  "account": "The Denver Broncos have achieved a remarkable feat by winning 16 consecutive games decided by a narrow margin. Quarterback Bo Nix has been the starter in all 16 games, tying the 2023-24 Kansas City Chiefs' record for the longest streak since 1950. The Broncos experienced their last loss in a one-score game in Week 3 of the 2025 season, falling 23-20 against the Chargers. Since then, they have triumphed in every one-score game they've played. Despite frequently being outgained, the Broncos have maintained this impressive streak. This season, they've done so even though their yardage differential stands at a league-worst minus-658. Notably, they've won three games this year while being outgained by 100 or more yards. The record for the most one-score game wins in a single season is four, achieved by eight different teams. If the Broncos secure two more victories this year, they will have the record to themselves. Their next chance to win a close game is on Sunday, when they face the Panthers in a rematch of Super Bowl 50.",
  "summary": "The Broncos keep finding ways to win games — especially close games.",
