The Kansas City Chiefs are off to a perfect start to the 2024 NFL season. When it looked like the Denver Broncos would end their streak in Week 10, a blocked field goal saved Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes‘ incredible run.
With a strong 9-0 record, the team’s unbeaten streak this year is even longer if we consider last season. The Chiefs haven’t lost a game since December 25, 2023, when they were still in the 2023 NFL season.
Kansas City’s last loss so far came at the hands of division rivals Las Vegas Raiders, who beat Mahomes and Reid’s team 20-14 on Christmas Day in Week 16 of the 2023 NFL regular season.
The Chiefs’ 15 consecutive wins
Since then, the Chiefs managed to string great results together. Going back to last season, Kansas City is currently riding on 15 straight victories, the longest active streak in the NFL. These are all the games Reid and Mahomes’ team has won after that loss on December 25, 2023:

What is the longest winning streak in the NFL?
Reid and Mahomes still have work to do to tie the league record. The longest winning streak in NFL history belongs to the Indianapolis Colts, who managed to win 23 consecutive games from November 2008 to December 2009.
How many NFL teams have gone unbeaten in an entire season?
Apart from chasing the longest winning streak record, the Chiefs are also dreaming with the possibility of finishing the year unbeaten. Only one team has so far managed to pull off that feat.
In 1972, the Miami Dolphins became the first and so far only team in NFL history to finish a season without defeat. That team went 14-0 in the regular season en route to Super Bowl VII victory, achieving something that remains unmatched more than 50 years later.
