After winning Super Bowl 50 following the 2015 season, the Denver Broncos had a winning season in 2016 (9-7) but failed to make the NFL playoffs in their first year following Peyton Manning’s retirement.
Since then, the Broncos went seven-straight years without a winning season and eight-straight years without a playoff berth. Denver has the second-longest active playoff drought in the NFL, only trailing the New York Jets (14 seasons). The Broncos could pass the No. 2 spot to the Carolina Panthers (seven seasons) on Sunday.
Denver can clinch a spot in the 2024 NFL playoffs with a win (or tie) against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18. With the team potentially on the verge of snapping it’s eight-year playoff drought, here’s a look back at the Broncos’ last ten seasons.

2015: 12-4 (won Super Bowl)
