ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Only two teams have put together six-game win streaks in each of the past two seasons – the Broncos and the Patriots.

Last season, the Broncos won in Weeks 9-14, turning a 2-5 record into an AFC West Championship. This year, the team’s current eight-game streak took the club from a 2-3 record to another division title.

The streaks produced the same result, but the way they’ve evolved has been completely different.

In 2011, the Broncos’ average score during the streak was 22.7-17.0, a 5.7-point margin of victory. The streak included a pair of overtime wins and an additional two victories secured with scores in the final minute of regulation. Only once during the 2011 streak did the Broncos win by more than four points, a 38-24 win at Oakland.

This season, the numbers tell a different story. The average score over the current streak has been 30.0-17.9, a 12.1-point margin of victory. Only one game has been decided by seven points or less, a 30-23 win against San Diego in Week 11.

The margin of victory and first down percentage are what jumps out at me the most.

I would like to see the stat that has passing yards per game and completion percentages. That, I think is the key difference.

the only stat that is remotely close is INTs,
I was initially stunned, but then realized the true reason,
TT throws so many uncatchable balls, even for the defenses !

Sounds like we've had a pretty good team the last two years. And very capable of hot streaks. Let's hope we have one starting in the playoffs.
