The Denver Broncos are one of the NFL’s most respected franchises. Over the last two decades, the Broncos were one of the perennial contenders in the league. The rivalry between Peyton Manning and Tom Brady defined the NFL in the 2000s and 2010s. While Manning is long gone, there are other players present with the team still worthy of respect. Melvin Gordon believes that he isn’t getting enough respect from the league. Denver Broncos [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/denver-broncos/] running back Melvin Gordon [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/melvin-gordon/] spoke in an interview [https://www.nfl.com/news/broncos-rb-melvin-gordon-i-get-overlooked-a-lot-and-i-am-kind-of-sick-of-it?campaign=Twitter_atn] recently. He talked about his first season with the Broncos after leaving the Chargers. Gordon noted how difficult his first season with the Broncos, especially with the presence of Phillip Lindsay. Gordon had to find his place in the team, but felt like he wasn’t fully accepted by the team around him. Melvin Gordon [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200521192641/melvingordondoingfootballstuffusatsi.jpg] READ MORE: Is Logan Paul Capable Of Becoming an NFL Wide Receiver? [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-is-logan-paul-capable-of-becoming-an-nfl-wide-receiver-cam-newton/] “It was probably one of my most difficult seasons. I am not going to lie. Just ’cause a lot of fans and a lot of people weren’t too happy with me coming in and Phil wanting to get paid and everything like that. I was like, ‘Look man, I had no parts in that.’ I wanted to be here, and they wanted me to be here. It was a mutual thing and it kind of just happened. It was tough, man, because I felt like a lot of people didn’t accept me.” MELVIN GORDON TIRED OF THE DISRESPECT Gordon added that he wants to come back this season and put up a great performance. After struggling last year, the running back is focused on being one of the best in his positions. Gordon noted how difficult the last few seasons had been, with the Chargers and the lack of exposure, and the absence of fans with the Broncos due to COVID-19. He wants to stop being overlooked and believes he deserves more respect. Melvin Gordon [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200521192236/melvin-gordon-chargers.jpg] “Yeah, I just want to come out and be the best back. I would love the rushing title, you know what I mean? I want to be the best back, I feel like I am so overlooked. Whatever that case maybe because we didn’t get a lot of TV time with the Chargers and last year with splitting the ball and the fans not being there because of COVID, I don’t know. But I get overlooked a lot and I am kind of sick of it.” READ MORE: Insane Records Held by New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-insane-records-held-by-new-england-patriots-head-coach-bill-belichick/] Can the Denver Broncos find success this season? After floundering over the last few years, the Broncos will hope to earn a playoff spot next season. 

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon feels he is consistently overlooked in
the NFL, and will no longer stand for this.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Denver Broncos 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-498446 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201231150519/broncos.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="900" />
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-498440 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201231150316/cbs-1.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />
<p style="text-align: center">The 2020 season left plenty to be desired and the Denver Broncos were officially out of contention early on. They placed 4<sup>th</sup> 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.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-498449 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201231150654/denny.png" alt="" width="1000" height="560" />
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-498455 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201231150945/patty.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" />
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"> Denver Broncos 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Frequent franchise partners BetMGM and the Broncos agreed to a multi-year sports betting partnership that includes a premium lounge at Empower Field at Mile High. The Lounge will allow fans 21 years and older access to a full-service premium bar, a luxury lounge, and live odds with BetMGM’s mobile app.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Additionally, the Broncos also have a tie-up with Betfred USA Sports ahead of Betfred’s launching a Colorado presence. Not to mention, the club agreed to a multi-year deal with FanDeul Group for legalized sports betting and daily fantasy partnership. The partnership gives Fan Duel access to official Broncos marks and logos to use across FanDuel’s sports betting offerings in Colorado.</p>
