History is not kind to <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/winners-and-losers-from-cincinnati-bengals-38-33-loss-to-washington-commanders-01j8gzzq531k" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> NFL teams that start 0-3 </a> , especially this century. The 2018 Texans are the only team to make the playoffs in the 2000s and beyond after an 0-3 start (11-5 finish, AFC South Champions). All in all, five more teams have pulled it off: <ul><li> 1981 Jets: 10-5-1 (AFC wild card team) </li><li> 1982 Buccaneers: 5-4 (NFC wild card, strike-shortened season) </li><li> 1992 Chargers: 11-5 (AFC West champions) </li><li> 1995 Lions: 10-6 (NFC wild card team) </li><li> 1998 Bills: 10-6 (AFC wild card team) </li></ul> Obviously, from that list, it's easy to see that no 0-3 start has ever ended in a Super Bowl, the only marker of success for Cincinnati this season in the final year of financial flexibility during the Joe Burrow era. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Alas, Those goals are about as far away as possible right now. The climb back has to start with a win against Carolina this Sunday. Those 1992 Chargers are the only team to make the playoffs after an 0-4 start.
