Still, 14 isn't very far away for the Chiefs. That's three more seasons of Denver sweeps when we have the best QB in the NFL and Denver has zero direction, and we'll break the record. In the age of parity in the league, that's not something you see very often.
Maybe Denver will get lucky and they'll get KC in a Week 17 matchup when Andy chooses to rest all of the starters again to get them ready for the playoffs. That might be their only hope.

Yeah, those records in the 60s... don't matter much to me, I wasn't around until 1971 and didn't start paying attention to Denver until 1984. Denver was oh so terrible early on.
I didn't think the streak would reach 9, but we're here... I just don't see it going to 14. 2020 will be 5 years since the SB win and while the last 3 seasons have been miserable, they're drafting better the last two years. Keep that streak going and it won't reach 14.
Denver and KC haven't split a season series since 2015, breaking the Broncos win streak at the time. Prior to Manning, it was a split more often than not in 2011 and before. Denver won 7 - the split - and KC has run it up to 9.
