It’s finally over.
After 16 straight defeats, the Denver Broncos finally snapped their losing streak to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday with a 24-9 win.
“I feel great,” Broncos outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper said after the upset victory. “Finally getting over this hump, finally changing this thing around. That’s how we finish. That’s a great team win and over a good team too. I’m really happy right now. I’m ecstatic.”
That’s, right, Jonathon, the losing streak has ended!
“What streak? What streak are we talking about? It’s over now. It’s a one-game winning streak for us, that’s what we’re talking about.”
Cooper totaled two quarterback hits, a half-sack and one fumble recovery on Sunday. He’ll now go into the bye week with extra confidence after upsetting KC in Week 8.
“Obviously, we knew that they’re a great team,” Cooper said of Sunday’s game. “They’ve been winning these games over the last couple years. We knew if we needed to change this season around we needed to get after them. Winning at home is a huge part of it, too. We just wanted to come out with that energy and that swag to us. I feel like we did that.”
They certainly did.
After their bye, the Broncos will go on the road to face the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football in Week 10.
