Which 0-2 team can make the playoffs?

Jake Roth / USA TODAY Sports

Eighty-eight.

That's the percentage of teams that end up sitting at home in January after losing their opening two games since the league expanded the playoffs in 1999.

Meanwhile, eight teams have started the 2017 season 0-2 - with Monday night's game between the 1-0 Detroit Lions and the 0-1 New York Giants still to be played - so let's see if any have a chance to defy the odds and make the postseason.

Chicago Bears

Why are they 0-2? Piling all the blame on Mike Glennon is harsh, but his turnover rate has been alarming and he hasn't even balanced it out with any discernible strengths. While Glennon was passable against the Falcons in Week 1, he still struggled to push the ball downfield and blew a last-minute chance to steal the win. Head coach John Fox, who remains loyal to Glennon, must share the blame for putting the quarterback in situations where he can make such game-altering mistakes.

Can they recover? Sorry, Chicago. 2017 is already over for you. But don't worry - the rest of the campaign will be the Mitchell Trubisky show. The Bears should concentrate on bringing along their rookie quarterback rather than winning. Even if Chicago believes it can dig itself out of this hole, a brutal next three games means 0-5 is likely.

Next three games: vs. Steelers, at Packers, vs. Vikings

Cincinnati Bengals

Why are they 0-2? The front office allowed its once-great offensive line to fall apart in free agency, Andy Dalton has severely regressed, and the skill positions haven't lived up to the hype (besides A.J. Green). Nine points over two games is an embarrassment, and firing offensive coordinator Ken Zampese was nothing more than a Hail Mary.

Can they recover? Funnily enough, the Bengals and their putrid offense might not be dead just yet. The AFC isn't the strongest, and while a loss to Green Bay next week is probable, a shock win isn't out of the question. Two easier games follow against Cleveland and Buffalo, and if Cinci rides Joe Mixon and Green - and if the change at OC returns Dalton to his 2015 self - the team may get close to .500, though it likely won't be enough for a wild-card spot.

Next three games: at Packers, at Browns, vs. Bills

Cleveland Browns

Why are they 0-2? They're starting a rookie quarterback and opened the season with two divisional games against strong, opportunistic defenses in Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Growing pains for DeShone Kizer - and this young roster as a whole - were inevitable. The young quarterback has shown promise, but four turnovers in the loss to the Ravens were back-breaking. Missing rookie game-changer Myles Garrett didn't help, either.

Can they recover? The Browns were always likely to start 0-2. The playoffs may be a long shot, but Cleveland has a realistic chance of going 3-0 over its next three games thanks to a soft schedule. Kizer will need to be reined in, however, for the Browns to stand a chance.

Next three games: at Colts, vs. Bengals, vs. Jets

Indianapolis Colts

Why are they 0-2? Everyone knows Andrew Luck is on the sidelines with a shoulder injury, but even the star quarterback couldn't have saved the Colts during their dreadful Week 1 loss to the Rams. Chuck Pagano continues to struggle with the most simple in-game coaching decisions, and general manager Chris Ballard should be criticized for entering the season with Scott Tolzien as the starter and waiting until a week before the opener to address the position by trading for Jacoby Brissett.

Can they recover? Not only did the offense look better with Brissett under center against the Cardinals, the defense also appeared much improved - though the only way it could have gone was up. The Colts fell apart in the fourth, however, and that's on Pagano. Indy is in a weak division and could be rescued by a returning Luck, but it seems they're headed for a third straight season outside the playoffs unless changes are made at head coach, or the veteran pivot returns for Week 3.

Next three games: vs. Browns, at Seahawks, vs. 49ers

Los Angeles Chargers

Why are they 0-2? The move to Los Angeles from San Diego has done nothing to lift the fourth-quarter curse that hangs over the Chargers. They blew late-game lead after late-game lead in 2016, and despite Philip Rivers' efforts, the trend has continued this year. Two kicking errors (one blocked, one missed) robbed the team of a chance at overtime in Week 1 and victory in Week 2. The talent is there; the luck definitely isn't.

Can they recover? In any other division, the talented Chargers led by a quarterback such as Rivers would have a decent shot at becoming one of the 12 percent rather than the 88. But the rest of the AFC West sits at 2-0. Barring a miracle, the Chargers will be at the bottom of the division once more.

Next three games: vs. Chiefs, vs. Eagles, at Giants

New Orleans Saints

Why are they 0-2? Once again, the defense's play has been atrocious. The secondary is talented but way too inexperienced, while the front seven only has one playmaker in Cameron Jordan. It's a cycle the Saints can't seem to get themselves out of, and Drew Brees alone can't carry this team, especially with a disappointing run game. Injuries to New Orleans' offensive line have been hard to deal with, but a Brees-led team starting 0-3 three years in a row would be unacceptable.

Can they recover? With Brees, there's always a chance, but the door is almost closed. No one else in the division has lost yet, and a Week 3 defeat to Carolina would seal New Orleans' fate - and maybe head coach Sean Payton's, too.

Next three games: at Panthers, vs. Dolphins, vs. Lions

New York Jets

Why are they 0-2? Because they want to be. In all seriousness, while the Jets' unexpected fight has shown that tanking is almost always a pipe dream, they simply lack the talent to pick up more than a handful of wins. Josh McCown has been serviceable, but he's too limited and the Jets' weapons are too unimposing. However, it's the other side of the ball that's really killing New York. The team's supposed strength has failed to live up to its modest expectations, allowing far too many big plays over two games.

Can they recover? ... No. Just start scouting college quarterbacks right now.

Next three games: vs. Dolphins, vs. Jaguars, at Browns

San Francisco 49ers

Why are they 0-2? Unsurprisingly, a Brian Hoyer-led passing attack that has little beyond Pierre Garcon can't score points. Head coach Kyle Shanahan is an offensive genius, but he can't produce magic out of thin air. The defense has been surprisingly decent, though it fell apart in the fourth quarter against the Seahawks after shouldering the workload for most of the game.

Can they recover? Unless the 49ers want to hand the keys to rookie C.J. Beathard, it's going to be Hoyer under center for the rest of the year. Either way, though, the team's ceiling is limited by its passing attack. Three winnable games are upcoming, but unless Shanahan has something up his sleeve, San Francisco will be planning for 2018 by October.
