NFL Streak Watch
Streak Watch: Cincinnati Bengals Have Won 3 Straight (NFL)
Published
Streaks are the league's pulse. You can read the whole mood of NFL off who keeps stacking wins and who cannot find the exit, and this morning's board, counted straight from the results table, has some runs worth talking about.
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 win-column crowd
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.
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 round out the skid list at 3 in a row.
By the numbers
For the record, here is everything currently running at three-plus:
| 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 |
The fine print
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.
