Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos are a professional American football team based in Denver, Colorado, competing in the National Football League (NFL). They are newsworthy due to their recent performance in the 2026 NFL playoffs. The Broncos advanced to the AFC Championship game after defeating the Buffalo Bills 33-30 in overtime, a victory secured by Ja’quan McMillian's interception. However, their Super Bowl aspirations were dashed as they lost to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game. This loss prevents them from competing in Super Bowl 2026, where the Seattle Seahawks will face the Patriots. The Broncos' performance and ultimate defeat have significant implications for their season outcome and future prospects within the AFC.
