By virtue of their victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11, the New England Patriots assured themselves of a 19th consecutive winning season. That mark is the second-longest in NFL history, just one shy of tying the Dallas Cowboys, who had 20 consecutive winning seasons from 1966-1985.
The Patriots are also inching closer to both their 11th consecutive postseason appearance as well as their 11th consecutive division title. Should they win the AFC East again this year, they’ll further extend their own record for the longest streak of consecutive division titles won by an NFL franchise.
