. The Philadelphia Eagles drop to third place after lackluster performances, but at least they are not among the winless teams.
After two weeks of the NFL season, nine teams are winless at 0-2. The rankings of these teams, based on their chances of making the playoffs, are as follows: 9. Arizona Cardinals, 8. Chicago Bears, 7. Houston Texans, 6. Carolina Panthers, 5. Denver Broncos, 4. New England Patriots, 3. Los Angeles Chargers, 2. Minnesota Vikings, and 1. Cincinnati Bengals. While the Bengals have a history of making a playoff run after starting 0-2, this year feels different due to tough upcoming games and quarterback Joe Burrow's injury.
Despite starting the season 0-2, there are reasons for optimism for each of the nine winless NFL teams. The NFC North remains unpredictable, giving hope to the Bears. The Bengals have bounced back from an 0-2 start before and have seen glimpses of Joe Burrow's talent. The Broncos have a resurgent Russell Wilson and a chance to turn things around. The Cardinals have shown scrappiness and entertainment value. The Chargers may benefit from a coaching reset. The Panthers have a promising young quarterback in Bryce Young. The Patriots have played well against tough opponents despite injuries. The Texans have a promising rookie QB in C.J. Stroud. The Vikings remain aggressive despite offensive line issues.
Eight NFL teams have started the season with an 0-2 record, putting them in a desperate situation as they aim to turn their seasons around. Starting 0-2 is already challenging, with only about one in 10 teams historically making it to the playoffs. However, dropping to 0-3 is even more dire, as only one team since 2002 has managed to reach the postseason from that position. The Houston Texans, who have been plagued by injuries, are among the 0-2 teams and face an uphill battle to salvage their season. Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud has already been sacked 11 times in two weeks, highlighting the team's struggles in protecting their passer.
