Denver Broncos have yet to trail in fourth quarter this season despite losing two of three games

As a diehard Denver Broncos fan myself, I assure you that I am not trying to add salt to the wound after two incredibly frustrating losses by the team, but one stat popped out at me and I just had to share…

The team is three games into the season and has not been behind for even one second in the fourth quarter of any of those games, yet they’ve lost two of them. Of course, in the last two games, the Broncos had a lead as the clock hit zero, but with the ball in flight by the opposing team’s kicker, eventually going between the uprights, the Broncos have seen back-to-back losses, one by a single point and one by three points.

I’ve searched everywhere to see if this has ever happened in the NFL before, and I can’t find any info on the stat. I will say that if it has happened, it has to be extremely rare.

I suppose knowing the team is right there in these games brings some solace, but it doesn’t take away the pain of these heartbreaking losses!
