It's been a long time. Doesn't seem like that long, and yet it also feels like forever. But to be more specific, it will have been 3,262 days between the Broncos' last playoff game and their next one - this weekend at the Buffalo Bills.

The last playoff game played by the Denver Broncos was February 7, 2016 and it was Super Bowl 50 against the Carolina Panthers. Peyton Manning was the QB. Gary Kubiak was the head coach. Von Miller was the MVP.

No players from that championship team remain in Denver. Brandon McManus was the last one, and he left in 2023.
