— After their 38-0 win against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Denver Broncos are in the playoffs for the first time in nearly a decade.

 

The last time the Broncos made it to the playoffs was in the 2015 season. The team went on to win the Super Bowl that year, and have missed out on the playoffs with more losses than wins every year ever since, except 2016. That is until this year, the team is going into the playoffs with a 10-7 record.

 

Much of the team’s success this year has been credited to quarterback Bo Nix, who has garnered impressive statistics so far this season and won multiple awards, including a second AFC Offensive Player of the Week. According to the Denver Broncos, Nix is the first Bronco to win the award multiple times within a season since Peyton Manning in 2013. Nix also became the first in Broncos franchise history to win three Rookie of the Week awards in a row, topping Tim Tebow’s two consecutive awards in 2010.

 

But the Broncos went through many quarterbacks before arguably striking gold by drafting Nix for 2024. In fact, the team has had 13 different starting quarterbacks since Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler led the team to the playoffs in 2015 when they ultimately won Super Bowl 50.
