Ranking 0-2 teams' chance at playoffs (5. Detroit Lions: What's happened: The Lions got humiliated at home against the Jets and then struggled to really keep it close against the 49ers, although they certainly had their shots late in the game. They don't look disciplined under first-year coach Matt Patricia, Matthew Stafford has looked sloppy for large stretches -- his Week 1 game against the Jets was probably the worst game of his career -- there's no running game and the defense is an unmitigated disaster considering Patricia's background. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln ... How they fit the mold: The only way to really peg them here is with Stafford. They have a first-year head coach, their point differential isn't great and they were beaten by two teams who we don't expect to be dominant this year. They also have a really difficult division.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/which-0-2-teams-can-make-nfl-playoffs-ranking-each-teams-chances-with-historical-trends/
Which 0-2 NFL teams still could make playoffs? (5. Detroit Lions: New coach. New culture. Same old Lions? After an embarrassing home debut against an average Jets team, Matt Patricia's bunch looked better in Sunday's three-point heartbreaker at San Francisco. Still, Detroit is too reliant on QB Matthew Stafford and definitely isn't in the same class as NFC North brethren like the Packers and Vikings. The situation is unlikely to improve Sunday night with a wounded Patriots team heading to Motown in what's shaping up as an unhappy reunion for Patricia.): https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2018/09/18/nfl-giants-raiders-seahawks-texans-lionsbills-cardinals/1343215002/
