Streak Watch in NFL: Cincinnati Bengals at 3 and Counting

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.

Count them up and seven teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.

The teams stacking wins

Cincinnati Bengals just keep stacking, three wins in a row, the best active streak going. At some point a run stops being a coincidence and starts being a statement, and they are somewhere past that point.

Buffalo Bills carry a 3-game winning run of their own.

Add Los Angeles Rams to the list too, 3 in a row.

Going the wrong way

On the other side of the ledger, Houston Texans have dropped three straight. Losing streaks carry their own gravity, the pressing starts, the bounces stop cooperating, and close games keep finding the same ending.

It is not much prettier for Miami Dolphins, losers of 3 straight.

Philadelphia Eagles round out the skid list at 3 in a row.

At a glance

For the record, here is everything currently running at three-plus:

The fine print

At 3 games, the board's longest streak is officially a main character; nothing else in the league gets talked about the same way while it lives.

None of these runs are forever. Enjoy them as stories, count them honestly, and remember the results table starts blank again tomorrow.
