American Football Conference · AFC West · 1 Super Bowl (2015)
Founded in 1959, the Denver Broncos play their home games at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado, with headquarters in Dove Valley. The franchise is owned by Rob Walton, with George Paton serving as general manager and Sean Payton as head coach. The team has earned nicknames like Orange Crush and No Fly Zone over the years. The Broncos captured a Super Bowl championship in 2015 with a 12–4 record, though the years that followed brought inconsistency—a stretch from 2017 to 2022 that saw just one winning season. The tide turned under Payton's leadership: an 8–9 campaign in 2023 gave way to a 10–7 playoff berth in 2024, followed by a 14–3 surge in 2025. The current roster features quarterback Bo Nix, cornerback Pat Surtain II, pass rusher Nik Bonitto, and receivers Courtland Sutton, Jaylen Waddle, and Marvin Mims Jr.
