Denver Broncos WinninG traDition

Denver Broncos football enters its 55th season in 2014 as the team seeks to return to the pinnacle of success it enjoyed with back-to-back Super Bowl wins in 1997 and 98. Playing for the 14th year at their glistening stadium, Sports Authority Field at Mile High, the Broncos will perform before sellout crowds for the 45th consecutive season, the first 31 of which came at Mile High Stadium. The team has sold out 341 consecutive regular-season games and 360 consecutive contests including playoff games. Broncos fans have watched their team amass one of the NFLs finest records since the clubs first winning season in 1973, enduring just seven losing seasonstied for the fewest in the NFLas shown in the list below.

This season also marks Pat Bowlens 31st as owner of the Broncos. During that time, Denver has enjoyed a virtually unmatched level of success in the context of the entire NFL and within the American Football Conference Western Division.

More than 650,000 people descended on downtown Denver on Jan. 27, 1998, to salute the World Champion Broncos two days after their victory over Green Bay in Super Bowl XXXII in San Diego. A parade through the streets of the city culminated in a rally at Civic Center Park, where Colorado Governor Roy Romer and Denver Mayor Wellington Webb officially welcomed the Super Bowl champions home. A similar gathering was held a year later on Feb. 1, 1999, when the Broncos returned home from Miami after defeating Atlanta in Super Bowl XXXIII. Governor-elect Bill Owens and Mayor Webb joined the festivities to salute the back-to-back World Champs.

On March 5, 1990, the Denver Broncos moved into the Paul D. Bowlen Memorial Broncos Centre, the state-of-the-art headquarters for the National Football League team located in Englewood, Colo.

The Broncos facilitysituat-ed on 25.5 acres in the rapidly ex panding Dove Valley Business Park in South Arapahoe Countyis named for the Broncos owners late father and is the culmination of Pat Bowlens desire to maximize a positive working environment for his football team, which captured back-to-back World Championships with victories in Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII.

During the 2014 offseason, the Broncos invested over $35 million to renovate its existing facility and construct an indoor practice facility adjacent to the teams current headquarters.

The ongoing 2014 capital improvement plan at Dove Valley, which will make the Broncos head-quarters one of the elite training facilities in all of professional sports, includes: ExpandingthePaulD.BowlenMemorialBroncosCentreby15,890squarefeetonthenorthend

There is ample practice space available for use by the Broncos on the three outdoor fieldstwo with natural grass surfaces and one with FieldTurf, completed in June 2003. FieldTurf is a synthetic blade surface with a rubber and sand infill. Both of the grass fields have a unique design system that includes underground tubing to prevent the turf from freezingand thus allows the Broncos to practice year-round on unfrozen natural grass.

The new indoor practice facility, which is scheduled to be completed in November 2014, will enable the team to utilize a full-length field in a climate-controlled environment.

The Broncos strength and conditioning center is situated north of the Paul D. Bowlen Memorial Broncos Centre. The weight room, spanning approximately 9,000 square feet, along with the 18,000-square foot indoor turf field, affords the football team and its strength and conditioning staff one of the finest training facilities in the NFL.

The Broncos original headquarters consisted of a Quonset hut on Clay Street near Bears Stadium, the teams home field. In the mid-1960s, the franchise moved into a different facility at 5700 Logan Street in North Denver. The series of small buildings served as the clubs home until the Paul D. Bowlen Memorial Broncos Centre in Englewood, Colo., was completed in 1990.

Pat Bowlen enters his 31st year as Owner and Chief Executive Officer of the Denver Broncos in 2014, and his tenure of ownership is indelibly stamped as one of the most successful periods for any team in National Football League history.

The longest-tenured owner of a professional sports team in Colorado his-tory and the only owner in NFL history to achieve 300 overall victories during his first 30 seasons, Mr. Bowlen presides over a franchise that is one of the

crown jewels among NFL clubs. By any definition, the Broncos are at the pinnacle of professional sports franchises.

The Denver Broncos are the soul of the city, Mr. Bowlen serves as the owner and steward of this sterling franchise, and the legend of both team and owner are marked by achievement and success at every level. Whether judged by the measure of wins and championships, attendance, national television exposure, or by his and the Broncos reputation locally and throughout the NFL, there are few parallels in the world of professional sports.

The Broncos have grown from being Denvers first major league franchise in 1960 to Colorados state religion, and Mr. Bowlens culture of winning and integrity has permeated the Rocky Mountain region.

Three consecutive AFC West Division titles (2011-13) for the first time in team history and an appearance in Super Bowl XLVIII have invigorated an organization where the standard is to be the best. The team continues to aggressively pursue a third World Championship to add to its winning tradition, and Mr. Bowlens commitment to that goal is unwavering.

