KANSAS CITY — A win today at Arrowhead Stadium would give John Fox and the Broncos the second-longest road division winning streak in NFL history.
The longest road division streak was put together by the Joe Montana-dynasty San Francisco 49ers, who won 12 NFC West road games in a row from October, 1987 until December, 1990.
Fox has two teams that are tied for the second-longest streak with 10 consecutive road division wins — his Carolina Panthers from 2004-07 and his current Broncos, who started their 10-game streak with a Tim Tebow-led victory at Oakland in November, 2011.
The longest road division winning streaks in NFL history according to the Elias Sports Bureau:
