- The history of the Denver Broncos chronicles the saga of one of the NFL's most successful franchises from the early days of the AFL, through Broncomania, to the Elway area, right up to the present day. Two minutes to go...the metal rafters of mile high resonate with the fury of 76,000 wild BRONCOMANIACS...Elway takes the snap and the glorious history of the Denver Broncos starts yet another chapter. NFL Films takes you inside the Broncos with ELWAY, ALZADO, SHANAHAN, and many more. You'll see the breathtaking comebacks, meet the royalty of orange and blue, and relive the glory of the two-time Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos.
I’m from the UK Liverpool. I’ve only recently started watching the NFL, I chose the Denver Broncos as my team Because I love South Park 😂 I’m still learning so much about the Broncos history and also the rules of the sport. My little boy is hooked to and already has a jersey. Looking forward to the ride. Go Broncos

I've been a bronco since 1987 I was 15 years old. I'm 48 now. And I just love the Denver broncos. You picked the best team. I got my wife into th broncos. All the best pal. Jay.👍

blog boi Ey boss.
Me too
Awesome! Go BRONCOS!!!!
I was in those east side floating stands back in the 1960's as a kid and understand the love between the Bronco's and their fans. No matter what the score or the season record, we couldn't wait for the next game. The great ones that made it happen, Floyd Little, Rich Jackson, Marlin Briscoe, Dave Costas, Al Denson, Bill Thompson, and on and on. I remember them all like it was yesterday. I remember when Rich Jackson put the hit on Joe Namath Sept 21, 1969 in their 20-18 victory over the Super Bowl champs and how gutsy Joe Namath was to get up and play on after writhing in pain for what seemed like an eternity. So many incredible moments in those early years. Left Denver for Indiana in 1971 but am a lifelong Bronco Fan despite being here in Colts Country (my #2 fav). Someday, I'll return to Denver where Mile High use to be before I pass, just to spend one last moment in remembrance of most fun I've ever had in my lifetime.
Thank you Denver, you'll forever be in my heart.
Was it Jackson who hit Namath or Dave Costa?
I love Colorado
I love Denver
I love Denver Broncos
Thanks Anna for making me part of this passion.
Greetings from Argentina to all Broncos fans.
Can't believe we almost lost our Broncos in the 60's but thanks to all our hometown die hards sticking together we kept our team and because of that we are the only team in the AFC west to never been relocated! BRONCOS COUNTRY #1 FANS! 🔶️🔷️🔶️🔷️🔶️🔷️🔶️🔷️
Broncos fan forever.
the Elway years were the best years in the history of the NFL.
Drew Lock is gonna give the Franchise another 2 decades of dominance very comparable to John Elway did, just watch ;) ⏳💣🏈💪🔷💣🔶
@@harleyhamlin6705 As a Broncos fan I can honestly say, YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND. The Broncs will be lucky to win a Super Bowl in the next decade. Now, honestly, I have to see more of Drew Lock, then my opinion may change. I like the direction the team is going in, but, WE NEED GREAT QB PLAY. i'LL BE BACK!!
@@bishlap Between Drew Lock's college tape and what I've seen as far as the growth shown just from his pre season to his play at the end of the season, I have 100% full confidence that Drew Lock is more than capable of leading our franchise. He has everything you could ask in a young QB; leadership, moxy, growth and understanding of the game, charisma, gunslinger mentality, not to mention a straight CANNON of an arm and deep ball accuracy, coaching/surrounding talent. Honestly at this point i would be surprised if he doesn't become our Franchise for the next decade +.. I'm willing to bet by the end of the season they'll be talking about him as a contender in the AFC in the same conversation alongside Mahomes, Jackson, Allen. They'll be calling him top 10 at least, I'm willing to go as far as top 5, and saying we have the most dynamic young offense in the entire league 💯🏈💪 .. ⏳💣
One thing we have that KC does not, a game changing defense . only difference is now we will not have to lean on them . Only other thing i can ask now is that they make Lindsay a lifetime Bronco RB, and to fix our secondary. Then we are set. 💯⏳💣
🔷🐴🔶
@@harleyhamlin6705 that's a strong assessment considering his game (in) experience. My point was/is - if he's ready, then so are the Broncos. The team has slowly rebuilt from what was left after the last Super Bowl win and they're now young and ready... I can't speak of intangibles bc I have no knowledge of any. Drew Lock ready, then The Broncos should be very tough this yr.
@@harleyhamlin6705 Your comment didn't age well. I do like the Broncos potential on offense. They should have never signed Melvin Gordon and put that money into the OL and got the best OL in football. They have some great young WRs to build with and a good young TE.