His status and reputation as an owner were recognized within the state in 2007 when Mr. Bowlen was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. Most recently, he received the 2013 Mizel Institute Community Enrichment Award, the regions most prestigious philanthropic accolade, for his community leadership and unwavering commitment to the city of Denver and state of Colorado.

Mr. Bowlen has fashioned a powerful reputation among his peers as a bold, dynamic leader who is single-minded in his pursuit of excellence, whether representing the Broncos, the city of Denver, the state of Colorado or the National Football League. He presides over a franchise that by any standard has been one of the NFLs most successful in his three decades of club ownership (1984-present).

Mr. Bowlens six Super Bowl appearances, including back-to-back World Championships follow-ing the 1997-98 seasons, are tied for the most by an owner in NFL history. Denvers 11 division titles since 1984 are more than all but three NFL clubs, and its 25 seasons with a .500 or better record during that span are easily the most in the league.

Denver is the only team to post at least 90 wins in each of the last three decades, and the fran-chises 307 overall victories under Mr. Bowlen (1984-pres.) rank third in the NFL (2nd in the AFC) during that span.

In addition, Denvers 302 national television appearances under Mr. Bowlen are the most in the league. That total includes a league-high 171 prime-time games as well as 127 appearances as part of network doubleheaders.

For many years, Mr. Bowlens reputation as an outstanding owner has been well known nation-ally as he is held in the highest regard by fans, players, coaches, his peers and NFL executives. In 1987, he finished second in The Sporting News Executive of the Year balloting. In December 2000, ESPN conducted a fan poll asking which NFL owner would be the best for which to play. Mr. Bowlen finished first among all NFL owners with 44.7 percent of the more than 60,000 votes cast.

Pat Bowlen was introduced as the majority owner of the Denver Broncos on March 23, 1984, and that announcement triggered a new era in franchise history. Mr. Bowlen and the Bowlen fam-ily acquired 100 percent ownership of the Broncos in July 1985, and currently his brother John Bowlen owns a minority interest in the Broncos.

Mr. Bowlen immediately put his own mark on the Broncos, establishing a solid administration and creating a positive atmosphere that was a major factor in the teams success both on and off the field.

Champions are built from the top, and Pat Bowlen is a model of leadership in the scope of his drive and commitment. I want us to be number one in everything, Mr. Bowlen has often said in

a recurring theme that marks his management style. Everyone knows that it is the owner who pro-vides the financial backing that is integral to a championship team, but many fans are unaware that much of the heart, soul and drive of this championship organization come directly from Pat Bowlen.

He has made all of his managerial moves with one goal in mindto aggressively position the Denver Broncos for another Super Bowl championship. No one sets higher standards for the Broncos than Pat Bowlen himself, whose goals have always been to have his franchise regarded among the finest in pro sports with victory being the measuring stick for that success.

Thus, the ultimate goal of this dynamic and energetic owner remains firmly set on repeating the World Championship seasons of 1997 and 1998.Below is a summary of the Denver Broncos success during Mr. Bowlens ownership (1984-2013):

Broncos have drawn nearly 20 million fans to their home games from 1984-2013, marking the highest total in the NFL.

The facility is named after Pat Bowlens father, and the Broncos moved into the building on March 5, 1990. This past offseason, the facility underwent $38 million in renovations and construction, including the addition of a state-of-the-art indoor practice facility.

John Elway, a dynamic leader with experience guiding organizations to World Championships as both a player and executive, enters his fourth season with the Broncos in 2014 as the clubs Executive Vice President of Football Operations/General Manager. He was named to his current position by Owner Pat Bowlen on Jan. 5, 2011.

Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame following a magnificent 16-year career as a quarterback with the Broncos from 1983-98 that included five Super Bowl appearances and two World Championships, Elway is responsible for overseeing all football operations for the Broncos. He directs all aspects of the teams player acquisition process, including college scouting research relat-ed to the NFL Draft along with pro personnel efforts related to free agency and trades.

Bringing a competitive and experienced football acumen to Dove Valley, Elway has infused the clubs football operations with a winning culture and a positive approach toward building a championship team. He holds final say on all football-related matters while reporting directly to Bowlen and President Joe Ellis.

Elways vision and aggressive approach toward free agency and the NFL Draft have guided the Broncos unprecedented progress in his three seasons as the clubs lead football executive. Inheriting a Broncos team that finished 4-12 in 2010, Elway oversaw an improvement to an 8-8 mark and an AFC West title in 2011 followed by consecutive 13-3 records and AFC No. 1 seeds from 2012-13.

Denver has totaled the third-most overall wins (37-17, .685) in the NFL in its three seasons under Elway while posting three consecutive AFC West titles for the first time in team history. The Broncos have been among the NFLs most active clubs in improving their roster under Elway, utilizing the NFL Draft, free agency, trades and waiver acquisitions to assemble a championship-caliber team.

