No team has made it starting at 0-5.
St Louis Rams, 2002 started 0-5 but didn't qualify:

The question no one wants to ask must, indeed, be asked. Can this team -- a team that started 0-5 -- make the playoffs? Probably not. No team has ever opened the season with five losses and made it to January. Heck, only one team went 0-4 and made it. It'd take a special team and a unique set of circumstances to get it done. Probably more special than the Greatest Show on Turf, and more unique than the befuddling NFC. So again, probably not.

The team that started 0-4 and made it was the 1992 San Diego Chargers:

No team in the 2003 play-offs started 0-5:
