The Denver Broncos are a professional American football team based in Denver, Colorado, competing in the National Football League (NFL) as part of the AFC West division. Founded in 1960, the franchise has won three Super Bowl championships (1997, 1998, 2015) and boasts one of the NFL's most passionate fanbases. The Broncos play home games at Empower Field at Mile High and are known for their iconic orange and navy blue colors, Thunder the mascot, and the 'Orange Crush' defense legacy.
Entering the 2023 season under new head coach Sean Payton, the Broncos aim to rebound from a 7-10 campaign in 2022 that saw them miss the playoffs for the seventh consecutive year. Recent organizational stability came with a 5-year contract extension for GM George Paton in May 2023, signaling long-term trust in his roster-building vision. Key players like cornerback Patrick Surtain II and safety Justin Simmons anchor the defense, while the offense looks to revitalize quarterback Russell Wilson after a disappointing 2022. The team added depth through the 2023 draft, including WR Marvin Mims Jr. and LB Drew Sanders.
