Broncos Get Much-Needed Break After Grueling Stretch of Games

The Denver Broncos are finally getting a much-needed break after an intense stretch of games that saw them achieve an NFL-best seven-game winning streak in just 39 days. According to Adam Schefter, this remarkable feat ties the Broncos with the 1973 Miami Dolphins and the 2021 Green Bay Packers for the most wins in that time frame since 1935, as noted by the Elias Sports Bureau.

This grueling stretch included a variety of challenges, such as a Monday Night Football game, an East Coast matchup, a trip to London, and four fourth-quarter comeback victories. Additionally, the Broncos had to navigate a short week with a Thursday Night Football game, where they managed to secure a win, bringing their record to an impressive eight wins and two losses.

Despite the physically and mentally exhausting nature of this run, the team demonstrated resilience, particularly evident in their hard-fought victory against the Las Vegas Raiders, which was described as 'painfully ugly.' However, as the report states, good teams find a way to win even in tough situations, and Denver did just that.

The timing of this mini bye week could not be better, as it allows players to recuperate and strategize for their upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs. This game is particularly crucial, as it follows a demanding schedule, and the added rest might significantly benefit the Broncos.

With only one game in the next 23 days, the team has the opportunity to rest and recharge, which could pay dividends in their performance moving forward. The upcoming matchup against the Chiefs is expected to be a significant test, and the additional recovery time could help the Broncos maintain their winning momentum as they prepare for this crucial divisional clash.
