One of the proudest franchises throughout the history of the NFL, the Denver Broncos and the team's fans are not used to a string of losing. Pat Bowlen bought the team in 1984 and built one of the best winning traditions in all of professional sports.
Fans came to expect a winning, competitive team, but since the team won Super Bowl 50, there has been plenty of disappointment.
The Broncos have missed the playoffs in each of the last four seasons, the longest streak the team has suffered since missing the postseason five straight years from 2006-10.
