The Colorado Rapids are having a dream season in 2016. They are leading the league in points per game and are currently on a 14-game unbeaten run, the longest in their history.
Colorado have had some great seasons in the past, including the 2010 season that ended with them lifting the MLS Cup, but no stretch has matched this one.
The 14-game streak is tied for the eighth-longest in MLS history and the longest since 2013. It is somewhat surprising that they haven't had a streak as long, or longer, considering they are now in their 21st season.
Of course, not every team can say that.
Shockingly, despite being part of the league since its inaugural season in 1996, the New York Red Bulls have not had an unbeaten streak longer than nine games in their history. That streak did not even come during the Supporters' Shield-winning seasons of 2013 and 2015.
