But the Broncos have not won 11 in a row by accident. They’ve done it as a team, prevailing in games when their offense was terrible (13-11 over the Jets, 10-7 over the Raiders) and when their defense struggled (22-19 over the Chiefs, 27-26 over the Commanders and Sunday against the Packers).
The Broncos are in a great position at 11-2, but the next four opponents, with the quality of the offenses and the weapons they have, could be a threat. The Broncos need their defense to be that standout top-three unit that it was for the first 12 weeks.
The Green Bay Packers are no longer in first place in the NFC North after losing to the Denver Broncos 34-26 on Sunday Night Football, and some are starting to wonder about the future of head coach Matt LaFleur.
The Broncos ripped off 20 of the game’s final 23 points, Surtain’s defense put the clamps on a prolific Packers offense in the second half and Denver pushed its winning streak to 11 games.
In a game that featured six lead changes, the Broncos made a series of big plays in the second half to earn their 11th consecutive win and improve to 12-2 on the season. With the win, the Broncos became the first team in the AFC to clinch a playoff berth and hold the No. 1 seed in the AFC through Week 15.
