Kansas City Chiefs’ 16-Game Straight Wins Was Not the Only Streak Broken by the Denver Broncos

Russell Wilson and Co is at the top of the world right now. They were successful in maintaining their winning streak with two consecutive wins. Furthermore, the Denver Broncos did what they promised.

Before the matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs, Wilson, in a post-conference, revealed that he and his team will definitely pull off a victory from the Red Sea this time, citing their strategies. In the matchup, the Orange Crush successfully upset Patrick Mahomes and his squad with a good score of 24-9. And along with this victory, they not only ended a long-time losing streak, but also generated some incredible headlines.

Russell Wilson and Co: All streaks broken!

The Chiefs headed towards the Week 8 NFL game in Colorado, this time to face off the Broncos on Sunday. Turning the tables, Russell Wilson and his team secured a win over the Chiefs for the first time after the September 17, 2015 season. However, the end of this 16-winning streak, i.e. after 2,962 days, is not the only streak that ended on Sunday. Some other historic records broke that day.

As the Broncos defeated the Chiefs, they ended the third-longest streak to any opponent in NFL history. Furthermore, the matchup marked Mahomes’ failure in throwing a touchdown pass, ending the longest active streak at 29 straight games. Moreover, although the Chiefs trailed in the last matchup, they marked “eight straight wins including playoffs, when trailing after three quarters,” this was the longest in NFL history. Besides that, Mahomes had not lost any game to his divisional opponent before this, so this was the first time.

Apart from all these record-breaking events, Sunday’s game also saw some incredible incidents.

Key takeaways from the Chiefs vs Broncos matchup!

Javonte Williams appeared as the team’s workhorse, as he rushed 27 times for 85 yards, and added 13 receiving yards and 1 TD, marking his first touchdown since his serious knee injury. The second takeaway was the changes in the Broncos squad. They benched cornerback Damarri Mathis last week and replaced him with Fabian Moreau. The Orange team also released Essang Bassey and replaced him with Ja’Quan McMillian.

These two players proved their worth in the last matchup, indicating how they were much-needed changes for the team. Furthermore, the Broncos’ defense was having a really bad game this season, and everyone demanded changes in their defense, by firing defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. However, Sean Payton showed his patience and as a result, the Broncos defensive end was seen doing much better in the last three games. Due to this, the Chiefs had a tough time scoring, even when they were very close to the end zone.

It seems the Broncos are kicking off their good season. However, fans are still speculating about the next move of the Broncos for Russell Wilson. Nevertheless, the Broncos gave their fans a feel-good moment before heading into the bye week.
