NFL Streak Watch
Streak Watch in NFL: Houston Texans at 6 and Counting
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 ten teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.
The teams stacking wins
Buffalo Bills have won six straight, the longest active run in the league. Winning streaks change how a club carries itself, every bounce feels earned, every close game feels like it belongs to them until somebody proves otherwise.
San Francisco 49ers are building a case of their own at 5 straight.
Las Vegas Raiders join the party at 3 straight.
Going the wrong way
The skid to watch belongs to Houston Texans, losers of six 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 6 in a row themselves.
And Los Angeles Chargers are quietly carrying a 5-game slide of their own.
The board
For the record, here is everything currently running at three-plus:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Houston Texans | lost 6 straight |
| Miami Dolphins | lost 6 straight |
| Buffalo Bills | won 6 straight |
| Los Angeles Chargers | lost 5 straight |
| San Francisco 49ers | won 5 straight |
Worth remembering
The longest run on the board sits at 6 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.