This needs an update now! SB 50 Champs! Congrats Bronco fans!
super bowl cmamps😲
as much we are rivals but my respect too you all broncos fans and the team
we miss the days of old and as much as raider fans can be nuts I know bronco fans are same.way.. in history there are only two great teams from the afc west.

Denver I LOVE YOU
I've followed the Broncos since I served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Colorado from 1979-81. I'd come over from Scotland. The first Broncos game I saw on TV they got hammered something like 40-6. But that was me hooked!! Broncos ALWAYS No 1 no matter what the score!! :)
You followed the Broncos while you followed the devil. Cool
Ayyyyy my man. My grandparents and some of my moms family are Scottish. I was born and raised in Colorado and I’m a fellow Broncos fan. 🏴

So proud to be a Denver Broncos fan.
Greetings from Heraklion, Crete (Greece).
Let's win Super Bowl 50!!!
I loved my days living in Colorado, and watching the Broncos win 2 super bowls.
Wishing I could see one more this year!
I’m from Mexico and I’m an LA sports fan (Dodgers, Lakers, USC, Kings) but when it comes to nfl football I’m a broncos fan for life. My dad grew up seeing this team go to superbowl many times and win the 2 in the 90s. I’m so happy I got to see them win it in 2015 and I hope this season they can turn it around, VAMOS BRONCOS 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
As a steelers fan ,respect to denver and its fans from.syeeler nation uk
Respect to u 2
I live in (sheffield in the United kingdom) I have been a bronco since 1987. I'm 48 now and I still love the denver broncos. They are a big part of my life. I've got john always jersey. And all colours of von Miller's jersey. My next jerseys will be drew locks. And jerry Jeudys. Love you all. Broncos county.xxxx
I love your story and how you picked the best team
Hey that kid Lock might be the real deal.
@@maxwellvigil6084 hi Maxwell. Hope you are ok. I love the Denver broncos
@@jpmnky hi Jason. I hope drew lock will be great
There is nothing better than being a fan of the Denver Broncos. Hopeful that there is one more day of magic in the ol' arm of Peyton Manning and a superb defensive performance out of the Orange Crush. Thanks for posting this excellent film. Broncos Fan Forever!
The 1977 Broncos beat two of the best NFL teams of the 70’s in the playoffs. That was a big time achievement!!
One of the most diehard fan bases and has been that way since day 1. Win or lose, Denver fans love their teams!
I’m a Steelers fan but man I respect the heck out of Elway!
Steelers are a good nfl team. Thay have got a good history. Thay have been there and worn the t-shirt. I respect every nfl team. If it was not for the USA. We wouldn't have american football.👍I'm a denver bronco. But respect to united states of America. For giving the world american football. Because it's class.
The first Moses TD was not a bomb. It was a short pass with a great RAC.

Those old bronco uniforms and logo were SHARP looking, they should bring them back.
IKR go hroncos
Broncos*
Sharpe looking, you mean?
I'm sorry
The1964 I agree all orange helmet with man riding horse,and orange uniform,but not the1960brown bumble bee's they look silly.
I started watching the nfl about 2012, and watched a lot of teams and the Broncos interested me the most, and now I'm a huge fan of them. Traveled all the way to Denver this summer just to watch them practice. I am gonna be a Broncos fan till I die baby!
You know if you think about it the Broncos history is pretty interesting, GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!
i band wagon'd in 97, the first championship. i was 8 then :D GO BRONCOS!!!
Pale Horse89 hey same for me! Been a fan ever since go Broncos!!!
It feels like the Broncos never get the respect they absolutely deserve on the national level.
I love this team
This is what it's all about! Go out, and play your hearts out, and come out on top! Broncos on 3, 1-2-3 BRONCOS!
Go Broncos!!! #Orange&BlueNation!!! Exited outa my mind for Super Bowl!
R.I.P Coach Miller. Thanks for the memories.
Denver Broncos deserve to become the Super Bowl dynasty 🏆🏆🏆
Blue Jay brotha we are a dynasty
Always will be a broncos fan! That’s my team for life win or lose ❤️✊🏽
definitely alot of lose right now
Elbowbread you’re not wrong hahaha but can’t leave my boys ✊🏽 #missNFLseason
Always! They are building it back up though! We have watched Elway the player win 2 Super Bowls, Elway the GM help win the other super bowl. He helped assemble the greatest offense of all time and one of the greatest defenses of all time, now he is hopefully building a contender from the ground up! This year we will make the playoffs and watch Drew Lock make the league take notice of the Broncos!
@@lekz4312 ima vikinga fan so I am worried about all my aging players
That's the way to be brother. I've been a Bronco fan for over 50 years. I have never wavered. I sat through terrible seasons and Super Bowl losses. People made jokes and talked trash BUT I stayed a loyal fan and it was all worth it. Hey, when we see these videos about most teams, there is both winning and losing for the teams. Winning feels so much better when you were a fan while your team was losing. I too will always be a Bronco fan and I'm proud of that fact. Glad to see that you are too. Elway is a winner and he will be a winner in the front office as well. He will bring another great team to Denver and hopefully a few more Super Bowl victories. 🏈
I’m an Australian big BRONCOS fan let’s go ORANGE CRUSH !!!!!!!!!
Love to see a Broncos fan from outside America!
American football was on channel 4 in the UK back in the 80s. I was flicking through the tv channels and watched it. The denver broncos was playing. On there helmets was the letter D logo with thunder in the middle. And I loved that logo so much it made me a broncos fan. And I became a massive fan of the legendary number 7 jersey. Worn by the ledgendry quarterback ( Mr john elway) and that's how I became a bronco.
3 time Super Bowl champions now.
Those old broncos uniforms were sharp looking
I have been a fan since 1976, my family since 1960. I cry regularly when re-watching and cheering for my beloved Denver Broncos! One of the greatest days of my life was going to Super Bowl XXXII with my dad when we won our first World Championship!
Fan since 77! I'm still pissed off about SB XII!! Red Miller kept Craig Morton in too long and we got down 20-3 on that bogus TD by Butch Johnson.
As a lifelong Steelers fan I’ve always respected the Broncos & remember Elway’s first start along with Morton getting crushed in the Super Bowl. Great history & great fans. . 😀
WHO FUCKING CARES YOU FUCKING WASTE !
The McCaffrey and Shannahan connection... As a Niner fan I have the utmost respect for Broncos. One of the best fans in the nation 🙌
DENVER BRONCOS #1
elwin38 YEAAAAAAA BOIIIIIIII
From 2006 to 2010, that was one of the darkest times in our Broncos history...josh mcdouchbag was probably one of few mistakes made by our Mr.B, and Shanahan just could not build a contender after No.7 retired, managing only one playoff win!
Coincidentally, our Broncos has enjoyed a status of being a contender since...the aforementioned No.7 returns to our Broncos & rebuilt the team & brought back the title!!
24-10 victory..
Von eats Newton..
Broncos win sb 50 in a CRUSH
An Orange one? ;)
Chiefs 31 49ers 20 SBLIV
Terrell Davis won 2 SBs by himself.
Without Terrell? Elway NEVER WINS a Super Bowl.
I love the Broncos
I love all of yall man. Love my Broncos. My son even a Bronco. His punk ass brother is a Falcon but he'll see the light one day. When I die I want my ashes spread across the my Mile High. Then I will forever be in Denver lol
And the Broncos are the second most winning franchise in sports history, thus making them the most winning football team in NFL history.
Correction: The Broncos have the second best win percentage in sports since 1984.
I stand corrected, but tit for tat as far as I'm concerned. That's long enough to show continuity and a trend that isn't slowing down so far.
David Lyons Hell yeah!
I just stumbled into a 5 year old mini chat lol
@@davidlyons6235 Except..
I have only missed watching or going to 5 or 6 games at the most since 1981, Mark in California.
Rest in ☮️ Dan Reeves.
It's a sad memory for me, the injury to Eddie Mac ended his season, and the next morning was 9-11. I can't think of Eddie without that horrible memory of that Tuesday morning coming back to my mind. This video was so incredible, however. I loved every second.
Im so old I remember Floyd Little, the M&M connection, Rick Upchurch and when Alzedo was new to the team.
2 things:
If we loose every game and beat the Raiders once a year it was a good year
If we loose every game and beat the Raiders twice a year it was a fantastic year
Anything beyond that is pure gravy
Fuck the Raiders
GO BRONCOS!!!!
ps: And lets not forget my personal favorite.. the hardest hitting man in the business, Mr. *Dynamite*, the amazing Mr Please Please himself, the star of the show
#27, Mr. Steve Atwater.
33 years of non consecutive losing seasons and then the last 5 years. Man having an owner may be more important than most people think.
I have been a Bronco fan since I was a frosh in high school in HOUSTON, TEXAS in 1972, and we have never gone 33 seasons in a row
.500/breakeven or better, or just above .500..
You are forgetting the 6-8-0 team with Charlie Johnson hurt and out for good replaced by Steve Ramsey at qb in 1975, the 2-7-0 1982 strike/lockout shortened season team with Elway a rookie and playing ineffectively, sharing time with Steve deBerg who also played; and, the 5-11-0 club in '90 with ELWAY AND young RBACK, BOBBY HUMPHREY out for chunks of the season, the 7-9-0 team one year before Terrell Davis' rookie season= '95, in '94; and, the first season post-ELWAY AND THE BACK TO BACK SBOWLS, in 1999 AT 6-10 WITH FIRST, BUBBY BRISTER(0-4) AT QB, AND THEN BRIAN GRIESE(6-6); 2007 when they made the change to JAY CUTLER from a distraught and ready to quit JAKE PLUMMER who was down about his college and ARIZ. CARDS teammate, PAT TILLMAN getting killed in overseas combat by accidental friendly fire; and, 2010 with the ORTON injury fiasco= 4-12 the worst season since 1964.
And in 1972, in the Broncs' first season that I rooted for them, they had Don Horn at qb and after a 4-1-0 start for the second time in three seasons, lost all but one of their last nine games= 5-8-1 in 1970, and 5-9-0 in '72's season WITH JOHN RALSTON COMING IN AS HCOACH. The next season in '73 all of that young talent just blossomed once new qback and veteran, Johnson the former ST. LOU. CARDINAL came over from the HOUSTON OILERS, and the Broncos finished 7-5-2 and if not for a 24-19 loss at Denver vs. OAKLAND in the last game of the season, would have made our first playoffs. In 1974, Johnson guided Denver to a 7-6-1 record, and from that point on TILL THE LAST WINNING SEASON IN 2016-17, the Orange only had 7 losing seasons(1975, 82, '90, 94, 99, '07, and '10). In that time they finished .500 eight times during that 1974-75 - 2016-17 era= meaning 43 seasons, and they had only 15 seasons of .500 or less in that frame.
Only 6 times when they finished over .500 did the Orange fail to make the playoffs, while only one time as a
.500 team did they make the playoffs(2011 with ORTON & TEBOW).
That meant that 24 of 43 seasons in that era the Broncos qualified for the playoffs..
Those are the real numbers.
If Denver fails to finish .500 this season, that will be five straight losing seasons, six straight non-playoff seasons, and from 1974 to now= 24 of 48 seasons in the playoffs, 12 losing seasons, and 29 of 48 seasons over .500..with of course, 3 of 8 SB GAMES ENDING AS DENVER TITLE WINS..
The only time DB went on a .500 or better consecutives streak it encompassed hitting seven in a row twice. Seasons above .500= 5 in a row, twice..
That's all, good..but not what you said.
The real numbers..not 33 winners or .500 or betters in a row.
Nope..
@@robertsprouse9282 Good lord bro you literally wrote a whole essay on RUclips just to prove somebody wrong over such a simple fact 😭you must have nothing interesting going on in your life if you had the time to write all of that.

Go figure Denver Bronco fan my whole life the first big win season was the year I was born 73 baby go Broncos!
John Elway is my FAVORITE QB of all time I have SO SO SO MUCH RESPECT FOR John Elway he does so much for my favorite team the Denver Broncos
I love seeing Pat Bowlen in his fur coat on the sideline cheering on our Broncos against the browns where Elways creates history with The Drive.
Almost forgot R.I.P and thanks for what you did for the broncos Mr. PAT BOWLEN
It still hurts to this day 2022, old browns fan.
Born n raised in tx luv my tx denver broncos fan all the way luv my broncos till the end go broncos my favorite team gone to Colorado to see me broncos play beautiful city best team ever
Plummer was so underrated.
Plummer was born to early he would be good in this era of football
I just smiled for 1 hour and 42 mins. Love my team.
John Elway best quarterback
No, but he's my favourite. Go Broncos.
Elway, Alzado, Gradishar, Foley, Mecklenburg, Peyton. Some of the all time greats to play for Broncos.
No Sammy Winder?
and probably add rodgers in there to cause he might come to denver after this season.
℅BRONCO GANG OR DONT BANG℅
One love to all my bronco gang family.
1:08:48 - The memory us Broncos fans will have in our minds forever.
@ 22 seconds, Lou Saban, "They're killin' me Whitey! They're killin' me!" Always cracks me up. I used to work at a place and if things were getting a little down and people were kind of moping around, at some point someone would say, "They're killin' me Whitey! They're killin' me!" and everybody would just start laughing.
John Elway is the man with his magnificent 7 at the Super Bowl XXXII & XXXIII
RIP Barrel Man
Thanks for posting this.
RIP, BOB MARTIN--------ONE OF THE VERY BEST OF THE BEST.
The Denver Broncos have the highest winning percentage over 30 years which Pat Bowlen has been owner! Another Super Bowl win soon is inevitable! Go Broncos! : D
Duncan Hicks You haven't been watching who has been winning games at QB for the Broncos lately : D
+1Fireskull notice how he deleted his boneheaded comment whatever it was.
John Elway is my favorite QB of all time he’s so inspirational and I have so much respect for John Elway
I've been looking for this forever 😀😀😀
Broncos could have been a dynasty but we lost 3 super bowl in 4 years but I'm still happy to be a Bronco for life!
Terrell Davis nothing but class. He is not only a great player but is a exceptional man. Fallowed Denver in 1970 till today.
Damn, we really need an updated version of this. A lot has happened since this was made. That magic 2011 season with the Tebow to DT overtime TD in the playoffs. And of course 2012 when Peyton donned the orange and blue. And finally it goes without saying the 2015 season and Super Bowl 50. I wanted to list 2013 but for obvious reasons I try to forget how it ended. GO BRONCOS!! SB50 CHAMPS!!
Even the cutler years with marshall were kinda fun. till the end of the seasons anyways.
This was great. Thanks for posting. Go Broncos!
these players are awesome
Luv my broncos no matter what orange fever
I’m a youngin so I didn’t get to witness Elway a whole career and was really young his last years but everytime I see Elway story I cry thank you so much for the upload I’m happy to learn as much as I can about my favorite team !!!!!! My first Jersey was a Terrell Davis Jersey me and my step dad had matching ones and ever since I’ve been a broncos fan !!!!! All the way from Charlotte nc I hope one day I can make it to a game I actually wanna move that way sometime just everything about the team is amazing the fan base is great no matter ups and downs we are always there for the broncos I’m proud to call myself a broncos fan
go broncos
I almost cried when elway retired
My favorite team in old AFL,and always liked them in NFL merger,seen how they came from worse in so many years to first in so many years.
True fans watched the whole thing
BRONCOS FOR LIFE. I’ll bleed orange and blue till the day I die 🟠🟠🟠🟠🔵🔵🔵🔵
I'm a saints fan we had to wait longer than the Broncos but it was worth it allso
WE WIN AS A TEAM, AND LOOSE AS A TEAM. WE STAND TOGETHER THROUGH GOOD TIMES AND BAD TIMES, A BAND OF BROTHERS. WE ARE THE REAL '' AMERICAS TEAM'' WE ARE THE DENVER BRONCOS. R.I.P. PAT ( SUPER ) BOWLEN .
When I heard them say "Jake Plummer has the all time franchise record of passing yards with 4050" I thought lol Peyton manning set the all time NFL record with 5477, let alone the franchise record
BatmanCanFly well remember this was made 11 years ago
Was a record at the time.... Plummer was awesome in Denver
Champions again!
Broncos are 👍....awesome always!
Been a fan long before Elway ever took a snap in Orange and Blue. And watching this again, with it being so old. Its disturbs me how many Bronco players are not in HOF. The list is long. From owner to players. Mr. Bowlen deserved to be in years ago. For sure before Jerry Jones did. As for players, the list is long. I do know this. Still my fav WR duo, Rod Smith and Eddie Mac. Two most under rated WRs in league. Ed being one of the toughest WRs I've seen to this day. Orange and Blue Forever.
TD coming to Canton this year and I have to get in to meet him!!! I'm 5 miles from HOF.
Long Live John Elway.
Mario Marrero he's still alive
Broncos country forever
Go Broncos
go Broncos 💯
Orange Crush!. I live for the Denver Broncos, one of, if not, the best franchises in the NFL. Our History is rich and our stories are wholesome. There are only a few things in my life that I truly love and Denver Broncos fall underneath that category.
Nfl films are amazing thank.you
Who else a broncos fan
I'll always be a fan of yours mr. B
46:33: Man, Pat Bowlen was such a character. Who else could have pulled off wearing a full mink fur coat on the sideline? Lol. But he was such a great owner and provided his players with everything they needed to be successful. No questions asked. Every player on a Pat Bowlen team loved playing for him and wanted to deliver for Mr Bowlen.
And he stayed out of their business and let them run the team and play, didn't meddle and wasn't overbearing.
Barrelman-you are missed-definition of a superfan-RIP
We're such a great organization in my opinion. Our history is rich, and we've proven that we can make it. Our colors may be weird to some, but they are the color of our mountains and our sun sometimes. Orange sun and blueish mountains. We have that MILE HIGH MAGIC; whatever it really is, it helps us win at least once a season.
It's amazing how many Broncos are not in the Hall of Fame.
