ESPN details Colts chances of making postseason after 0-2 start
Can the Indianapolis Colts make the playoffs after an 0-2 start? One ESPN analyst weighs in.
ESPN's Bill Barnwell believes the Indianapolis Colts might overcome their 0-2 start and make the postseason. Out of eight teams in that position, the Colts ranked third. This optimism comes from the AFC South's overall slow start and an easier upcoming schedule for Indianapolis. However, the Colts face a tough Houston team first, which could decide their playoff fate.
Historically, only 3.9% of teams since 2002 have made the playoffs after an 0-2 start. While Barnwell sees the Colts as one of the better 0-2 teams, he points out several issues. The passing game is struggling, with Alec Pierce on injured reserve, and the defense is allowing over 12 yards per throw to the hashes, the worst in the NFL. The Colts' chances of making the playoffs stand at 25.9%, the lowest in the NFL.
