Streak Watch: Buffalo Bills Have Won 5 Straight (NFL)

Somebody is always rolling and somebody is always spiraling, that is what makes a league a league. Here is the current NFL streak board, longest runs first.

There are ten clubs carrying streaks of three games or longer at the moment, which tells you something about how streaky this stretch of the calendar has been.

The win-column crowd

Buffalo Bills just keep stacking, five 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.

Cincinnati Bengals carry a 4-game winning run of their own.

Add Baltimore Ravens to the list too, 4 in a row.

Stuck in the barrel

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

Miami Dolphins have dropped 4 in a row themselves.

And Indianapolis Colts are quietly carrying a 3-game slide of their own.

At a glance

Every active streak of three or more, in one place:

The fine print

A 5-game run is long enough that it stops being a footnote and starts being the lead, expect it to come up in every broadcast until it ends.

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