Entering 2014, Elway has made several bold upgrades to a Broncos team that owns the leagues best overall winning percentage (.778, 28-8) during the last two seasons. A trio of Pro BowlersDeMarcus Ware, Aqib Talib and T.J. Wardwere signed to upgrade Denvers defense while up-and-coming wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was added to the Broncos record-setting offense.

During his three seasons as an executive, Elway is the only general manager in the NFL who acquired a future Associated Press All-Pro through the NFL Draft (linebacker Von Miller 2011), street free agency (quarterback Peyton Manning 2012) and unrestricted free agency (guard Louis Vasquez 2013). Of Denvers 29 selections made in Elways four years leading its NFL Draft preparations, 25 of them remain on the roster, including two who have already earned Pro Bowl honors (Miller, 2011-12 and tight end Julius Thomas, 2013).

Additionally, five college free agents during the last three years have appeared on the clubs active roster, including cornerback Chris Harris Jr., who in 2013 was named the NFLs Most Underrated Player by CBSSports.com.

The Broncos 2013 squad, more than 90 percent comprised of players acquired or re-signed by Elway, advanced to Super Bowl XLVIII to mark Denvers first Super Bowl appearance in 15 years. Manning, who was signed by Elway on March 20, 2012, set NFL single-season records for touchdown passes (55) and passing yards (5,477) to earn his fifth Most Valuable Player Award from the Associated Press.

The Broncos 2013 offense, which was the highest-scoring (606 pts.) unit in league history, received key contributions from unrestricted free agent acquisitions Vasquez (first-team AP All-Pro) and wide receiver Wes Welker (career-high 10 TD receptions). Rookie running back Montee Ball, selected by the Broncos in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft, also was a pivotal part of the Broncos playoff push, posting the second-best rushing average (6.5 avg., 52-337) in the NFL during the final six weeks of the season.

Linebacker Danny Trevathan, a sixth-round pick by Elway in 2012, led the club with 124 tackles in 2013 while defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, an unrestricted free agent addition, anchored the Broncos Top-10 rushing defense.

The Broncos 2012 campaign, which included 11 consecutive victories by at least seven points to end the regular season, was marked by Elways acquisition of Manning, who finished the year as runner-up for league MVP and was named Comeback Player of the Year by the Associated Press.

with the No. 2 overall pick in 2011, was one of seven Broncos to make the Pro Bowl in 2012, marking the clubs highest such total in 11 seasons. The defense also received contributions from second round draft pick Derek Wolfe, who became the 13th defensive lineman in NFL history to start every game and have at least six sacks as a rookie.

During his first year in his new role, Elway immediately made his mark as an NFL executive by guiding the Broncos to an historic turnaround in 2011. He assembled a team that became only the third since the 1970 NFL merger to win its division and a playoff game with a new head coach following four or fewer wins the previous season.

His first NFL Draft class in 2011, which included AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Miller and tackle Orlando Franklin, produced the second-most starts (56) in the league that season. Free-agent running back Willis McGahee earned Pro Bowl recognition after leading the NFLs top rushing offense with 1,199 rushing yards.

Elways initial decision leading the Broncos football operations was hiring widely respected NFL vet-eran John Fox as the 14th head coach in team history on Jan. 13, 2011. Fox proved to be the perfect fit for the Broncos, finishing third in the Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year voting after helping the franchise earn its first AFC West title and playoff victory in six seasons.

In 2010, Elway worked for the Broncos as a consultant on various initiatives after gaining a substantial amount of football operations experience during eight years as co-owner and chief executive officer of the Arena Football Leagues Colorado Crush (2002-09). He ran the day-to-day operations of the Crush from its founding in June 2002, leading the club to an ArenaBowl championship just three years later.

Elway was heavily involved in the Crushs business operations, including marketing, promotions and sponsorships, with his efforts resulting in the club being recognized as a premier franchise on and off the field. He was named AFL Executive of the Year in 2003, a season in which the Crush won the Commissioners Award presented annually to the most outstanding AFL franchise, and was honored as co-recipient of the 2005 Founders Award for his contributions to the AFL and its growth.

During his time with the Crush, Elway worked closely with Bowlen, who served as one-third owner of the franchise beginning with its inception. He held various committee assignments, including working as co-chair of the AFLs competition committee and chairman of the leagues executive committee beginning in 2007.

After the Crush struggled through a 2-14 inaugural season, Elway turned the fortunes of the team around by hiring Mike Dailey as its new head coach. The Crush compiled a 46-34 (.575) mark under Dailey from 2004-08, including a 6-3 record in the postseason, and captured two Central Division titles (2005-06) during his tenure.

