NFL Streak Watch
NFL Streak Watch, Cincinnati Bengals's Run Hits 3
Published
Every result in NFL feeds a streak somewhere, and a few of them have now grown big enough to deserve names. Everything below comes straight off the results; nothing fancier than counting.
As of this morning, seven different teams are riding runs of three or more in one direction or the other, a busy board by any standard.
The win-column crowd
The longest active run belongs to Cincinnati Bengals: three consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.
Behind them, Buffalo Bills have quietly won 3 in a row.
Los Angeles Rams join the party at 3 straight.
The skids
The skid to watch belongs to Houston Texans, losers of three in a row. Runs like this always end eventually; the only question is how much damage gets done before they do.
It is not much prettier for Miami Dolphins, losers of 3 straight.
Philadelphia Eagles have lost 3 straight themselves, in case anyone at the cold end needed company.
At a glance
The full board, longest runs first:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Cincinnati Bengals | won 3 straight |
| Houston Texans | lost 3 straight |
| Miami Dolphins | lost 3 straight |
| Buffalo Bills | won 3 straight |
| Los Angeles Rams | won 3 straight |
One more thing
The longest run on the board sits at 3 games, and runs that size have a way of bending a whole week's storylines around them, every broadcast, every pregame note, every nervous manager quote.
None of these runs are forever. Enjoy them as stories, count them honestly, and remember the results table starts blank again tomorrow.
