The Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons are desperately hoping to have enough success this season to end long playoff droughts.
Each of the six teams that started 2-0 last season made the playoffs and 64% have since 1990. Eight of the 14 teams in the 2022 NFL playoffs lost at least one of their first two games and 42% of 1-1 teams over the last 23 years have earned a spot in the postseason.
“Our team’s mindset is that every game is a must-win game, especially after last year when we started so slow,” Lions center Frank Ragnow said.with the No. 8 choice in the NFL draft, but those critics have been quieted by Bijan Robinson’s start. Lining up all over the field, Robinson has averaged 6.2 yards per carry and has 10 receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown.
The Lions could have drafted Robinson with their No. 6 pick overall, but traded down six slots and selected Gibbs out of Alabama.
