2011 DENVER BRONCOS PREVIEW:
It’s been a long and winding road over the past few years for the Denver Broncos franchise. However, after firing head coach Josh McDaniels and replacing him with the experienced John Fox as head coach, seeing the Broncos return to prominence is not out of the question.
The Broncos will have a relatively reliable quarterback under center in Kyle Orton when they kick off the season. While Orton will be solid, the productivity of the talent surrounding him may be in question. Running backs Knowshon Moreno and Willis McGahee will shoulder much of the carries. The wide receiving corps is led primarily by big play threats Brandon Lloyd and Eddie Royal.
The defense is most certainly the strength of this year's Broncos team. Specifically, they have one of the best linemen in the league with Elvis Dumervil, who emerged as a premier pass rusher last season. Additionally, the Broncos are lucky to have Champ Bailey, who not only adds veteran leadership but also an excellent cover corner. Rounding out the squad is safety Brian Dawkins, who will be entering his third season with the team.

The Denver Broncos play in the West Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) of the National Football League (NFL). The franchise was founded in 1960 as part of the American Football League (AFL). As an AFL team, the Denver Broncos were abysmal, rarely having a winning season and nearly losing the franchise in 1965. After joining the NFL, the Denver Broncos would find their first success after signing John Elway at quarterback in 1983. Elway and running back Terrell Davis would eventually lead the team to two Super Bowl championships in 1997 and 1998. After Elway's retirement, the team has continued to have incredible success at running back and decent playoff success. The quarterback position has been more of a problem to fill. The Denver Broncos can't be counted out of any game, however, and their offense can put up points in a hurry.
The Denver Broncos play their home games at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. The stadium has a capacity of over 76,000. Attend an explosive Denver Broncos game at Invesco and watch football in the shadow of the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
