Denver Broncos 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report

The Denver Broncos entered the American Football League (AFL) and joined the NFL as part of a merger in 1970. The initial stint wasn?t smooth, to say the least, and the Broncos weren?t competitive during the 10-year run in the AFL. Their woes continued into the early days of the NFL as well. Chiefly, they did not have a winning season until 1973.

Four years later, the Denver Broncos qualified for the playoffs for the first time in franchise history and advanced to Super Bowl XII. Their fortune turned for the better after 1975 and the club only suffered nine losing seasons. They scalped eight AFC Championships and three Super Bowl championships, the most recent being in 2015.

Their high hit-rate in Super Bowl appearance means they also share the NFL record for the most Super Bowl losses (tied with the New England Patriots-5).? Not to mention, their lofty success has produced several pro-bowl Hall of Famers and MVP candidates through their years of dominance at the top.

The 2020 season left plenty to be desired and the Denver Broncos were officially out of contention early on. They placed 4 in the AFC West rounding out a losing 5-11 overall record. The Broncos failed to improve on their 7-9 season from last year. What?s more, they suffered their fourth consecutive losing season.

Logo

The original logo depicted a football player riding a bronco horse, and this image stayed with the team for one year. The next logo that ran from 1962 to 1967 gave the earlier design a more fierce look. The football player was now standing on the back of an orange horse. Both the Bronco and the player looked more brutal.

The following years removed the rider and a ?D? emblem was used which saw a bronco horse emerging vertically drawn in white with a black outline. From 1997 to modern-day, the Denver Broncos Logo has remained the now-iconic horse profile facing right. The bronco?s head in white features a dark outline and the main and eyes are orange colored.

Owner Achievements

Pat Bowlen was the majority owner of the Denver Broncos right up to his death in June 2019. The Bowlen family, including two of his brother, purchased the team from Edgar Kaiser back in 1984. Bowlen served as Broncos CEO until July 2014 where he stepped down from the position due to the progression of Alzheimer?s disease.

After Bowlen acquired the team in 1984, the Broncos briefly held the highest winning percentage of any active franchise in the league. The metrics stood at 334 wins, 212 losses, and 1 tie, rounding out a 0.612 winning percentage passing the San Francisco 49?ers after the 2015 season. At the time of Bowlen?s death, the New England Patriots had surpassed that figure.

In August 2022 the Walmart heir Samuel Robson Walton took ownership of the Denver Broncos. He bought the franchise for a whopping $4.65 Billion, the most ever paid for a franchise in the history of all sports.
