Mediocre

Well, the Broncos finished their year yesterday by getting blown away at home by one of the worst teams in the NFL, the KC Chiefs. They finished the year 8-8, which is precisely the record I expected before their unexpected 6-0 start.

8-8 is a very average record. It's 50 percent. It's neither a winning record nor a losing record.

Being so mediocre is one thing, but the Broncos have taken it to a whole new level. A few stats for your consumption: the Broncos were 4-4 at home, and 4-4 on the road. They were 6-6 against AFC teams, and 2-2 against NFC teams. They were 3-3 against teams in their division, the AFC West. They were 1-1 against San Diego, 1-1 against Oakland, and 1-1 against Kansas City. They were 2-2 against the AFC Central. Over the past four seasons of not making the playoffs, they are 32-32.

Now that's mediocre!

BTW - The last time the Broncos went four straight seasons without making the playoffs was 1976.

These are the best stats I've ever seen rattled off one after the other like that. Thank you for getting this information out there.
