Denver Broncos

Led by legendary quarterback and all-time NFL great John Elway, who spent his entire 16-year career in Denver, along with a stifling defense nickname the “Orange Crush,” the Denver Broncos were one of the best teams in the NFL throughout the 1980s and 90s, but just couldn’t get it done in the Super Bowl, losing in 1986, 1987, and 1989. Elway seemed like one of those unfortunate top athletes destined never to win a title, but in 1997, with the great man aged 38, the Broncos defeated Brett Favre’s favored Green Bay Packers in a scintillating 31-24 game to win Super Bowl XXXII. Elway even did it again before he retired and the Broncos won a third in 2015 with his successor Peyton Manning. Recent years have not been kind to the Broncos, however, as they have not been back to the playoffs since that last championship win.

Rival Teams

Nothing gets NFL football fans all revved up like watching their team square off against one of their biggest rivals. Here are two of the Denver Broncos’ most significant rivalries.

Denver Broncos vs Las Vegas Raiders

The rivalry between the Denver Broncos and the fearsome Oakland Raiders became the stuff of legend in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, with the two teams battling for control of the AFC West division. Their clashes have witnessed some remarkable drama, mostly at the expense of the Broncos, as when the Raiders came back from 24-0 down at halftime to beat them in 1988, live on Monday Night Football. With the Raiders now based in Las Vegas, the rivalry looks set to continue, though the teams will both need to improve to give it back some of the spice it had in previous decades. The Broncos and Raiders are scheduled to play one another twice in the upcoming season, on October 6 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver and on November 24 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Denver Broncos vs Kansas City Chiefs

The Denver Broncos’ rivalry with the Kansas City Chiefs (the current two-time consecutive Super Bowl holders) is known for having one of the most marked home field advantages of any NFL rivalry, with either team dominating the other at home. The series has also been dominated by quarterbacks, with Elway and Manning tormenting the Chiefs for years but Patrick Mahomes taming the Broncos consistently over the past decade. The Broncos and Chiefs are set to meet twice during the 2024-25 regular season, on November 10 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City and on January 5 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver.

2024-25 NFL Season Predictions

Which Teams Will Go To the 2024-25 NFL Playoffs?

There will be 14 teams that qualify for the Postseason—seven from the AFC and seven from the NFC—and despite an influx of new and talented QBs drafted by teams in the 2024 NFL Draft, expect at least 11 of the same teams in the NFL Playoffs as last season.

So, who are the four that might not make it this time and who didn’t make the Playoffs last year but might in the 2024-25 season? The Buccaneers, Browns, and Steelers may find it harder this time around, with the Falcons, Bengals, and Jets possibly making the Wild Card round.

Last season, the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers met in the NFC Championship Game, and the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs collided in the AFC Championship Game, with the 49ers meeting the Chiefs in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.

Expect those four heavyweights, along with the Packers, Eagles, Cowboys, and Rams in the NFC and the Texans and Bills in the AFC, to make it back to the NFL Playoffs next season.

Which Two Teams Will Go To Super Bowl LIX and Why?

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will be seeking their third straight Super Bowl win. With genius Head Coach Andy Reid, TE Travis Kelce, and a much-improved defense, they are the best team in the AFC and have lofty expectations. The Lions had the Niners on the ropes last year and have steadily improved the last two seasons. They are eyeballing a shot at the Super Bowl and have the skill position players and chip on their shoulders.

So Jared Goff and Detroit (12/1 to win the Super Bowl, DraftKings) could meet the best player in the NFL—Mahomes—and his Chiefs (+550) in Super Bowl LIX at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Sunday, February 9, 2025.

Trade Rumors and Draft Picks

After missing the postseason again in 2023-24 to make it eight straight seasons, the Denver Broncos will be desperate to rebuild their squad with free agents, new talent from the draft, and trades with other teams to be more competitive in the upcoming season. The Broncos may have found a key piece of the puzzle with quarterback Bo Nix, who they selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. They will be hoping that he can step in immediately. To add more depth and experience, the Broncos may turn to the trade or free agency, with rumored trade targets including Kyle Pitts (TE) of the Atlanta Falcons, Jaycee Horn (CB) of the Carolina Panthers and Matt Judon (LB) of the New England Patriots.
