Jon Heath, Broncos WireWed, December 3, 2025 at 1:30 PM UTC·1 min readAfter defeating the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football, the Denver Broncos have now won nine straight games, the second-longest active winning streak in the NFL. That marks the franchise's longest winning streak in a single season since the club won 11 straight games in 2012.
Following the team's 27-26 victory on SNF, Broncos coach Sean Payton was asked if the team's confidence has been building over the last few months.

"We began feeling it a long time ago, but when you get on a streak, yeah, I mean, generally, when you have a good team, you win how many games in a row at some point, and when you win nine in a row and then convert that to baseball or basketball, you guys do the math. What would it be? You know, it's like 45 games. So, it's a lot. And so, you do begin to believe it's gonna happen. But there can't be that false belief. I mean, there has to be that preparation and corrections so that the next week is better."
Up next for the Broncos is a road game against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14. After that, the schedule gets tougher for Denver as the club's set to face the Green Bay Packers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers down the stretch. The Broncos have been hot lately, but if they're going to prove themselves as true contenders, they'll need to close out the regular season on a strong note.
