NFL Streak Watch
NFL Streak Watch, Houston Texans' Run Hits 6
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 win-column crowd
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 carry a 5-game winning run of their own.
Las Vegas Raiders join the party at 3 straight.
Going the wrong way
On the other side of the ledger, Houston Texans have dropped six 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 6 straight.
Los Angeles Chargers have lost 5 straight themselves, in case anyone at the cold end needed company.
At a glance
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.
A streak is history with good posture: impressive to look at, honest about the past, silent about tonight. Markets know this, which is why streaking teams get funny prices.
