The 2017 NFL regular season has barely gotten started and there are already a handful of teams that can pretty much start looking forward to 2018. Eight teams currently sit at 0-2 (the Giants can add to that number Monday night) and history has not been kind to teams that have failed to win one of their first two games…

It’s rare, but a number of teams have come back from an 0-2 start to make the playoffs. So which teams have the best chance of doing it in 2017? Let’s rank them from most to least likely.

1. Indianapolis Colts

The Colts look like one of the worst teams in football right now, but there’s still hope in Indy. The team is just one game back in a bad AFC South. Let’s say Andrew Luck comes back in Week 6. That’s just in time for the Colts’ first divisional game against the Titans. Between now and then, Indianapolis has two winnable games: The Browns next week and the 49ers in Week 5. If they can somehow stick within two games of the AFC South leader, Luck may be good enough to close that gap by season’s end.

2. Los Angeles Chargers

You cannot watch the Chargers play and tell me that roster is not talented enough to not only make the playoffs, but make a deep run as well. They are clearly the most talented team of this bunch, but they fall to No. 2 for the simple fact that they play in the league’s best division. I don’t think any of the other three AFC West teams are significantly better than Los Angeles but all three now own a two-game lead over the Bolts in the division. Still, I don’t think anyone would be surprised if the Chargers went on a run … provided they figure out which evil spirit they managed to upset.

3. New Orleans Saints

There is a big drop-off between the second and third spots on this list. The Saints aren’t making the playoffs. They might not have have a win by the time Week 7 rolls around. But as long as Drew Brees is still there, the Saints will remain somewhat competitive. Is that even in the best interest of the franchise going forward? We say no. New Orleans needs to start over. Yesterday.

4. Chicago Bears

So the Bears got blown out by a good Tampa team. They actually did not play as poorly as the scoreboard says they did. It was a bit of a flukey game. Chicago turned it over four times, but, outside of the turnovers, the offense wasn’t a complete disaster and the defense has played better than expected during the first two weeks. That close loss to Atlanta looks a lot better after the Falcons hammered the Packers on Sunday night. The Bears aren’t sniffing the playoffs, but a 6-10, 7-9 type of season is not off the table just yet.

5. Cincinnati Bengals

If the Bengals didn’t have to deal with the Steelers and Ravens in their division, they might be No. 3 on this list. Cincy’s offense is a mess and firing offensive coordinator Ken Zampese is not going to help. Not unless the new play-caller can figure out how to get a bad offensive line to block better or get Andy Dalton to play better under pressure. But the Bengals defense has been pretty good and will only get better when Vontaze Burfict returns from suspension. Don’t expect the Bengals to be a pushover all season.

6. Cleveland Browns

The Week 2 loss was a setback for sure, but the Browns are going to get better as the season progresses. DeShone Kizer isn’t going to be dealing with migraines every week — seriously, those things are the worst — and Myles Garrett will be back healthy eventually. The playoffs were out of the question before the season even started, though.

7. San Francisco 49ers

Do not sleep on the 49ers defense. That defensive line is stacked with first-round talent, and the linebacker corps is going to be a problem when Reuben Foster returns to good health. Just one small issue: Brian Hoyer is still this team’s quarterback, and as long as that’s the case, this offense will struggle to crack 20 points on the scoreboard.

8. New York Jets

The Jets don’t even want to win this season. Why would they with Sam Darnold, Josh Allen and Josh Rosen likely available at the top of next year’s draft? This is the least talented roster in the league and it’s been obvious through two weeks. But, hey, how about those young safeties, New York?
