They rode thir defense to more playoff appearances, and then (honestly) sort of lucked into getting one of the best QB prospects in history with Elway in '83. Elway was their first marketable name, and he completely changed the fortune of the organization, and the city of Denver as an NFL market.

This is a team that, in spite of being one of the NFL's marquee franchises for four decades, didn't get their first player in the Hall of Fame until well into the 21st century (and is still ridiculously underrepresented there).

Teams that win get attention. It doesn't matter where they play. It doesn't matter what color their uniforms are.
And now no one cares about them.
