If you hadn't heard, the New York Red Bulls have quietly put together an 18-game unbeaten streak in MLS, which is one game shy of the league's all-time record.
The streak has been quiet because between the 16-game run that carried the team to a regular-season Eastern Conference title in 2016 and the two wins that have started RBNY's 2017 league campaign, there were a series of stinging losses. The string of good results in the league didn't count for much in the 2016 playoffs, where the Red Bulls lost home and away to Montreal Impact.
