It’s been 2,949 days since the Denver Broncos last beat the Kansas City Chiefs. They have a chance to end that streak this week when they travel to Arrowhead Stadium for Thursday Night Football.
What did life in the United States look like at the time of that occurrence?
- Barack Obama remained the President of the United States.
- A gallon of gas cost $2.37
- In the United States, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” claimed the top spot as the highest-grossing film, with “Jurassic World,” “Furious 7,” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron” trailing closely behind.
- The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face” claimed the number one spot on the charts in the United States.
- Queen Elizabeth II recently marked her 63rd year and 217th day on the British throne, making her the longest-reigning monarch in British history and the longest-serving head of state in modern history across all nations.
After a successful 12-4 season, the Broncos triumphed over the Carolina Panthers to claim victory in Super Bowl 50. Von Miller’s outstanding performance earned him the title of Super Bowl MVP. Shortly after this glorious win, quarterback Peyton Manning announced his retirement.
Since 2016, the Broncos have been unable to secure a spot in the playoffs and have failed to achieve a winning record in any season.
