The Denver Broncos are now 6-5 after winning five straight games and getting back into the playoff mix following a disastrous 1-5 start.
Denver won games against the Green Bay Packers (19-17), Kansas City Chiefs (24-9), Buffalo Bills (24-22), Minnesota Vikings (21-20) and Cleveland Browns (29-12) over the last six weeks (the Broncos had a bye in Week 9).
This five-game run marks the team’s longest single-season winning streak since 2015, the year Denver won Super Bowl 50. That season, Peyton Manning won seven straight games from Sept. 13 to Nov. 1.
After Peyton Manning suffered an injury in Week 9 that season, Brock Osweiler stepped in and went 5-3 as a starter to help the Broncos finish as the AFC’s No. 1 seed with a 12-4 record.
Here’s a look at the team’s longest single-season winning streaks dating back to Tim Tebow’s six-game winning streak in 2011.
| Year | Games |
| 2012 | 11 |
| 2015 | 7 |
| 2013 | 6 |
| 2011 | 6 |
| 2023 | 5 |
With a victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday, the Broncos would match their six-game runs from 2011 and 2013. Denver needs two more wins to match the 2015 streak. The Broncos would need to win out this season to match 2012’s 11-game winning streak.
First things first, though: Denver will focus on Houston this week.
