| How Many Super Bowl Wins Do The Denver Broncos Have |
From Humble Beginnings to...Well, Still Pretty Humble
The Broncos weren't exactly lighting the scoreboard on fire in their early years. They stumbled through their first decade like a lost tourist in Ikea, searching for the exit. But fear not, Broncos fans! There's a light at the end of the tunnel (unless it's just Peyton Manning staring down a laser pointer).
John Elway Enters the Ring (and the Super Bowl...a Lot)
Then, a golden-haired gunslinger named John Elway rode into town. Elway, with his cannon for an arm and a winning smile that could melt glaciers, led the Broncos to a whopping eight AFC Championship appearances. That's a whole lotta conference championship swag, folks!
But here's the rub: those eight appearances translated into only three Super Bowl victories. Three! You'd think with all that mountain air, Elway could have seen the winning plays a mile away. Some might say the Broncos had a case of the Super Bowl fumbles in those early years.
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
Finally, Victory! (and More Fumbles)
Don't worry, Broncos Country, there were triumphs too! Super Bowl XXXII (1998) saw Elway lead the Broncos to a glorious victory over the Green Bay Packers. They followed that up with another win in Super Bowl XXXIII (1999) against the Atlanta Falcons. Those were the good ol' days!
Fast forward to Super Bowl 50 (2016), and the Broncos, led by the defense (because, let's face it, Peyton Manning wasn't exactly young anymore) managed to snag another Lombardi trophy against the Carolina Panthers. So, there you have it. Three Super Bowl wins, folks! Not too shabby, considering they also hold the record (tied with the New England Patriots, boo hiss) for most Super Bowl losses (five).
But hey, at least they're keeping things interesting, right?
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
