2. Kansas City locked up a winning season for the 12th consecutive year.
The Chiefs have posted a winning season in every year under Head Coach Andy Reid, marking the longest active stretch in the NFL and seven seasons ahead of second place. The Buffalo Bills (5, but on the verge of 6) own the next closest active streak.
Additionally, the streak is the fifth-longest in the Super Bowl Era, trailing only the 1966-85 Dallas Cowboys (20 straight), the 2001-19 New England Patriots (19 straight), the 1983-98 San Francisco 49ers (16 straight) and the 1966-80 Oakland Raiders (15 straight).
3. The Chiefs’ defense has now held 30 straight opponents under 28 points.
Kansas City yielded just 14 points to Denver on Sunday, extending its streak of holding the opposition under 28 total points to 30 games (including the playoffs). The streak is the longest for any team since the 2000-01 Philadelphia Eagles posted a 34-game streak under the guidance of – remarkably – Head Coach Andy Reid.
The Chiefs have held opponents under 20 points in more than half of those 30 games, doing so 16 times.
4. Kansas City extended its franchise-record winning streak to 15 games.
The Chiefs have won 15 straight games dating back to last season (and including the playoffs). Kansas City has defeated the Bengals (twice), the Chargers (twice), the Dolphins, the Bills, the Ravens (twice), the 49ers (twice), the Falcons, the Saints, the Raiders, the Buccaneers and the Broncos during the streak.
It’s the longest streak for any team since the 2010-11 Green Bay Packers won 19 consecutive games (before losing to Kansas City, as it turned out). The Chiefs are the ninth team in the Super Bowl Era to record a winning streak of at least 15 games.
