Although the first decade of the
Denver Broncos, a charter member of the AFL, was less than stellar,
the team has been one of pro football's leading teams since
the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. Overall, the Broncos have
claimed six American Football Conference championships (1977,
1986, 1987, 1989, 1997, and 1998) and posted wins in back-to-back
Super Bowls (XXXII and XXXIII).
