NO!I said the 48 year gap – between the merger and Mahomes first start – KC won just four playoff games in that gap, as opposed to our 8-2 AFCCGs, 3-5 SBs, etc.
Bla bla bla
The only sports teams were AAA baseball and minor league hockey. The Broncos were an exciting
a-l-m-o-s-t major league team, and the fans loved ‘em. “Dynasty” was still 20+ years away, but all these folks wanted was to be "Major League." For now, Rodeo Bucking Bronco chutes built as entryways to the locker rooms would suffice.
Careful, your Wild West Is showing!
Mile High Stadium, 1967
Denver Broncos Floyd Little and Marlin Briscoe head for the rodeo chute and through into the locker room. Briscoe became the first African-American quarterback ever to start an American pro football game, and Little was later enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

I remember John Elway telling a story couple weeks before the 49ers-Broncos SB. The whole city, the whole state picked up on it, and people started repeating it like a quasi-mantra: John asked his mom, “Hey mom, you excited about heading to New Orleans, another Super Bowl?” She responded, “Oh John, do we have to play the Super Bowl?”
There is one last thing I’m sure of: Visiting fans should NOT have to surrender the pride they have in the accomplishments of their team when they’re here. I never will.
