The Denver Broncos suffered their first six game losing streak since 1990 with a 20-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The season has become worse.

At this point of the losing streak, is there anything left to say? The Denver Broncos are setting the wrong kind of records this season. Another one that has not been accomplished for nearly 30 years was made today.

Final. 17. 45. 20. 56

With a chance to drive down to at least tie up the game, Brock Osweiler and the Broncos offense once again could not get the job done. The defense allowed three touchdowns, two to A.J. Green. Bradley Roby got beat on both of Green’s touchdown’s.

The game started off bad with Dre Kirkpatrick returning a Brock Osweiler interception 100 yards to set up the first touchdown for the Bengals. From there, the Broncos had some moments where they were good, but it was more bad than good.

Things became interesting when Osweiler found Demaryius Thomas for a touchdown with a little over five minutes to go in the game to make the score 20-17. However, the offense could not get one final drive to help end this losing streak.

Denver has now matched their loss total from last season at seven. They have not won a game since the bye. Six straight losses and seven of the last eight have ended up in the loss column.

What makes this loss even worse is that some of the teams ahead of the Broncos for the final wild card spot did not win either. It was a perfect chance to be within one game of the final spot. But with each passing week, it is looking more like a Top Ten pick in the draft is becoming a reality.

For the final six games, the Denver Broncos will be on the road four of those six. The team travels to Oakland for a meeting with the Raiders.
