Denver Broncos is an American YouTube channel and a NFL football team located in Denver, Colorado.
==History==
The Denver Broncos were founded on August 14, 1959, when minor league baseball owner Bob Howsam was awarded an American Football League charter franchise. The Broncos won the first-ever AFL game over the Boston Patriots 13–10, on September 9, 1960. Seven years later on August 5, 1967, they became the first-ever AFL team to defeat an NFL team, with a 13–7 win over the Detroit Lions in a preseason game. https://www.profootballhof.com/teams/denver-broncos/team-facts/ 
Denver came close to losing its franchise in 1965, until a local ownership group took control, and rebuilt the team. https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=csNNAAAAIBAJ&sjid=gUkDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4223%2C3217349 The team's first superstar, "Franchise" Floyd Little, was instrumental in keeping the team in Denver, due to his signing in 1967 as well as his Pro Bowl efforts on and off the field. The Broncos were the only original AFL team that never played in the title game, as well as the only original AFL team never to have a winning season while a member of the AFL during the upstart league's 10-year history. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/den 
In 1972, the Broncos hired former Stanford University coach John Ralston as their head coach. In 1973, he was the UPI's AFC Coach of the Year, after Denver achieved its first winning season at 7–5–2. Following the season, several prominent players publicly voiced their discontent with Ralston, which soon led to his resignation. http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nfl/denver/broncos.html
Red Miller, a long-time assistant coach, was hired and along with the Orange Crush Defense and aging quarterback Craig Morton, took the Broncos to what was then a record-setting 12–2 regular-season record and their first playoff appearance in 1977, and ultimately made their first Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl XII, in which they were defeated by the Dallas Cowboys, 27–10. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/den/1977.htm 
===Super Bowl XXXIII===
During the 1997 season, Elway and Davis helped guide the Broncos to their first Super Bowl victory, a 31–24 win over the defending champion Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXII. Though Elway completed only 13 of 22 passes, throwing one interception and no touchdowns, Davis rushed for 157 yards and a Super Bowl-record three touchdowns to earn the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award, this while overcoming a severe migraine headache that caused him blurred vision. http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/history/boxscore/sbxxxii 
The Broncos repeated as Super Bowl champions the following season, defeating the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl XXXIII, 34–19. Elway was named Super Bowl MVP, completing 18 of 29 passes for 336 yards, with an 80-yard touchdown to wide receiver Rod Smith and one interception. https://web.archive.org/web/20110622064747/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/1998/playoffs/news/1999/01/24/superbowl_feud/ 
===Super Bowl 50===
Shortly after Kubiak became head coach, the Broncos underwent numerous changes to their coaching staff and players, including the hiring of defensive coordinator, defensive mastermind Wade Phillips, under whom the Broncos' defense went from middle of the road to being ranked No. 1 in the NFL. By the 2015 season, it would go on to be considered one of the greatest NFL defenses of all time. http://www.nfl.com/stats/team?seasonId=2015&seasonType=&Submit=Go 
The Broncos hired Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph as head coach on January 11, 2017. https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/broncos-appoint-vance-joseph-a-leader-of-men-as-new-head-coach-18429631
In an effort to address poor production from the offense, the Broncos signed quarterback Case Keenum on March 14, 2018, and traded away Trevor Siemian to the Minnesota Vikings on March 19, 2018.
On May 1, 2018, the Broncos signed local undrafted free agent running back Phillip Lindsay, who became a fan favorite due to his underdog mentality, explosive play style and local roots. Lindsay became the first undrafted player in NFL history with 100+ scrimmage yards in each of their first two games https://www.nfl.com/news/broncos-rb-phillip-lindsay-sets-nfl-rookie-record-0ap3000000963435 and on December 18, 2018, Lindsay was voted to the 2019 Pro Bowl, making him the first undrafted offensive rookie in NFL history to be voted to a Pro Bowl. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ftw/2018/12/18/broncos-phillip-lindsay-nfl-history-named-pro-bowl/38763589/
