How the Broncos have had the most regular-season wins since 2025

The Denver Broncos enter their bye week riding a five-game winning streak with another reason to feel confident about their direction. Their latest victory reinforced a distinction that stretches beyond this season's AFC West race.

After finishing 14-3 in 2025, Denver has opened 2026 with seven victories in nine games. The Broncos have maintained their winning pace while building a half-game division lead over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Predominantly Orange highlighted Denver’s sustained success Friday on X, formerly Twitter, sharing a graphic from StatMuse that put the Broncos’ winning ways in league-wide perspective:

“From 2025 through 2026, the Denver Broncos have the most wins by a team in the regular season, with 21 wins.”

Denver has won 21 regular-season games since the beginning of 2025, the most in the NFL during that span. Its combined 21-5 record across 26 games produces a winning percentage of approximately .808. The total excludes postseason games.

The Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars each have 19 victories over the same period. Buffalo, San Francisco and Jacksonville have played one fewer game than Denver, providing important context for the comparison.

Still, the Broncos’ advantage reflects their ability to follow a division-winning season with another productive start.

Broncos keep winning with timely plays on both sides

The Broncos’ latest victory came last Sunday in Week 9, when they took down the Carolina Panthers 26-21 at Bank of America Stadium.

The Broncos needed several decisive fourth-quarter plays to secure their fifth consecutive win.

Safety Devon Key intercepted a pass in the end zone, setting up an 80-yard touchdown drive. Rookie running back Jonah Coleman finished the possession with a 9-yard scoring run, putting Denver ahead 19-14 with 10:17 remaining in the final quarter.

Bo Nix later found Pat Bryant for a 26-yard touchdown pass, extending the advantage to 26-14. Carolina responded and regained possession with an opportunity to complete a comeback, but Nik Bonitto’s late strip-sack helped preserve Denver’s lead.

The result sent the Broncos into their Week 10 bye at 7-2, ahead of the 6-2 Chiefs.

The Broncos still have work ahead to defend their AFC West divisional crown. As of now, however, no NFL team has won more regular-season games since the start of 2025.
