Since 1979, only six teams have made the postseason after starting 0-3, including just one since 2000.
Here was the reaction on social media:
FINAL: Washington 38, Cincinnati 33

The nightmare scenario has arrived. What happened on the defensive side of the ball tonight is almost as concerning as the fact 2.4 percent of teams that start 0-3 have made the playoffs since 1990.
Pound the panic button in Cincinnati.
Lou Anarumo’s complex pro football defensive scheme has been absolutely worked by a “college offense.”

Dax Hill with his first rough moment as a CB, but man, that's all about Daniels hanging in there and delivering the dime of the night. https://t.co/h30EECP8uV

It’s amazing that the Bengals probably have a top 5-7 offense and likely will miss the playoffs because they have the worst defense in the NFL

I’m a bengals fan but damn…how good is Jayden Daniels as a rookie?!?? Not just the physical ability..but the composure and understanding of the scheme! Playing with ridiculous poise on the big stage on MNF on the road. Absolutely the REAL DEAL. Gotta tip your cap man. Also great…

me when the bengals are on defense:

tackle him,
intercept it,
force a fumble,
anything
The Bengals look like a team that thought a healthy Joe Burrow would solve all of their problems.

Bengals about to be added to the Belichick watch list, too.

The bengals 0-3 not because of Joe Burrow slow start this time. He literally in mid-season form. They got 3rd graders on defense tho I kinda feel bad for him & Chase

“Keep starting 0-2, and at some point you’ll start 0-3.”

Burrow said he and Taylor just had a private conversation. Didn’t elaborate. #Bengals https://t.co/X3RkzlIek2
