Things to do in Denver: Denver Broncos at Mile High
Located in Denver, Colorado, the Broncos are perhaps one of the most successful franchises in the National Football League. As members of the AFC west division, their first season was back in 1960 and they have enjoyed some real success since their initial creation as a team. Playing at the at Mile High, they have also had a total of five different players added to the Hall of Fame which is in itself an amazing feat.
Success is a Tradition
Since the beginning of the team the Denver Broncos have had a lot of success including three Super Bowl victories in 1997, 1998 and 2015. Furthermore, they also have a total of eight conference championships and have only had 7 seasons where they have ended with a losing record over the year since 1975. That is in stark contrast to their first seasons where they struggled to make their mark until they had a major breakthrough in 1977 when they reached the play-offs for the first time and ultimately made it all the way to the Super Bowl itself.
However, they do also share a record that they wish they didn’t have next to their name with a total of five Super Bowl losses which is a record that they share with the New England Patriots.
Famous Players
Perhaps the most famous player has to be John Elway, the star quarterback that dominated an era for the Broncos. They have also had Peyton Manning as a quarterback for a number of years meaning they have had two stellar players in that position over the years. With famous players, you could also throw in the likes of Terrell Davis and Floyd Little who represented the toughness and unity of the team across a number of seasons.
