The 2016 Denver Broncos season was the franchise's 47th season in the National Football League (NFL) and the 57th overall. It was also the second and last season under head coach Gary Kubiak as he retired at the end of the season due to health concerns.[1]
The Broncos entered the season as defending champions of Super Bowl 50, after undergoing numerous roster changes as well as an off-season and preseason that was dominated by a quarterback controversy, following the retirement of Peyton Manning. Following a 4–0 start, the team sputtered down the stretch, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2010, as well as having their franchise-record streak of five consecutive playoff appearances and five consecutive AFC West division titles snapped.[2] In addition, the Broncos became the 12th consecutive team to fail to repeat as Super Bowl champions, as well as the first reigning champion to miss the playoffs since the 2013 Baltimore Ravens. In terms of statistics, the Broncos' offense scored more than 30 points only once and ranked 27th in total offense. Head coach Gary Kubiak abruptly resigned at the end of the season citing health reasons but would remain as a consultant for the Broncos before returning to coaching in 2019 as the assistant head coach/offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, where he spent 2 seasons before retiring from coaching following the 2020 season.
As of 2024, this represents the most recent winning season for the Broncos.
