Which teams need to hit the button right now?

The shared DNA of the NFL’s three remaining winless teams is simple: They all expected much, much more. All three from the AFC, it’s reasonable to believe that all had at least a chance to think they could win their respective divisions. Now their seasons are in tatters.

Both teams were rich and before the season they went after the same talent, like David Cone (Yanks), and David Wells (O’s). The...
