NFL Power Rankings Week 2: Which 0-2 Teams Could Still Make Postseason?

After two weeks of pro football (with the exception of Week 2's Monday night game), six teams have yet to win a game.

That said, just because they're 0-2 doesn't mean the postseason is out of reach, because franchises have fought back and made it when down that much before.

To that end, think about what the San Diego Chargers did to the Denver Broncos in 2009.

Denver was 8-4 and up four games on the Bolts with four games left, but they lost their final four and San Diego won theirs.

Ultimately, Southern California went to the playoffs over Mile High.

Although it's still very early, here are two teams that still have a shot at the postseason despite being 0-2.

Carolina Panthers

Sure, they are in the rough NFC South with New Orleans, Atlanta and Tampa Bay (all of whom are playoff contenders), but don't count out rookie QB Cam Newton and his 0-2 Carolina Panthers.

For one, Newton has hit over 400 passing yards in each of his first two games, and the Panthers have lost both games by only one TD.

And it's not like Carolina is playing cake teams either—the Arizona Cardinals are most likely the best NFC West team, while Green Bay, as we all know, is 2-0 and defending Super Bowl champs.

In addition, WR Steve Smith appears to have been rejuvenated by Cam Newton, dominating through two games as well.

So, considering how well the Panthers have played through two games against two tough opponents, don't be surprised if they sneak into the playoff hunt.

Seattle Seahawks

Since the Seahawks flipped over to the NFC back in 2002 when the NFL was realigned to eight divisions, they have owned the NFC West, winning it five of the last seven seasons.

Therefore, don't count them out just because they're one of the worst NFL teams.

As we all know, the NFC West has been very weak during the regular season but rather respectable in the playoffs (i.e. Arizona in Super Bowl XLIII; Seattle defeating the Saints last season).

To that end, it's not completely out of the question that Seattle is still in NFC West title contention.

Although the entire division has improved, it's still rather weak from an all-encompassed perspective.

Just look out for whoever wins this division come time for the postseason. For some reason the NFC West plays much better when the games get more difficult.
