The longest active winning streaks in the league belong to the Eagles in the NFC and, in the AFC... the Denver Broncos (alien.top)

After starting the season 1-5, the Broncos have ripped off a five game win streak. Denver's last five opponents: GB, KC, Buffalo, Minnesota, and Cleveland yesterday. Wilson has thrown 8 TDs and 0 INTs over this streak.

How do you rate Denver through 11 games? They're currently out of the playoff picture, but there's a bit of a log jam behind Pittsburgh and Cleveland for the 7th seed. And they have a big game against a fellow 6-5 team at Houston next week.

lesson #8008374838293 that you should not take anyone seriously when they draw massive conclusions about teams in the first two months of the season

A great example of this was when the Sam Darnold Panthers started the season with a 3-0 record, only to end up with a 5-12 record at the end of the season.

Similar to the Baker Mayfield Bucs?

[–] RyanAKA2Late@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Very similar

Honestly with the win against the Chiefs I was content to call this season a success (yes I was that desperate to break the streak). I'm starting to believe the wins aren't flukes, they're righting the ship and with their upcoming schedule, playoffs really are a possibility. -knocks on wood just in case-

Not only did you get the win against the Chiefs, that game was the first time the Chiefs had been held to a single digit score since the Titans did it on October 24, 2021.

I'm a neutral fan and I started thinking they could start making some noise when they didn't let the score in the loss to Kansas City get out of hand. They were 1-4 before the first Chiefs game and I thought the Chiefs would steamroll them, but the adjustments they've made on defense were starting to pay off. 22 points is the highest score against them since week 6.

I dunno, every Patriots fan I talked to had this season predicted.

Cool and what’s lesson #8008374838294?

[–] runevault@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Depends on a lot of things, but when you have a new head coach having to unfuck what the previous coach broke it takes longer.

[–] PM_ME_CHIPOTLE2@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Um the Jets beat the broncos very convincingly so I think that it’s obvious that the previous coach was great.

Still wish he was out of the league tbh but I'm happy for y'all and Russ that it's coming together

[–] wizard_1905@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I still think the Panthers are ass.
