NFL Team Comparison:
Team Identity
- AFC: Kansas City Chiefs – High-profile, highlight-reel stars, pressure to perform.
- NFC: Dallas Cowboys – Big brand, huge audience, always in the headlines.

Built for Prime Time
Founded in 1988, the Broncos took the league by storm.
Instant success. Star power. Packed stadiums.
They weren’t just good – they were a juggernaut.
Throughout the 90s and early 2000s, Brisbane owned the NRL.
Six premierships in their first 20 years. National dominance. And crowds that filled Suncorp like it was a religious rite.
Legends in Maroon and Gold
- Wally Lewis – “The King.” Queensland icon. The Broncos’ spiritual godfather.
- Allan Langer – The little general. Crafty, brave, unstoppable.
- Darren Lockyer – Calm, clinical, classy. Could win games in his sleep.
- Shane Webcke, Petero Civoniceva – The engine room. Built for war.
- Corey Parker, Justin Hodges, Steve Renouf – if you saw them in a Broncos jersey, chances are it was during finals footy.
The 2023 Heartbreak
Let’s talk about the elephant in the stadium.
The Broncos were seconds away from winning the 2023 Grand Final.
Up 24–8 with 20 minutes to go… and then Penrith happened.
It was brutal. It was heartbreaking. It was very Broncos.
Because when you support this club, you don’t get quiet seasons.
You get thrillers, collapses, comebacks, and controversy – and you feel every moment.
Modern Broncos: The Reload Is On
- Reece Walsh – Speed, swagger, and electricity in cleats. A human highlight reel.
- Payne Haas – Built like a rhino, moves like a centre. One-man wrecking crew.
- Adam Reynolds – Veteran halfback with a golden boot and ice in his veins.
- Patrick Carrigan – Future captain. Pure work ethic. Future wall art for fans.
This team is primed for another era – they just need to finish what they started.
The Vibe
Brisbane is big team energy.
They get the Friday night games. The headlines. The scrutiny. The hype. The pressure.
But they also get the players, the crowd, and the chance to deliver in the biggest moments.
Backing the Broncos is like riding a roller-coaster at full speed – thrilling, terrifying, and impossible to look away from.
