As Week 4 of the NFL season approaches, five teams — the Dolphins, Texans, Titans, Chargers, and Buccaneers — are still seeking their first victory of 2026, all holding 0-3 records. Only one team, the 1992 Chargers, has made the playoffs after starting 0-4 in NFL history. This weekend, none of these teams will face each other, and each could potentially enter the 0-4 club by Monday. The current situation raises challenges for postseason aspirations as most 0-4 teams struggle to recover from such a deficit.
- •Dolphins, Texans, Titans, Chargers, and Buccaneers are all 0-3.

- •Only the 1992 Chargers qualified after a 0-4 start.