The pinnacle of Elways time with the Crush came in 2005 when the club won ArenaBowl XIX in just its third year of existence by defeating the Georgia Force 51-48 in the championship game.

The starting quarterback for the Broncos in an NFL-record five Super Bowls, Elway capped off his ten-ure as a player for the organization in 1998 by winning Most Valuable Player honors in Super Bowl XXXIII after leading the Broncos to their second consecutive World Championship. He retired as the all-time winningest starting quarterback in NFL history with a career mark of 148-82-1 (.643) while finishing with the second-most passing yards (51,475) and third-most passing touchdowns (300) in league annals.

Always driven by pressure, Elway directed the Broncos on a league-record 47 fourth-quarter or over-time, game-winning or game-saving drives in his legendary career. He also earned a franchise-record nine Pro Bowl selections and was named the Associated Press NFLs Most Valuable Player in 1987.

A 1999 inductee into the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame, Elway was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2004.

He graduated from Stanford University with a bachelors degree in economics while concluding his collegiate playing career with five major NCAA Division I-A records and nine major Pacific-10 Conference marks. As a senior, Elway was a consensus All-American and finished second in the Heisman Trophy balloting in addition to setting virtually every Pac-10 and Stanford career passing record en route to being the No. 1 overall selection in the 1983 NFL Draft.

A highly touted athlete from Granada Hills High School (Calif.), Elway also played baseball (outfielder/pitcher) at Stanford and was twice selected in the Major League Baseball Draft (18th round by Kansas City in 1979 and 2nd round by the New York Yankees in 1981). He was named the Yankees top prospect by Baseball America and played outfield for the clubs short-season Single-A affiliate Oneonta Yankees (N.Y.) in the summer of 1982.

Elways late father, Jack, retired from the Broncos in 2000 after seven years with the club, including the last five as the teams director of pro scouting. Born June 28, 1960, John is married (Paige) and has four children: daughters Jessica Gwen (28), Jordan Marie (26) and Juliana (22), and son Jack (24).

John Fox, one of the NFLs most experienced and respected head coaches, enters his fourth season with the Broncos in 2014 after being named the 14th head coach in fran-chise history on Jan. 13, 2011. Fox, who has coached multiple Super

Bowl teams and ranks 33rd in NFL history with 115 career wins, joined the Broncos after spending the previous nine seasons (2002-10) as head coach of the Carolina Panthers.

A proven leader known for his positive, energetic coach-ing style, Fox has appeared in three Super Bowls during his NFL coaching career, including two as a head coach. In leading Denver to Super Bowl XLVIII in 2013 and Carolina to Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2003, he became just the sixth head coach in league history to guide two different clubs to a Super Bowl.

He has coached 33 players to a total of 63 Pro Bowl selections, including Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive end Michael Strahan and defensive back Rod Woodson. He has also coached perennial All-Pros such as quarterback Peyton Manning, cornerback Champ Bailey, safety Brian Dawkins and defensive end Julius Peppers.

In three years under Fox, the Broncos rank third in the NFL with 37 total victories (37-17, .685) and have captured three consecutive AFC West Division titles for the first time in team history. One of just five head coaches in league history to win at least three consecutive division crowns to start his tenure with a club, Fox owns a 15-4 (.789) overall record against AFC West opponents during the last three seasons that is the NFLs third-best divisional record during that span.

Foxs adaptability has allowed the Broncos to flourish is many different circumstances, from featuring the leagues No. 1 rushing attack (164.5 ypg) in 2011 to thriving under Manning, a five-time NFL MVP, and a record-setting passing offense from 2012-13.

His 2013 Broncos posted a 13-3 record to earn the AFCs No. 1 seed for the second consecutive season en route to making the clubs first Super Bowl appearance in 15 years. Denver set NFL single-season records for points (606) and net passing yards (5,444) while registering the sec-ond-most total yards (7,317) in league annals.

In his second year with the Broncos in 2012, Fox led the club to a 13-3 record and the top con-ference seed while earning his 100th career victory in the clubs regular-season finale.

The Broncos ended the 2012 regular season in dominant fashion under Fox, recording 11 consec-utive wins by at least seven points to becoming the third team in NFL history to accomplish that feat. Posting an undefeated record in AFC West play for just the second time in club history, the Broncos were the only NFL team to finish in the Top 5 in both total offense (4th) and total defense (2nd).

He became the 10th coach in NFL history to deliver a division title in each of his first two years and just the third individual to accomplish that feat after inheriting a team that finished with a losing record the previous season.

During his initial campaign with Denver in 2011, Fox led the Broncos to their first AFC West title and playoff victory in six years en route to finishing third in the Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year voting. He became only the third head coach since the 1970 NFL m
