This is the fourth straight losing season for the Broncos and the fifth year in a row without a playoff appearance. The Broncos have not had four straight losing seasons in my lifetime. The last time this occurred was 1969-1972. From 1973-2016 the Broncos had a total of seven losing seasons and never more than one losing year without at least getting back to .500 the next season: that’s 7 in 44. Over the course of those 44 seasons the Broncos had a record of 412-270-4. That’s 142 games above .500.
This got me wondering about a few things:
- When was the last time each franchise had a four year losing streak (four straight losing seasons)?
