NFL Streak Watch
Streak Watch: Cincinnati Bengals Have Won 3 Straight (NFL)
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.
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.
Riding high
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.
San Francisco 49ers are building a case of their own at 3 straight.
And Buffalo Bills make it a crowd with 3 consecutive wins.
Stuck in the barrel
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.
Miami Dolphins have dropped 3 in a row themselves.
Philadelphia Eagles round out the skid list at 3 in a row.
The board
The full board, longest runs first:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Cincinnati Bengals | won 3 straight |
| Houston Texans | lost 3 straight |
| San Francisco 49ers | won 3 straight |
| Miami Dolphins | lost 3 straight |
| Buffalo Bills | won 3 straight |
Worth remembering
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.
One to circle: Cincinnati Bengals meet Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their next game, and we will find out quickly whether this stretch travels.
