The Orange Sea — The term 'Orange Crush' historically refers to the dominant defensive unit of the late 1970s and early 1980s: The Orange Crush defense is specifically associated with the 1977–1979 seasons, not the early 1980s.
The Orange Sea — The color orange has been the primary identity of the franchise since its founding in 1960, never changing despite various uniform redesigns: The franchise's original primary color was actually a darker orange (sometimes called 'bronco orange'), and the shade
John Elway — Elway is one of at least three individuals associated with all three of the Broncos' Super Bowl wins, not only two.
John Elway — Elway is not the only quarterback in NFL history to score a rushing touchdown in two different Super Bowls; Tom Brady and others have done so.
Empower Field at Mile High — The surface is listed as A-Turf Titan Artificial Turf; the actual playing surface at Empower Field at Mile High is a natural grass field (Kentucky Bluegrass), not artificial turf.
Empower Field at Mile High — The lore mentions banners for the 1997 season and 2015 season Super Bowl championships; the entry omits the 1998 season (Super Bowl XXXIII) championship banner, which also hangs in the stadium.
Steve Foley — Foley's NFL career spanned 1976–1987, not 1976–1986.
Broncos Stadium at Mile High — The entry states 'the modern facility became the home turf for the dynasty years of the late nineties, hosting critical playoff victories that propelled the team to consecutive championships.' This is incorrect because the modern facility opened in 2001, while
Broncos Stadium at Mile High — The entry states 'The original venue hosted Super Bowl XII before the modern facility opened in 2001.' This is incorrect: Super Bowl XII was played at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, not at the original Mile High Stadium.
Frank Kush — The claim that Frank Kush's son Danny Kush played on the 1975 Fiesta Bowl team is incorrect; Danny Kush played for Arizona State from 1971-1973, not 1975.
Frank Kush — The claim that Holden Smith poured root beer over Kush in 1983 is incorrect; the incident occurred in 1982.
Dan Reeves — The entry incorrectly states Reeves led the Broncos to Super Bowl XXII; the Broncos did not appear in Super Bowl XXII. Their appearances under Reeves were Super Bowl XXI and Super Bowl XXIV.
Super Bowl XXXII — The claim that the victory ended a 'roughly 38-year drought for the franchise's first title since its establishment in 1960' is incorrect; the span from 1960 to January 1998 is 37 years, not 38.
Super Bowl XXXII — The 'DID YOU KNOW' claim about winning a Super Bowl in their home state's conference championship game venue is factually unclear and misleading; the game was in San Diego, not Colorado, and the phrasing does not correspond to any known NFL fact.
