The one insane streak no one is talking about with the Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs barely squeaked out a win against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Even as they were up 27-0, the streak everyone has been talking about is on the line.
It was 13 straight wins against the Broncos, which is now 14, obviously. That is all everyone has been talking about. So much so, that we didn't even notice another insane streak over the last few years that has now grown even bigger.
Mahomes and the Chiefs have won 15 straight AFC West road games. Just reading that makes me further understand just how hard that is. I think Mahomes knows too.
“First off, I think it is really cool [with] the stadiums and the fan bases that we get to go to," Mahomes started. "If you look at our division, the stadiums and the fan bases are top-notch. You know when you go, it is going to be loud, and it is going to be at an awesome stadium.
"You are going to have to play your best football to win. I did just enough today against a really good defense to win. I mean they have a really good defense. We focus on those teams all off-season, Denver, the Chargers, and the Raiders. We try to game plan for them and we try to execute at a high level.”
The Chiefs have played a close game with every AFC West team this year so far, and they only have two of those games left. Even the rest of the AFC West have played each other close, besides maybe one game between the Raiders and Broncos.
These games are a battle. These teams do not like each other, at all, and history would agree with that statement. I mean, it may not have quite worked out that way, but there is a reason why everyone predicted this division to be the toughest.
The Chiefs have not only won their 14th straight game against the Broncos, and will not only win their seventh division title but have also won 15 straight AFC West games on the road.
