ENGLEWOOD, Colo. --
But London -- and the United Kingdom -- holds a special place for the Broncos. Denver's first overseas game was at Wembley Stadium against the Los Angeles Rams in 1987, and the Broncos returned for a regular-season game against the San Francisco 49ers in 2010. As the NFL grew in popularity during the 1980s, the Broncos' winning ways helped the club become one of the most popular in Great Britain. That fervent pocket of Broncos Country is stronger now than at any point before.
"It's always had that carry-[over] from the 1980s and 1990s when we started seeing the game for the first time," said Sky Sports News HQ's Ben Ransom, who visited Dove Valley to interview Elway on Wednesday.
